"You know they are reading everything that posted here.
I don't think they ever did like any of us. Let 'em read. "
At a conf FHB sponsored, Andy E introduced me to a bunch of the suits and wigs at a round table. The expression they all had was priceless - like they had just met a creature from Mars, or worse.
This site is harder for me to navigate, but they have great little  things here, donchaknow?!

Again, well said.
Thank you.
Revenge and vindictiveness is only going to hurt all of us.
Not the people that everyone is angry at...

Aaaand, once again, I am reminded why I am so proud to call you friend.
Wow.
Common sense may be commonly uncommon.
But then some pig comes along, carrying around enough for a dozen people...
Thank you Brian.

He doesn't need them.
He'd just get the screen all sticky anyway.

The powers that be seem to me to have made a big decision and that is to eliminate the Tavern or as others have said reduce it to a tea and crumpet social.
Even with all of us gone within a few months,I can assure you if someone asked where's Jagwah or piffin or rez or jhole the response will be, Who?
Taunton's counting on time, which they have, to empty the malcontents. They'll redefine everything and we'll go elsewhere, like here.
I wouldn't hold my breath that a boycot will work. But that said I'm game to try.
To the Abyss my bretheren, I stand with you.

Whats with this site...grrr. Just spent an hour writing a post and it said it wasn't valid and dissapeared...grrr.
No one like me anymore...
I'll write a shortened version but I'm exhausted already.
I was booted apparently for good b/c weeks went by and I couldn't post. No explanation as to what I did for over a week. I was totally clueless. No warning even.
I was never kicked out b/4 either.
I was then told I made a racist post!! ME...racist? So much for the moderators knowing a thing about whats going on in their own site. Even cops know the MO of people in their hood.
I used to frequent a site that was new. Was about timber framing. That led me to another site that was very well established and I think as big as BT if not bigger.The Forestry Forum
They wouldn't allow me to post so I wrote the owner of the site and he actually called me on the phone. I was shocked!!! He spent a little time explaining to me that the little new site "he saw me in" was started by someone they were having legal problems with....I got it! I was so impressed that he took the little personal time he took to smooth things out. I've directed scores of people his way ever since. a little goes a long way.
I love the saying...tell five people you love their product and gain ten more people....tell five people how bad the product is and loose a hundred.
Too many people..especially in this economy get too big for their britches and treat good customers like they don't mean anything. I think thats a huge mistake.
One of the things they do in the Forestry Forum that I think is GREAT...is they have a sort of Board Room folder where the owners/sponsers and some members go into to help the forum keep on a positive track.
I originally was sold on FHB when I discovered the Forum. The people that ran the place from the mods to the editors all seemed to me to be caring creative people. People I related to. JLC was a great "trades" rag and TOH was fine for old house DIY'ers but FHB seemed to be trying to take things further. They seemd to be reaching out more then the other rags. I really loved that about them. I suppose that was then and this is now...huh?
I'm not about looking to hurt anyone...with a boycott or whatever but I'm also not one to let someone toss me like trash without having some kind of say in it....some kind of way.
Some people most certainly deserved to be tossed but I think most didn't...especially the way they did it.
I had a mix of emotions...from sad to mad.
Like a lot of you,...I was part of the community for a decade.. I offered help to folks and got help in return.
It was another incredably valuable tool. Made me sad to see it tossed in the trash so easily.
I don't wanna be where I'm not wanted but its a pretty sad day when the higher ups treat people with so little regard and respect.
Wish my first mail didn't dissapear...grrrr.

Carole here. I can't believe what happened. I know that some posts were juvenile and sophmoric. Some were even hateful, but those people kept posting and posting. I guess I was on the wrong side of this election <G>...I began posting at BT when husband got back into the furniture designing business. I know I have been lambasted some times because I was not in the business, but I suspect there are many who lurk over there are not in the business.
Anyway, I did not receive a notice. I was booted once because of what I said to someone who shall remain nameless.:) I hope all of this gets worked out.
BTW, some of you are over at CooksTalk and have been welcomed, but some are stirring the pot over there. Beware, some ladies over there are ferocious.
I really don't have an opinion on the boycott, but I will support whatever happens.
Carole, formerly Pi.

Sheesh! I finally found my way back in! I DO miss my old screen name though.
Don't actually know how I feel about this topic yet.
But then, I am very rarely offensive at BT.

Andy - I did the same thing getting the hang of this place. There's a "quick reply" that shows up when you're reading the post. I'm guessing if you just want to say "yes" or "no", that's the ticket. It must have a time limit on it from the time you open it.
I think the realization is that Taunton doesn't want the Tavern or especially the crap that sometimes gets spewed there. The mods here know us and we're not likely to be missjudged. OTOH, we need to not bring the venom over here from BT.
I'm here to help and learn about construction related issues and joke around a little - this is amusement. If I feel the need to argue politics or religion or look at lame porn, I'll take it to Buttkickski's forum.

Noticed about the only pol thread over at BT yet is to trash Sarah, the moderator must not like her <>G?
Anybody have a list of who got banned, have not seen Bill Hartmann (who always had more helpful tech posts to folks than he did dut and paste of non-liberal news stories. Cant beleive Boss would get banned either.
Guess if Carole and Andy got banned too, it is not just one sided politics.
If I had a lot of time (which I dont, > 10,000 air miles coming up this week) it would be interesting to describe the pres elects with quotes from past diatribes against GW and see what happens ??
