The point isn't respecting O&A.

It's respecting this board, and its purpose, and Alkey.

Criticism, and well thought out opinions aren't the problem. The constant harping and bitterness are.

It's ok though, keep pissing all over this board. While you're all at it, assume that my only involvement is because I want the show to recognize me and mention me on air. It should be easy for most of you, considering that's probably why you're all bitter and caustic now.

The fact is that this board is a community. It's made up of a bunch of different people with different tastes, motives, likes and dislikes. To hold the comments of any one person against the entire board is just ridiculous.

You mention respecting the board and its purpose and Alkey. What is the purpose of the board? Isn't it meant to be an open forum of discussion?

I'm sorry Silera (and Alkey by proxy), but when you try to tell people what they can and can't say you seem very froy-esque. That is not a good thing.

And let's be honest, getting a mention "on air" from a show that does not currently exist is pretty laughable.

Remember one thing, froy thought this board couldn't survive without him. People thought the board wouldn't survive without the show. Both were wrong.

At the end of the day, maybe it's more of a blessing than a curse to not be endorsed by O&A (did Opie ever really endorse any board other than wackbag out of spite?).

Let's not fall into being hypocrites by silencing people that say things that are deemed inappropriate by O&A. Let the community decide what is and is not acceptable. As far as I can tell, it's been a while since there was a good flaming around here.
