Thanks Wyatt,

I'm sure the Consulate staff get to hear a lot of complaints. I am sure they appreciate some recognition for when they do something good as well .

Whether this thread was about the Consulate, the weather, or kittens... coming by simply to rain on someone's parade seems a bit unnecessary to me.

But that is simply my opinion.

And expecting that each and every post in a thread will remain "in the spirit" of which it is intended is a bit unrealistic. Moderating and deleting threads to maintain that is just wrong.

I agree. I guess I just expect too much out of people though.

I have an opinion on virtually everything, but I don't feel the need to wedge my opinion into a thread that clearly has a contrary opinion. That's the mentality that has made Off-Topic such a wasteland. I just find it rude.

I suppose I hoped that if someone had contrary opinions than the first dozen or so in this thread, they would have kept them to his/herself or created a well-thought-out "Open Damning of Montreal's Consulate" thread.

If moderation is the issue, perhaps you should take that to the moderator involved, or the head guy if you find there to be a trend of such action being taken?

Posting here in this manner doesn't stick it to the moderator... it sticks it to the creator of the thread. As I said, I find that rather unnecessary.

Having said all that, if someone does create a damning thread, I'd probably post on that one too, as I do have such an opinion in some ways. That's not what this thread was for, however.

Personally, I had a very poor experience with any and all things Montreal, but I wasnt' going to post that, or anything in this thread for that matter. I did feel the need to post about it first after Charles decided to delete posts, and then wyatt's subsequent whining on the vent thread about it. You can choose to ignore posters like that, or you can indulge them. I dont' think Bowflex was trolling, but he has a valid point, that was on-topic and within the TOS whether you agree with it or not. I have taken the appropriate steps to voice my opposition to this, and hopefully a proper remedy will be seen.
