Hulkster you have an Axe to grind with Ironage , you really do , stop acting like a crusader for peoples feelings , if you don't feel welcomed don't post its that simple , I posted I don't think Shawn Ray is great on Ironage and that opinion was met with very strong oppostion and I didn't cry " I don't feel welcomed "
Pompous & one-dimensional assumptions. A good example actually, of iron age dogma in making it personal and vindictive in lieu of sticking to issues.
It's not about having feelings hurt, nor is it about avoiding an unappealing site. It's obvious that we can avoid an unfriendly & judgemental site. Many here have no interest in going on there, but have a desire to make known the unpleasant experience of going there.
What he's referring to I think is the unfriendly vibe that follows comments that aren't welcome. Either the offenders are banned out of hand or the threat becomes a constant. They'll ban your ass over any number of questionable issues that don't follow conservative dogma.
And the ways in which the threat is communicated ain't exactly diplomatic. Rather, it's coarse; the ol' mallet. Exactly why the site is considered suffocating and obnoxious.
