Back Alley is a venting ground, and any idea of rational discussion there is unlikely. Its purpose is to keep flame war arguments off the main boards.
These boards have a long history predating Boardhost, all the way back to MSN. Many of the same flame war players active now, participated back then.
Nothing changed until registration was implemented. Those who complain most about Back Alley are those who were either booted and banned, or ignored from the getgo. They were unable to bypass registration. They had and have nothing good to say about Blue or Back Alley.
It appears much of their vitriol died down, even where they still post. The DNR system on R&E reduced it, as did a few periodic time outs. A few minor players still generate animosity.
I hope I didn't attack you there or anywhere. I apologize if I did. I know you and Sia had a couple procedural misunderstandings that seem to have worked out. Greenman is another matter I hoped would work out. I don't lie about anyone or anything. I have been WRONG about some things. But being wrong, and lies are two different things.
The only DNR I was sad about is Mondo. We kept the peace all the way. It was working out fine. But for a while he targeted Sia and Merlin on R&E and reached a point where I could not ignore it and watch them be attacked relentlessly and repeatedly. Made me feel like a hypocrite.
You can look away from a painting, but you can't listen away from a symphony
