Disappointed to see this happen but I understand that to move forward and start to attract more posters it needed to be done.
Doesn't Corn have the registration blocked to stop the Russian bots, in which case how are we supposed to attract more posters? The only "new" posters we get are lurkers who finally come out of the shadows, but honestly I don't care if we expand to more than 18. I would probably drop off if there's too much to read.

I can say that I totally ignored their back and forth and 80% of RD's posts, but then I 100% ignore all Mëds posts about EP
I used to skip over Doc's lengthy point by point rebuttals to incredibly minor statements. Who has the time or inclination to read all of that? Whereas I find Blob and RD entertaining for the most part.

Perhaps one solution would be to ask them to Foe each other as a requirement to returning. In hopes it will prevent the baiting posts.
I like this idea. Can the mods see these settings or even adjust them themselves?
Wow, a big loss that will be felt for sure. Shame they couldn’t just leave each other alone, given the alternative is this or arguing about Jim Benning and Mike Gillis until the end of time..
I have to admit...in Chef's defense, it is funny as fuck getting Blob riled up about Benning. It's just so easy and Chef is obviously addicted to yanking on Blobs chain
For the users who no longer post here, or those who have felt the need to block them due to being tired of hearing it or due to being clearly unamused, or for the Mods who have to listen to the complaints about it.
Users here tend to quote reply as a rule of thumb as opposed to quote snip to pertinent topic points.
Also.
The tone or content of the responses becomes aligned with the repetitive back and forth posting being discussed.
Therefore the conversations are generally out in the open blocked user or not....
Guys.
This is not some arbitrary, knee jerk reaction here nor, as I am sure some presume, is it a lever directive (I have zero "directive" powers here)...
The complaints have been going on for a long, long time and there are site users, long time site users, who have taken enough issue by either blocking, lodging complaints, minimizing participation or stopping partaking entirely....
