Okay, Randy. Whatever. It seems rash and a bit of overkill, IMO, to cave in to those who wish to pull the plug on OMNI just because they can't always get their way.</font>
I agree 100%. I think there was a bit of overreaction here, which could have easily been solved through aggressive moderation and perhaps tweaking the BB settings (if it's possible).
OMNI was a big part of this "community": a place to thrash about opinions, and ask questions (which often got answered) about various innane things of momentary interest. It was one of the few places on the net without a proprietary interest/agenda (save maximizing miles/points/travel experiences), and that's what made it valuable-- an opportunity to interract with others of various backgrounds/beliefs/nationalitites, etc.
Make it an "invitation only" circle-jerk, and I'll just have to go elsewhere, for all topics, I'm afraid.
