I cannot make assumptions as to the intelligence of anyone here or there. I can say that Ive had thought provoking and inciteful conversations with members of both boards on multiple occasions. I enjoy the interactions I have and the conversations I have with members in both locations.
While I may not agree with every aspect of how Gooch and Hottie run their board, I also dont agree with EVERY aspect of how any board Im on is run. There is always room for improvement. But I respect how Gooch and Hottie want to run their board. It is theirs to run as they wish. But they do listen to and respect my input on matters. We agree on the majority of the issues that come up.
For the record, they never ENCOURAGED our users to travel abroad and make nuisances of themselves. That idea originated with the members, with myself contributing, and basically got a "That would be funny" from the management. They never asked or told anyone to do it. That is another case of something being misconstrued by those who would like to keep the animosity brewing between the boards.
I dont prefer any one thing Galt. My desires are fleeting and my interests change on a minute by minute basis. I do not enjoy any one board more than any other, as I said. If I did, I would concentrate my efforts on one board. Where I post all depends on the mood Im in and the interaction I am desiring at that moment in time. There was only one board that had all the elements I enjoyed in a message board, and that was YMB through the first half of last year. Once things started to change there, EVEN BEFORE HOTTIE CAME TO ME WITH BOREDPLANET, I lost interest in posting. Now I just bounce around and babble.
All in all, I like my current situation.
