Agreed. It annoys me how it's considered more important to be nice than honest. Seems like the politics threads always get shut down as soon as they start to get interesting.
The exhibition threads are good examples. I'm sure everyone here has at some time opened one of those up and thought "holy crap, you look like a horse that got hit by a Mack truck!" But if you expressed your opinion you'd be kicked off the board. I understand it may not be nice, but IMO that should be the risk you take in posting your pictures on the Internet.
However, the TFP is private property and as such the administrators can regulate what is said on it however they damn well please. That's fine by me. Nobody here is forced to use or fund it. It's just that I'd tone down the forced niceness stuff if I was running things.
