just curious if you are belittling me on purpose or if I am just reading too much into it?

Guys! We're all on the same side here! I'm not ready to say it is a cheeseless tunnel, but I am living by the rules, for now. If they stand, well, I'll have a decision to make. Until then, I will continue here, more or less as normal. I don't think that precludes me saying that I don't agree with the new rules, and encouraging our hosts to reconsider!

That is an extreme case Saffie...NO ONE I believe is comparing this board and its policies to the atrocities of the Nazis.
I hope they are not.

I know it's extreme -It was puposefully so for illustrative purposes. Just accepting everything you are told does not always make for a great outcome. I was just putting that point forward and trying to illustrate that one perhaps should not just accept things when they appear unjust and without validity.

I was brought up to believe that rules are for the obedience of fools and only the guidance of wise men, (women).

Or disagree with it. I thought it was a free country. What is wrong with respectful disagreement from the customers?

PDT,

I think the key is "respectful disagreement". This thread is sometimes degrading away from the respectful part.

Really? I didn't see that. All I see is those who disagree being told to "know your place."

What I find hilarious (and more than slightly hypocritical) is that SWL and IMP are on this thread bitching about us bitching.

Hmmm....

Where I come from, if you didn't agree with someone you simply let them go their merry way.

SWL, IMP? Go find a thread that you can agree with or have something constructive to say in.

As others have pointed out, this thread exists because some of us believe the policy is in error.

You don't have to agree with us.

Would be cool though if you didn't fill a page and a half of the thread with YOUR rantings about us NOT ranting.

Good God...


Blessings,

Bill
