Would you like BGR to close the doors and shutdown the site?
#10
The greater majority of members are good people and have great posts.  I'm sure QQ would be the first to say that this isn't directed to the majority.  The people who this refers to know who they are.  In all, it just really makes the site look bad and nobody wants to wade through the garbage of trying to find out what happened in a ball game by reading 10 consecutive posts where 2 members are just personally attacking each other on some basis or another.  If you have a problem with a person, please don't clutter the message boards with it.  There is a private messaging option that you can communicate with.

I for one love this site and would hate to see it go.  But with all of the problems, complaints, arguing, and personal attacks recently, I can understand why QQ feels this way.  This site was set up to discuss mainly sports topics and voice your opinions without being charged or fear of being banned.  It was not set in place to try to belittle every person you don't see eye to eye with.  That just shows immaturity.  As QQ said, we'd rather have 1 quality member than even 50 members who continually cause problems. 

Everyone gets heated on a topic or post sometime and that's ok.  It happens to everyone.  But when that feud carries on for an entire page on the thread, that's a problem.  When a good chunk of your posts are an attempt to belittle someone, on anything, no exceptions, that's a problem.

Everyone just needs to keep their maturity about them when posting on BGR.  It's a privledge to be a member of BGR and be able to communicate and voice your opinions with thousands of other members for free, not a right.  It's all at QQ's discretion.  This site could be gone tomorrow.  It may be here for another 100 years.  Nobody has a right to personally attack a member because they hold an opinion that varies from their own.  BGR is for discussion, not for arguing. 

I love what you've done and created here QQ.  I hope the site just continues to spread and get better and better like it has the whole time I've been a member.
