[QUOTE="El Mahdi, post: 5232685, member: 59506"] Sorry. The post was too long so I didn't read it all...:p (just kidding). I didn't read the post/thread that initiated this, but I think that as long as the person posting that they think a post is too long or inappropriate is not being mean, rude, or otherwise a jerk, I really don't see the problem with it. If the poster or others reply that they don't agree, well then you've said your peice and that should be the end of it. I don't think the poster or others have a right to tell the commentor that they had no place saying a post was too long or inappropriate though. Just politely disagree and move on. If everyone remains polite and courteous about it, I don't see any problem. I don't agree with this so much. The forums are a common area, not owned by anyone here except Morrus. I don't think it can be equated to going to someones house. I don't think that someone simply stating that they think a post is too long or inappropriate is rude in and of itself. If the way in which it's said is rude, then that's another story entirely. This situation sounds more like telling someone in a public space (restaurant, food mall, park, etc.) that they are being too loud or disruptive. I don't have a problem with that as long as it remains civil and respectful. I've fallen prey to this myself, but perhaps there's too much of a sense of ownership at play here. None of us are owners here. Even community supporters. We've paid for the privilege of some extra access, but we are all just visitors here, and should comport ourselves as such. Trust me, I've learned this one the hard way. Just my $0.02.:cool: [/QUOTE]
