You know why Tommy's always right? Because he's a mature adult who can see beyond his own needs/wants/sensibilites. He realizes that newer/younger members just want to participate. Almost everyone when they first join message boards tend to post too much. As they grow and learn, they realize they don't need to flood the board. A little patience goes a long way...............................Larry

Off topic or not, this forum is Justin's. It's the place where he conducts his business and earns his living. When new members come; they are potential customers. By mocking them publicly, or stating they should be banned, or giving them guidelines for how to post, you are putting Justin's potential business at risk. I know if I go into a store and see the customers hanging out are rude, I don't want to shop there regardless of the product. Remember, if you don't like a certain member or their topics, it is VERY easy to scan passed them. Just try and think what reflects worse on NIGHTOWL- simple topics involving information on horror movie characters we may already know, or belittling insults.Thanks,Steven<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndDude, couldnt have said it better.You rock, always have always will.........

Silliness. Actually, some of us just function by different rules and standards.I remember on the original Friday the 13th forum, people like Tim.Mosely would have already gotten at least 1 warning for this kind of stuff - perhaps even a ban due to age requirements alone. Not to mention the multiple threads per day, and the impossibly inane and useless manner in which they're posted.Perhaps my mind is just stuck back in those (simpler) days, and I'm far too mean-spirited because of it.Cheers,Ryan

Then fellow board members voted for their release or execution lol.

Ya know, maybe we are the same ones that are always defending him and others because we were brought up with the ability to treat people with the amount of respect they deserve, regardless of whether they are young or old, new or veteran members. I have seen much worse threads being posted by regular members here. The bottom line is what Steve summed up nicely. If ya don't like it, then ignore it.....or leave. At the end of the day, it's about Justin and his business....take care,Tommy<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndAgree!

I agree, we have to end apartheid for one. And slow down the nuclear arms race, stop terrorism and world hunger. We have to provide food and shelter for the homeless, and oppose racial discrimination and promote civil rights, while also promoting equal rights for women. We have to encourage a return to traditional moral values. Most importantly, we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people.
