Troy...One cannot dictate how one thinks or feels. I don't like particularly like porno (adult) stores, the fact that it is stated ‘adult store’ on the building gives me the option of entering or passing by, I find passing by quite simple and in fact am I happy I was made aware of the fact that it was an adult store so I could pass by.
Stocks threads are different beast the OT boards here, I was under the impression that they like clubs for us posters to have fun with, a great idea IMO. As long as the rules of the board are clearly stated I would think any mature learned poster should be able to decide if they wish to participate or not, it is a choice and not a right to read or post there.
I find it rather controlling and a lack of control to attempt to squash or remove the store simply because it is not to my liking.
There are two kinds of people here on IH IMO. The first is the one who is mature enough to hit the next button and ignore what they don't like. The second is the one who thinks their opinion is more important than others and attempts to control or bully that which they disagree with. Unless it is a privacy violation or a clear case of moderator abuse I see no need for Matt Bob to moderate an OT board.
JMHO!!!
