Communities change. When we don't like what's going on in OUR community, if an element of society starts buying up all the property around us and moving in and we don't like it, we move out.
No one forces you to stay at TFP. We appreciate what everyone has to contribute, however there are certain things that will not be tolerated. We do this so that we don't become one of those boards that everyone says shit about. We made rules because it's easier to say "read this so you know what is not allowed". As I see it, most people enjoy the fact that they can come here, post their feelings about something, and NOT be flamed for it.
Do you live in a community now where there are no laws? Are you allowed to openly urinate on your neighbors when it's not asked for (some people like that, so watch out)? Can you walk over to your neighbor's house and intrude on his property whenever you like? Rules/laws are a necessity for order.
And if you're upset because we won't let you flame or talk negatively about anyone, then that's a serious problem. There are many places out there where you can insult people. TFP is not one of them.
If people want to flame, insult, or just be plain rude, then there are some places they can go. On the net, try
http://www.becauseyouareacunt.com/ and in RL, try Ed Debevic's in either Chicago or Phoenix. You can get all the insults you want there.
Just my 2 cents.
