daoust, from my impression of the chat log The reason you were "shushed" was because you did not contribute to the discussion but rather demanded clarification for the topics being discussed. While it was in a public chatroom, neither halx or supplecow felt you were contributing and both first ignored you and then eventually told you to shut up (done fairly politely, i think). When you became irate because of it you were kicked.

While I have no idea what TRG means, I think that your goals of what the TFP should be are vastly different than what the forum goals were intended to be. When i first signed up the emphasis on the board was provoking thought and learning new things. While this was fun and entertaining at times at others it became heated or 'prickly' and some topics were difficult to discuss reasonably. When i first browsed the forums i wasn't just looking for a "lighthearted evening of fun". I have that at home, with my friends, or on other bulletin boards. What made TFP special to me was the ability to talk about touchy subjects with a modicum of reason and dignity. I think we've lost that ability, and that we've been losing it slowly for a long time.
