    Bingo. Anyone PMing you Larry calling this place the "communist republic of Popo" or whatever aren't the type of people we need here. If you delete someones thread or post for being derogatory, it deserved. You are on top of that more than anyone else IMO, and that's what's making this such a great place. I think you're doing a fantastic job.

    For those that dont know, the Brewer Brother's sold me their shares and I partnered up with Sean W (Fastbird) as Co-owners of this wonderful site. And with the EXPERTISE of our other Admin (MEISSEN) I think the site has been operating as close to flawless as it ever has since I joined... I also took over the LTX facebook page and with the help of Miss Popo have been trying to make the activity on there to POP.

    I'm only asking for critisism on me and my connection with all that is LTX.... if the other guys want criticism, I'm sure they will chime it (but I wouldn't want anyone giving criticism to anyone who does not ask for it.

    Personally, I think that Fastbird and Meissen are the cats meow...lol... Couldnt ask for anything more from my Co-owner and Co-Admins...

    So I come to you all asking...How am I doing???.... Recently, Ive had some issues with one members, who have left and not come back.... Ive had people message me things like, "Welcome to the communist ltxtech of popo where opinions are shunned," simply because I deleted comments that were derogatory towards someone else in our community, or negative for no reason... I remember one person telling me that Im 2 defensive or on a power trip......I know JOKES have been made that my new nick name is LOCKTITE because I have locked a few threads that I didnt want to see get any uglier...I have even seen some complain in other places about me from when I tried squashing a thread that had taken a multi page ugly turn on here....

    Most of the time I have a pretty thick skin, but I figured, maybe its time to have everyone else s perspective.

    Not saying I'm perfect, or that these negative things aren't true... but I figured I would come to you all to tell me....

    How Am I Doing....?
    I saw one of the threads and was a bit surprised by almost interrogative nature of some of your posts. I do understand sometimes its hard to turn off the ever vigilant and suspicious nature of being a leo. Imo just relax a little and take them at face value. If some one is a fake they will hang themselves in due time.

    I can see were some people think yb is one big romper room. but there is only 2 sections that are not moderated. Here is a post buy the mod in the gun section. Its a pretty good representaion of most section.

    This place has many great people who frequent the forum and everyone's input, help, suggestions, experiences are all welcome here. You may get challenged on your position but I'd like to make sure it's all kept friendly, decent language, patient, normal stuff that most of you have a grasp on.

    You may challenge ones position and claim, but not an attack. Hard to draw the line but I think if we make an effort to be decent and patient in our approach as we are typing away on the keyboard, we will have a more successful point being made.


    If the flavor of the thread begins to get sour and it is not about the content of the forum it'll have to get deleted or closed.


    We typically do not come to a resolve on an internet message board. Something to keep in mind before we get too wrapped up in one thread.


    Now before someone says, "I think I read this before" maybe you have just a few words have been modified from the original that another author wrote and I was allowed with his permission.

    I think you, Sean, and Brian are doing a great job. I was gonna mention the informational but cluttered with unneeded posts on LS1Tech and the Bullet but Brian hit the nail on the head with this quoted post. Those sites are great for entertainment but you really have to search through some BS to get a good answer, not the case here. I can brouse this site here and not fear something questionable poping up if a supervisor is standing behind me. Keep it up guys, and Miss Popo!
