I totally agree we should not get personal!
But you have posted a few times your last post included that with all these internet sites hits are all important for advertising revenue and hence the value of the site.
We all know of one very very long thread where abuse of innocent people myself included was allowed and blind eyes were turned from the sites code of conduct obviously to generate site hits and massive hits at that!
This is a Rumor site and rumor has it that the thread was closed down by external legal threats and not what we were told!
So you have probably hit the nail on the head re no advertising is bad advertising and site hits
Personally I think it is a great site with wonderful contributors and moderators just needs a bit of tweaking
