There's this self-righteous BBS that I know of and on it a few of the posters seem to be playing foot-see in the sack (figure of speech) with the rulers to accrue special privilege and brownie points over other posters that are far more enlightened. There is more brown nosing going on there than one can stand to stomach in a one hour sitting. Kinda reminds me of two dogs with their noses buried walking in a circle. They hate it when one of there own is in danger of losing an argument so to remedy the problem they threaten banishment at the one that's not in their click.

Case in point is the one where there is this guy that is mild mannered and very knowledgeable on many subjects this individual willingly offers others that he doesn't know great information then suddenly he gets slapped in the face by another accusing him of quoting from the Nazi bible. Being a mild mannered guy I was very suprised to see him come flying out of the gate swinging and defending his point of view. What was said offended him greatly (myself also) so he had that right and he stood his ground and didn't back off (a trait not many possess) even after the threat of expulsion.

To that guy that stood his ground kudos, lots of young bucks such as myself appreciate and admire that type of resilience.

The board in question may not like the MSNBC board, but at least they don't play favorites.
