wonderful tactic, remove the whole group just to silence one individual who
you allowed to get up your nose - because that's what he does given half the
chance.

lets all take a moment to remember why p-ot was deemed necessary in the
first place, and then remember how the group had become almost a focal point
for the many in this little online community. It wasn't just POV'ers sharing
there knowledge anymore, it was POV'ers enjoying a real sense of belonging
in a group where almost no subject was taboo.

Sure your bound to get inflammatory statements, trolls, flame wars,
religion,
politics and all the rest, but better in p-ot than in p.g!, you didn't have
to read it. if people didn't care for a particular thread they could just
ignore it (exactly what I did through the whole trig wars), and to top it
off a 14 day spool.

nice one guys, just great.
