I see that my "offensive" post was deleted by our ever-present moderator. Perhaps my language was a bit strong calling the people on this board nuts, but come on, was it necessary to delete the message? I maintain that the people on this board are a bit loopy (is that more acceptable?) in that they complain constantly about how they hate what this board has become, and yet they can't help themselves but respond to the "offensive" posts in ways that are equally offensive, if not more so. Do you remember some of the name calling that went on recently? Truth be told, this site is not the end-all authority of baby care and parenting. Granted, it has been helpful to many people, myself included. But I also admit that I like the occasional conflicts that come up. I find it laughable that people will whine and complain about how this board is ruined by posters like me and claim folks like me need to "get a life" and yet it is these same people who are reading this post mainly because of its subject line. Even funnier, some folks will read a post that's whining about some previous post, will actually go back and look through the various archived pages to find exactly what was offensive, and then make comments about how bad this board has become! Do you not find this hypocritical? Admit it, YOU ALL LOVE THE CONFLICT!! YOU THRIVE ON IT! If posts like this one weren't on this board at least occasionally, you'd stop visiting here so frequently!! I especially like to see the "This is my last post" messages only to see that same poster back up and posting days later. How many times have you "resigned" from this board, dear reader? I suspect it was done so you could reap the nice messages about how you shouldn't leave and how important you are to this board, etc. I see that some have started their own boards. That's great. Don't worry, I won't bother you there, but I'm willing to bet you hope I do. That way you can take whatever satisfaction you can find in wiping out my post and then trying to get me banned from the internet. Here's an idea, Mr. Moderator. Create a flame board. And when a negative post like mine shows up, move it over there. I GUARANTEE you that board will get the most traffic! Heck, I'd bet you could even put banner ads there and STILL people would come. THEY CAN'T HELP THEMSELVES! It's human nature!
