That is not the impression you gave at the very beginning of this thread
when it was still called Trading Post. You were quite happy that the site
concerned was as slow as hell in operation on dial up. You were quite happy
that it seemed ok to you on broadband! Nothing else seemed to matter?

Force? Any? Form? Regulation? Who is forcing what? I am wondering who you
are actually disputing? Who recognises you as criticising them in
particular? Name some names. C'mon Travis, lets have it all out, pick on
someone (not me) and lets see if they do say what you claim they are doing
and saying. In the end, it has to come down to individuals. You are making
these general claims, but get down to specifics. Name and accuse
individuals. You will never be as unpopular as me, ever, so don't worry...
