As far as buying you out of your site, open up the books and we'll see. Does that sound ridiculous? So does asking me to leave for no reason other than finding my opinion of your actions unwelcome.
That's the thing I don't get here... You have made only 3 posts in this thread - in THIS thread! - and the one issue you choose to attack is the site moderation?

How much would it cost to buy the site? You can stay or leave at any volume you choose after the transaction is complete.

Very few things are as annoying as someone who hasn't paid for anything, complaining to a business about what they're receiving for free at the hard work of others and volunteers.

Some people are incredibly entitled.

Sounds like twitter should be your website of choice. Lots of b1tching and crying over nothing on there. You'd fit right in.

I see some of us have very different definitions of complaining, crying and bitching.

Last I checked making a post that is on topic to the discussion being had is none of those things.

That’s just me though. Maybe I have a different definition than some others as to what the purpose is of a message board and what a discussion is.

I think it was funny the last agruements have been about taking cattle/ horse butt worm medication to treat covid. So it is used in humans at times.

It has come to this ... I never thought the pandemic would come down to taking a free effective vaccine specifically for Covid or take meds that solve ass worms . ...

I knew it brought the crazies out but it keeps getting 1 upped...

jammies offered some constructive criticism. Bingo's reaction to it was childish in my opinion. Now the piling on is embarrassing.

I'm loving the "It's free gtfo if you don't like it!" brigade when someone suggests moderating of disinformation about a ####ing pandemic. I mean take a step back from yourselves and realize how embarrassing that is. What a sad appeal to the most minute level of authority.

Ya man. Because CP IS the authority where the world comes to discuss COVID. Like if this is the center of the disinformation in the universe and you think THIS is the biggest issue we should be discussing, we are all in trouble. I mean take a step back from yourself and realize how embarassing that is. What a sad appeal to all the right fighting, high horse riders.

I'm pretty sure there's some middle ground between trying to not let people post the stuff on your site and trying to be an authority for the world on the subject. It's not as comically polar as you suggest.
