Way off topic, but relevant here.
Mods here are SUPER tolerant, at least when compared to other boards I've been on and been admin/MOD on. To each their own. That said, running a board isn't free. It takes start up money and usually money to keep going initially. We don't have paid members here and many boards do to offset the cost. Then there's the spammers to ban, boards that crash and ungrateful old fogies with nothing else to do texting you at 2 am because they can't view a thread with nekkid ladies when they get up at 8 am EST, etc.
I view 2a as a community more than a forum/board. I've met many members and have met the MODs. They are pretty cool guys. Well, except for that irritating tourettes guy. . .

But I do see many on this board who say stuff that they PROBABLY wouldn't say to folks in person. I say probably because I dunno for sure. They might say those things in person. Hell, sometimes I think some on here are the same person posting as different screen names just for kicks, are bored, like the attention, whatever. Anyways, yeah, I can be a wiseass or even asshole at times here, but I tend to believe that one day, I'll meet many on this board.
Anyways, carry on. Resume the regularly recorded bickering. . .
