So if the situation is really as bad as you claim, why don't you leave? I mean, if one dislikes this forum I have no idea why they would force themself to stick around.
I see this posed by mods a lot of the time and not to bash but think this is a way of saying "My way or the Highway" and I enjoy the forum.
So those that may feel they are getting a raw deal may read more into that statement then me and it eventually will create a bunch of like minded people that do not differ from one another in thinking,or are scared/worried about saying something different. Can see it already to some extent with newer accounts worried about being tagged negatively by a established account for disagreeing.
Nothing personal either,just think its a comment that stifles discussion and I do realize this thread is getting long in the tooth.

Least you say it in a gentler way,seen another mod thats a little more crusty around the edges saying it in a more hostile manner.
Can you produce some proof of such "tagging" (or mods banning) "for disagreeing", or is it again one of those cases where you make tall claims and then run away when asked to substantiate?
The forum certainly has issues but a mod having an opinion isn't one of them.
