I think at this point even F6 would roll over in his grave.
Mark would never have let it get so out of control where the conix troll is given free reign to bitch about the moderation constantly. That it's been allowed to become such a sewer is a head scratcher for sure.
BullNBear, So your campaign to get admin. to take Tornado Alley's free status away continues, eh. You almost succeeded once. It was taken away - by a kind of mistake - until we asked why. Then with the considerate understanding of admin. we got it back, almost immediately.
I'm not surprised the milk of human kindness runs more strongly among admin, than it does in you. Highly disappointed again. Not surprised.
There is among admin. a genuine appreciation of Mark's contribution to iHub and how he would feel about the situation today. Appreciation and understanding which you in your mean spirited and misguided rant obviously lack.
"After taking a day off yesterday and reading the TA board I find it an entire waste of time. The only thing it is good for is for trolls who are freeloading on Ihub. I think at this point even F6 would roll over in his grave. I have no idea why the board remains free. It did piss me off when I made an innocuous post and the moderator decided to parse the damn thing to hell and back. While he continues to feed trolls for his amusement. Life is way too short for that BS."
Your misrepresentation of Mark is sad to see. Your misrepresentation of me there is not surprising.
It's sad that your envy has taken you to such a distorted view of Tornado Alley. All objectivity out the window. It's sad that you obviously feel there is some sort of competition going on between the two boards. In spite of the fact that i told you clearly some years ago that was a silly position to take.
You sure never knew Mark very well. Yeah, i know of how you ran to admin. behind his back and that he was furious about that. And i know you then again broke your word on that score with him. And of course you did it to us not all that long ago when you whined to admin. re our continued free status.
In spite of Mark filling me in on all your spiteful maneuvering he told me sometime fairly long back that he and you had agreed to let bygones be bygones. Both he and i felt good about that. And that it had to be particularly good for you. I thought we had reached that stage also.
I can tell you with absolute certainty Mark would totally understand and appreciate the situation which exists today. The situation you have so sorely misrepresented above.
And that Mark would roll over in his grave if he could read that you were still whining about his board behind the back of the moderators today.
Umm, ok, consider this just posted three days ago
sortagreen, We, the moderators here, do share your feelings. More at some times than others.

Part of our deal is that we don't want to be seen as simply an echo chamber - though trolls as conix make that blatant and stupid lie accusation even now - as most all of the conservative political boards on iHub are seen. Seen like that because they are nothing more than echo chambers.
That is, in part, evidenced by the fact most all of us here are banned on all of the conservative boards here. At least those which have been around as long as TA has been.
We also feel a responsibility to carry on Mark's legacy to some degree. He argued with, got fed up with and banned and unbanned trolls. Just as we do.
There was a time i recall, perhaps about 5 years ago, TA was a bit quiet and Mark suggested to me - he ran it by a couple of others too - that we take some of those on the ban list then off it. Which we did. We took about five in all off at one time. i think, most of those have left us again, either voluntarily or not. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=164386814
I repeat again there should be no competition between the non-conservative boards on iHub. As i encouraged you to accept, so long ago, we are on the same side.
And please stop misrepresenting what Mark's position would be if he were alive today.
