All this fighting amongst us is giving me a fucking headache and I don't like headaches.
Let's look at the indisputable facts:
1) We are all Halx's guests.... regardless of how we donate or what he thinks of us (personally, I doubt he even cares who Pan6467 is) or whatever.... but this is his house.
2) His house = his rules
3) Donations liked but he has never once come and said donate or leave, never once said there is an admission price, never once tried to force ANYONE on this board to pay. Thus, he owes nothing to anyone who does choose to donate. After 3-4 years, I think it is safe to say he is not going to take people's money and shut this place down tomorrow and buy a ticket to Tahiti.... (I'm sure there are times he wished he could.... here the nipples on the women's tits point skyward).
4) Halx could at anytime throw anyone of us out simply because he didn't like the user's name....... but he chooses to set rules.... and the ONLY agreement in TFP is that as guests we abide by his house rules and as the owner he will show you respect and you can post, view and come and go as you like. Break the rules face the punishment.
5) Halx has decided he wants more members, he's trying to find a way to get traffic, new blood can result in new topics, new opinions, new insights, new friendships, etc.
6) As guests we don't need to agree with Halx, we don't need to like what he's doing.... but in his house we need to respect his moves and not question them.
If we had a house we would expect Halx and everyone else here to respect our wishes.

I just love people who use the excuse "I use/do this because I LOVE the feeling/joy/happiness it brings me" and expect you to be ok with that as you watch them destroy their life blindly following. My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
