    So following that perspective , those in the majority, should ignore the reply , not slander and call the dissenter nasty names . How has that worked so far? Agree with the majority, or not comment on a thread? Sounds draconian.

    You missed the point...the forum would be a better place if you and you friend would just ignore posting your unwanted crap and ignore us.

    As you just admitted, you know what the response is going to be. So by posting your crap, you're purposely 'stiring the pot' ...and breaking the rules


    3(a). Personal insults, inappropriate or offensive content, the incitement of violence, or disrupting behaviours, which are detrimental to discussions in the forum will not be tolerated.

    B) Is this message something that most members would like to read?
    C) Does this message add value to this forum?

    3(b). Personal attacks on members, cyber bullying, libel comments or bashing/slandering of businesses, organizations, individuals or corporations will not be tolerated. Threads deemed to be an attempt to "stir the pot" or are looking for support on their attack will be removed.
    If the mods were diligent in enforced the rules, pretty much anything you and your 'friend' post would be removed..so save them the effort and just stop posting the crap that is disruptive and detrimental to the forum.

    Expressing a contrary opinion is not a disruptive behavior.

    So from that point of view, anyone who does not agree with the majority must just shut up? Someone else's response, breaks the rules, is it my friends fault? He made me do it? Someone says cons are best, I disagree. I am stirring the pot...... I post libs are best, someone disagrees, I am still stirring the pot? So if I do not agree , that the cons. are best, I am at fault, and disrupting the site?

    Participation in discussions is not only encouraged, contrary or not, makes the forum interesting. But when, as these two have continually do, a post is purposely provocative posts to deliberately be disruptive and argumentative...it becomes Trolling.

    example:
    Sometimes the wife sees me smiling as I converse with you gentlemen, and asks why. I reply , ' I've really got them going today'.

    example:
    I don't think anybody on this forum will let you decide what is a trolling post as your threads are hand picked to be provocative and stirring the pot. Maybe you should stop worrying about your "post count" and try and post more balanced threads. IMHO

    Me spelling out for you what you do and what you are is not an insult its reality, take you own advice and contact a moderator if you have a problem with my post. Nobody is going to let you run the forum.

    Why did I see this thread going down hill with the usual participants.

    Who else would care? How is it going downhill? Two sides stating their opinions without name calling or slander, seems like a discussion to me.
