[QUOTE="JTComfort, post: 2176285, member: 103514"] This site is well run, the members are very respectful of each other and are here for good intentions. The creators and administrators state the mission and set the context. The contributors drive the content and if they understand and stick to the mission, the results are good content in good context. When we make the mistake of confusing the "internet" and social media platforms with protected Free Speech outlets, we've forgotten that we're moving in a curated space. FB is a dog's breakfast and is no more "free" than public high school with hall monitors and guidance counselors everywhere. When someone says, "MY f/b page", they've missed the whole point - its "members" are the product being bought and sold, contributing content to feed the database. Admins of boards, including F/B aren't required to listen to "our side of the story" - they are echo chambers of the creators' context and if the creator is a control freak, the cracks show, quickly.
