Ever wonder why 2+2 is going downhill?

I think you would have a case if you had presented a detailed argument and received simple one-line responses. Given that you didn't bother to explain your thinking, I don't see how you can expect elaborate replies.

I have tried to make long posts where I put effort into them. Usually I get at least one good response and sometimes several good responses. I have, from time to time, received no serious replies. But that's life.

There's still a lot of good stuff on 2+2. There's also a lot of nonsense as well. Ultimately, it's up to you to decide whether there's enough of value here to make it worthwhile to sift through the junky stuff.

Don't worry about whether this forum is going downhill. I have seen it much worse on another poker forum, so much so I don't post at that site anymore. Nearly every post seemed to be filled with hate or degrading remarks devoid of any real value. This forum is nowhere near that point. Most likely people are just in a bad mood and need to cool off.

maybe I misunderstood what the purpose of moderators is. I didn't think it was to be the guys who made the best posts - I thought it was people who would delete useless/wrong forum posts, and generally kept people on topic.

they are just volunteers, and you really shouldn't expect anything from them except keeping the forums 'clean'

If I was a moderator I would use New Pine Scented Lysol TM.

[whodaman]

That's exactly what happened, and I don't understand how dogmeat thinks he's the better man in this situation.

1. dogmeat makes a short reply with no substance.

2. Evan makes a short reply to dogmeat with no substance.

3. This is totally unacceptable to dogmeat because Evan is a moderator, and so dogmeat gets pissy and completely and hypocritically flips out on Evan.

4. Evan says "chill" and explains why his reply lacked substance.

5. dogmeat decides to make a thread about the time when he over-reacted to Evan making a reply which lacked substance to dogmeat's reply which lacked substance.

6. The rest of us look hard for a difference between the two replies that would somehow make Evan a better candidate for the cause of the demise of these forums, but we fail miserably.

The guy sees something we don't. I guess you gotta give him that.

Evan is actually getting better...he hasn't posted his
picture with the big pile of white chips in awhile...
Sthief is posting again-so is CMI sometimes, and even
sfer is far less toolish than a year ago today!

Hell, even I post serious replies now and then too.
