I dunno. There's a bit of an old boys club I'm sure. I've been friends with them for years. I don't agree that there is an upper echelon. Sure, everybody respects the work that's been done over the years but it really yeilds no clout or control over the community or this website at all.TommyRude wrote: I don' agree wit that at all.
Face it, if I said, oh, I dunno, YCSTR's videos sucked, no one would really care. (Not sayin' they do, jus' usin' it as an example.) Some people might get mad, but in the end no harm would befall anyone.
But, if I said Brad Demoss' or Kusayaro's vids sucked, chances are that when it was all said an' done the post would be deleted, the thread would be axed or locked, an' I might get banned. Why? Because like I said, causin trouble is fine, but piss off someone in the upper echelon, your ass is toast.
Really though, nobody should be looking to piss anybody off. It's really not hard to avoid pissing people off. It's all about behavior.
Did what happen to SpPanda stink? I'm certainly smelling something in the air, but I'm not going to blame Hsien or Brad.
