Vigilante censor, Mark Winans, seeks to shut down Forum

I do not really agree with a person going to advertiser and threatening boycotts. However, I do find it amusing that the person can back it up with example posts. I also find it very amusing that one person mentions that he has not seen any examples of Ron Anderson threatening Americans but then goes on to say he has said stuff about Muslims... Ah, perhaps think about that a minute or two.

I do not spend a ton of time on here and actually spend less all time. Partly because of how strident some of the posts are. I just did not realize how prejudiced some of the users are. I do very much agree with the person that said Supertopo is a product and if you want to take it to the next level then moderation (something I really do not like) may need to be considered. Supertopo is supported by advertisers and I have a hard time believing the advertisers support or condone some of the more hard line posts that go on here.

There comes a time when you have to decide on whether you want to be a bush league site or if you want to be a business. If you want to be bush league than do not worry about the advertisers and let everyone do what they want. If you want to be a business you will probably has to have some folks tone it down a bit. It is rather obvious from following the forum the last few years some folks are unable to moderate themselves.

Here's to sweat in your eye.

It's a white guys forum, figure it out.

Ban the people that add no value and be done with it.
