I have to wonder how many people are disagreeing with this purely as a knee-jerk reaction because Rokien suggested it, but otherwise wouldn't care either way, or would actually agree with it.
There are some very emotionally charged people around here who get themselves entirely too wound up over what other people think or suggest. When the very act of someone posting a thread drives someone to get as angry as some of you do, maybe it would be better for you to just not read the thread, much less post in it? I have never understood that. If I see a post with a subject that don't interest me, or I see it's by someone I can't stand or who I know usually just trolls forums, I simply ignore that thread and move on to another one that does interest me. It would be just as childish and pointless for me to go into the thread and start posting "zomg you again! GTFO! Stop posting! Shut up already!".
Rokien has as much right to post what he wants here as everyone else. Everyone has the right to choose whether they want to read the thread and response to it or not. It's a hell of a lot more constructive than others posting just to tell him to shut up. Who's the troll here, exactly?
Those of you who are telling him to shut up and go away, etc. are the ones who are out of line. However much you disagree with him, don't like him or his suggestions or opinions, he is doing nothing wrong in voicing them. I'm pretty sure the moderators would have the final say on that in any case. They *can* lock threads when they get out of hand, after all. So far this one has persisted. That should tell you all you need to know.
Don't like the music? Change the station.
Don't like the post, or the poster? Skip the thread. It's so incredibly easy to do.
I also don't know if anyone noticed, but the OP has over 120 "agrees" as of the time I'm posting this. So, it's apparently a more popular "want" than some here would like to believe, regardless of who started the thread.
