I'd make one, small modification.
DJ has consistently and repeatedly stated that this is not "his" site but rather "our" site - - we are the hosts.
DJ prefers to behave as any other poster here...not as one who has authority to delete, criticize, etc. I interpret this to mean that he believes that if we choose to continue negative threads by constantly posting under those whose only motive is to cause trouble, then that is our desire for the nature of the board and he'll live with it (up to a point, as those of us who lived through the famous "lockdown" well recall).
I suspect that DJ's intent, in behaving as "the most patient,liberal and tolerant son of a bitch" most of us have ever met is to teach the rest of us the value of those attributes.
Put two people together and you'll get two opinions. Put a couple thousand together and you'll get all kinds of crazy disagreements. Put them together in a worldwide public forum and expect any and every thing.
Disrupters who are here for no reason other than to cause trouble should be tracked and dispensed with. Clusterheads, newbies and ha sufferers who don't know what type of ha they endure should be welcomed, despite or perhaps because of, their uncertainty, occasional lapses of tact, repetitive questions and other perceived lapses of netiquette.
DJ has worked overtime the past couple of weeks deleting bs from idiots who have nothing better to do with their lives than attempt to draw attention to themselves by disrupting this board. Ignoring these jerks is our second best defense...the best is to just go on with our efforts to help and support clusterheads.
KTSSU,
