Not calling you out here, please don't misunderstand my motive.

I am just taking the opportunity to show EVERYONE why criticism about him and other boards shouldn't be posted HERE.

Part of my "defense" for having the Back Alley is because that is where criticism actually belongs so this board remains "clean". That way no one has to see anything that may offend them personally while participating or reading because it doesn't belong here, as agreed to from the beginning of the twin Blue boards.

I kept pointing out to Ken that what he asked for in not allowing attacks against him was maintained here where it was reasonable since civil discussion is expected. It is not expected in the Alley where he or anyone offended never had to be exposed to if it upset them.

This thread is a major failure on my part to do that. Ken should not have responded as he did here and I should have shut this type of discussion down when it began. That is on me, not you.

That said, this entire thread needs to be shut down so the standards our mod team agreed to follow can be restored and all the ugliness can return to only the Alley.
