He genuinely believes that free speech is something that needs to be eliminated. He doesn't really see those abuses that have been talked about here as abuses - he sees them as his right as the owner of WUS. Read the rules - WUS is his property - period. Pax, you hit the nail on the head. The German types over there are precisely of that mindset. Its just very much their way of the highway. The real problem is that fundamentally they are right - it is Ernie's forum and he does own it. The main problem I have is that they want traffic, encourage participation, all to make money (recall that this is Ernie's business) but don't have any respect for others. I post to the Affordables forum because so far I have had no problems with my posts there being altered or negatively commented on. My own problems were with Mike and Ernie directly. Basically I said that the Germans were acting as elitist snobs in typical Germanic fashion and was told I was a racist and that such comments would not be tolerated. The ironic thing was I was commenting on their "racism" toward Asian watches generally and Seiko and other Japanese watches!?! You see, its ok to slam Chinese watches and Asian watches with terms like "crap", "Cheap", and other slams but its not ok to call the GERMANS on their elitism or their stupidity. It all makes perfect sense when you realize that GERMANS ARE BETTER!
