Actually, we've been restricting from day dot one. That's why we have moderators. There are a huge number of discussions that we don't allow. For example, we don't allow anyone to come in here and start issuing ma, behn ki gaaliyan against you because we deem that obnoxious. In some social circles and bulletin boards, that type of freedom of speech is totally acceptable and even encouraged.
When you registered at GupShup this information was clearly provided in the rules and regulations outlining your obligations as a member and our responsibilities as management.

Actually, that's not true. What you were doing is campaigning and rallying members to demand something that I and the Director of the forum have already vetoed. All this serves is to create uproar and unrest in the community.
We are peace-loving people. ;) And we can easily refer you back to the guidelines that stipulate that we reserve the right to edit/delete any thread on any subject without recourse.

Precisely. Now you're on the right track. And by acknowledging this fact, you also show your understanding of the concept that these folks have expertise through experience at what they do, thereby giving added weight/value to their opinions.

Frankly, your attitude itself has left a lot to be desired ...especially in the last two messages. You have shown disrespect for the volunteers that keep this place running. Is that any way to win friends and influence people?

Having slagging matches and insulting each other is not a "healthy exchange of information and ideas". Perhaps what you believe as the "whole point of having" a bbs is different from ours'.
Worry no more....there are other bbs's in the cyber world...and I'm sure that one of them will provide the environment you are in search of.
This board will not launch the section that you are looking for.

Nah.....we think you should just learn to live a happier life by being with a group that sees eye to eye with you.
We're here and we're too far involved to shut this thing down now. Some members would be really ticked off if we did that....and we value the opinions of those members too much to leave them stranded.

I totally understand how you feel. Sometimes the same thought crosses my mind about some folks. How in the world do they do it?
