Those of you will then pose the question, why? And I will then reply with, well then give some reasons as to why a yes would be beneficial or why you support a no.

First of all, no one is obligated to answer your question. Just like when the police want to ask you questions. They are usually stupid questions just to get a person talking so they can direct the conversation.

For many reasons the question is stupid! It is also stupid for you to assume that it needs to discussed. There are better ways to find something entertaining. A discussion of this type is not entertaining.

First of all the question was not stupid.

Secondly they tell you to post entertaining, thought-provoking, and or hobby related posts. This definitely falls under that criteria.

If you really did not like his question you just did not have to comment at all instead of being so mean to him

I think his true intention is trying to figure out a way to make this website be as good as what it used to be
that was the point of his question
and premium access was a way he thought that would work but it won't because that leaves no incentives to write reviews

The point was to embarrass him by calling attention to how he had not thought this out. The problem with his question is that many people today, especially in politics, think they can say anything they want, at any time they want. They believe, like you, that no one is entitled to point our their errors. Let's make up some stuff, and throw it out there because no one will challenge this nonsense.

No you don't, and you know it. You just want, like him, to make stuff up.

that was the point of his question

"but it won't because that leaves no incentives to write reviews".

Now you have it thought out, at the end of your comments.

Hell No. This board is a business. Earn it or Pay for it.

Sienna91 · 03-22-2020, 08:00 PM

this is what you're not understanding just because I didn't agree with him about having it free does it mean I was going to be rude about
which you are most certainly being

there's a way to disagree and get your point across without being rude which is what you did

He posted a question and wanted response obviously not everybody agrees with us or there would be one hundred percent nos it's almost half and half at this point

Sienna91 · 03-22-2020, 08:03 PM

and being an adult why would you embarrass someone for asking a question when he literally posted it just to get different viewpoints and understand people's reasoning grow the hell up

Sienna91 · 03-22-2020, 08:05 PM

I have no idea why people think they can sit behind a screen and be rude to people all day long .

All you had to do was give the reasons why you disagree and leave it at that instead of making it your point to try to embarrass someone when given his poll results there is no landslide so apparently some people don't agree

I hope this answers your question basically it would just be bad for business

I completely understand Alyssa; thank you for the input.

I’ve reached a point in my life where I just put the JRs of the world on mute.

Thank you Sienna for participating and being a class act.

Fizley · 03-22-2020, 11:17 PM

I'm surprised the limited participation and how close the vote is.

I voted No. ECCIE has operated as a semi open community. Hobbiests wrote reviews knowing the Rest of the Story" was hidden and suddenly we are to open the "Roos" up so everyone can see them? That is not fair.

ATF Hobby · 03-23-2020, 07:05 AM

Vote is close but then again only 27 have answered.

Appreciate mostly everyone's feedback.

please ignore him he is doing the same thing to me on another post he does not like it when people take up for people I really appreciated this post because I've actually thought about this in the past but after doing my research I realized why it shouldn't be free

Sienna91 · 03-23-2020, 08:02 AM

He is completely rude and literally thinks he can talk to women any type of way and apparently men as well.

Used scare tactics to try to get you to bow down to whatever he wants

he doesn't realize some people don't care to be disrespected
