Despite the cries of "they need our help", I don't feel compelled at all. It's not that hard to get food. Millenia before our ancestors discovered fire, they managed to eat.

When being called out to explain what he meant he just said that he was not going to get into a "pissing contest"

Now, this is not a flame thread, but I want to see what others here think. I find that statement to be very controversial and do not understand how the reasoning behind it goes.
Dynasty is a respected poster, and more important, a moderator. In my book that means he should be held to a high standard, and refusing to answer legitimate questions are not acceptable.

Maybe other disagree with me?

Well, ok... Dynasty is a respected poster on 2+2. Maybe not in OTP, at least not by all.

This post sucks.

[Il_Mostro]

Explain please

[DBowling]

it's an internet forum.

you are being overly sensitive.

[Il_Mostro]

So that means that anyone can say anything, without having to back it up?
Why do you want the forum to be like that?

[partygirluk]

He stated an opinion, he doesn't have to back that up, moderator or not.

[Il_Mostro]

Well, obviously I disagree. I don't see it as an opinion, I see it as a statement of fact. And as such I would like to see the reasoning behind it.
