We walk(and police) a fine line here.
From the get-go we offered an alternative to forums allowing themselves to being disrupted by(insert common farm utility building name) as well as the constant bashing of him, upon which he thrives.
As far as SPOF goes, though initially a shelter from the same guy as well, it eventually radically changed direction (and alliances) under the cover of free speech and no censorship (unless the censored posts were historic fact and/or valid warnings about dealing with a since-proven crook)
We still will not allow unchecked bashing of either of these entities, or really anyone, but the sale, and subsequent fair distribution of the proceeds are certainly forum-worthy topics up to a point.
Tom's revalation(for me, at least) about shares being for a software project and no one owning any part of the forum surprised the hell out of me because I thought that was exactly what he pushed at the time, though I must confess, I was already a little jaded and did not devote as full concentration as back when I thought that P and I had common interests, and a common foe.
Either way, kids, play nice!
