Bernie, you may choose to ignore certain people and it is great if that works for you, however, you cannot force others to ignore them, too.
Prior to Ozstamps, doc was the most controversial person on FT. He believes either 1) he can keep on posting, knowing he will get flamed, and use his "flameproof bunker", 2) or have Randy define the rules.
If rules (in whatever form that it may take, moderators, enforced TOS, clarified decorum, etc.) can prevent flame wars (see #1) from occurring, which I believe it can, I am all for it. I respect your ideas Bernie but this is where you and I disagree.
I do not want doc to post the way I want nor the other way around. I want people to post in a way that flame does not occur and I do not belive ignoring the posts is an answer. I am for moderators and UAC svpii.
