robvberg, I know. The board is chaotic right now. And probably Randy never envisioned such strong opposition to his goals by a few flyertalkers. So at the time the post was made, it was ok to post that subject under that topic, and now it's not. Obviously the transition to enforcing the rules is going to be a little disruptive and uncomfortable. Perhaps next time someones wants to continue a discussion begun prior to the changes, they would just begin a new topic in the appropriate forum and post a link to the old discussion saying "to continue this discussion...

I do not believe that Randy's 'attempt to regulate' these boards will destroy it. I do believe that a few posters who are really unhappy about the changes will continue to try to gather support for their positions, causing more chaos and unrest in the meantime till they finally acquiesce or go elsewhere. But Randy has stated his vision, his goals, and his rules pretty clearly and I don't imagine that continued kicking and whining from what is essentially a very small percentage of registered posters will change his mind.

would terminate your existance if stricly enforced. (Which I am NOT advocating.) But I wonder if your excellent qualities (Loving, Caring, Honest, Intelligent, Empathetic, Creative, and Giving.) would be absorbed by your alter ego, or if they would go away if you do?
