Toyz and gang are running around quite freely insinuating that ***** ******* is having some sort of melt down and needs medical attention.
People have complained for a long time about rules being unfairly applied when they really did not understand those rules and why some people couldn't be held accountable in the manner they believed they should. Now these same people are way across the line themselves....

As is usually the case, a post typically can be read at more than one level.
Given the nature of this forum the past little while I read the OP I. A bit broader context (as I am often want to do). I read it as, in an only slightly generalized way, a complaint that two individuals are undermining the value/credibility of the board. While I understand the OP's point, my reply was that the usefulness and credibility is being trashed by a clear uncivil war among two sides, yet the OP only condemns one of those sides. And oddly, the side that has made far fewerr pablumizing posts.
While I agree that the one side is stepping across the delineated bounds more often, I believe the other side--exemplified by SL's spam attacks--is equally detrimental to the usefulness of this forum. Probably more so.
Thus my generalization from the OP's rather narrow statement to a broader commentary on the lawless gun toting world that is the Austin forum.
