At that time I decided that this board wasn't worth my time, I wasn't going to get sucked into any of the political nonsense anymore. I also realized that some posters actually make their comments because they want to get a "rise" from others and to suck those people into their discussion/confrontations. I apologize for using profanity but I was getting tired of the political and obnoxious posters/threads and hoped that the mods and AC would put a stop to that and allow the board to be more civilized and "vegas" related but that never happened.
I now post regularly on VMB since they don't tolerate political threads and uncivil tones. I do notice that some others are also moving over to that board. I know that some here think that the board will be dead without the political threads (true for this board) but VMB is flourishing very well without the political undertones. Yes, sometimes I feel "constrained" on VMB because they even moderate posts that have uncivil undertones but I would rather have a civil board than one that allows political threads to overtake the true nature of the board. Many of the regular posters here wouldn't last on VMB because their political opinions or even controversial or snide comments wouldn't be allowed on VMB.
I still come here regularly, but only to look at the Delete thread. Thanks blade for your continuous additions on the Delete thread, if it wasn't for that thread I would never come back to this board. I read and replied on this thread because I wanted to explain my actions (profanity) and also explain why so many have left this board. A number have been banned but many (such as myself) left because this board has become less of a vegas free for all and more of a political/controversial whiners board.
That is JMHO and I'm sure that I and others who left aren't really missed here.

Snide comments by members here are enough to make you want to leave...or being accused of posing as another poster. You tried to trick me to see if I was one while a group of others made my joining pretty crappy.
