…To bother to argue with or question the owner’s policies or actions is not only disrespectful and inappropriate, but seems childishly oblivious…
To the contrary, it’s the child’s reaction to proclaim their right to their toy (forum), and send the other kids home because one doesn’t like the way they play.
Most of us adults abide by certain social etiquette, even if things aren’t going the way we’d like.

No, things aren’t going the way you’d like, are they? See, it’s not about what you, me or anyone but Mike wants, cause Sways is HIS. You and certain others are focused on what they wish was being done with something that is not theirs. I recognize what IS happening, and that the party making decisions has every right to do as he sees fit. That’s a grownup viewpoint. I am telling you the way it is. You are telling me the way you wish it was and are upset that things are not so…the very kernel of childishness. Mike could ban or censure me or anyone here in any way, shape or form, and be perfectly within his rights, and no one could do anything but complain. He would have to accept the consequences in terms of website membership and utiliztion, which would affect the value of advertising placed here, and the flow of donations he gets, if any, but it is still no one’s choice but his. It is everyone’s choice to come here or not. Don’t like it? Go start your own community. I am merely pointing out to you lotus-eaters the way the world works. Whether you believe it or not, the world changes not. You want something that you aren’t getting and I am merely pointing out what is happening for those of you who are wearing rose-or-other-colored glasses. My happiness with the way this place is run never occurred to me. You are obsessed with your own feelings on how Sways is run. I cannot lose. You cannot possibly win. Next.

I gave it up already bro…
WHY YOU STARTIN SH!T!!! LOL (just in case anybody might want to take me seriously)
Good talking to you yesterday.
Give me a buzz when you got a minute…got a quick question for you…OK?
Not so much directed at you, as all those that spend 8 hours a day on some forum, conceive some imagined ownership in it, then complain about how it’s run. A form of idiocy I have no patience with. This place has its share, as does any gathering place of minds, online or face-to-face. The funny thing is, critics are always the last to get off their useless, cowardly, incompetent asses and take the risk and put in the work to create something themselves. Their bread and butter is to criticize someone else’s labors. That is why I have no respect for such voices, and abundant contemp, in fact.
Round two! I’m backing BammBamm as he knows far more about glassing than I do. No punching above the belt as I want to see every dirty trick in the book!

There is nothing dirty about my thoughts (wait that came out wrong…and possibly untrue…) um, my thoughts as posted here. It’s logic. Twice a homeowner, twice a father, small business owner, expert (thought not master) at what I do. I’ve put on a tie and carried to his grave the casket the man who twice tried to murder me. I’ve survived and earned everything I’ve achieved. What I know about glassing is not the point, but what I’ve learned about life while living it. I didn’t ask for and don’t care for backup. Things are what they are. Ignore it to your own detriment.
You are telling me the way you wish it was and are upset that things are not so…the very kernel of childishness.
So wishing that people were fair, even when they have the right not to be, is childish? Yes, I suppose it is quite sheltered and childlike really. But it’s a beautiful notion, isn’t it? Which is why I guess you called me a lotus-eater.

Far from it. I think this is my 4th ever post. I really have no significant feelings towards Sways, just a suggestion that the mods were a bit less trigger happy with the locking. It makes them look bitter or sourgrapes or something.
Keep talking. You’re looking smarter and more credible by the word…
3 options for you now, 1)back-peadal (which you seem to have chosen), 2)get personal and start flaming, 3)or leave it be. And let’s not forget the one that for you will NOT be optional: grumble to someone sympathetic.
Bob, show him what he’s won!
Personally, I was hoping you’d go for #2, or as the other poster put it “below the belt”, cause in cyberspace, my balls are as absent your brain apparrently is. I’D BE IMMUNE !!!
I didn’t lock these threads, but I Would like to know about the whole “popish hat” thing…is that what master glassers get when they finish their apprenticeship?? I was busy today doing a 3-green tint swirl modfish, so missed all the fun…
I bet Garrett would have made those waves on one of his normal pipe boards though!!!
Option 2 looked quite tempting till you said you had no balls… I’m afraid I just couldn’t flame a man in that state ;).
I stand by my comments regarding the overactive moderation. As do you, clearly, about the mod’s right to do whatever the h3ll the mod wants. Stalemate. See ya round bammbamm.
and what if Mike the Master of This Web just said “F^ch it” , and the next time you try to log on you get a permanent 404 message…Game over…I KNOW Mike has better things to do…
Wat’cha gunna do then…???..
Go cry on 'ERBB about it, or start your own SDF…It’s easy, right…???..
Some of y’all just don’t get it and the rest of us just shake our heads at your cluelessness…It’s so obvious…
