Dismayed to learn on the swansong thread that The King of The Y-Fronts has left, citing (on his own blog)
"...almost daily sniping:
“We want to delete this, that or the other."
If this is the case - and it seems to be - I for one find it rather lowering. Maybe his first drafts are full of bile and obscenity, rightly filtered out, but personally I can remember no Drago posting that's struck me as out of order. He tends to express himself firmly and forcefully - all to the good, IMHO - but I've never seen him post anything that - for me at least - jarred with the basic ethos of 'fun & friendly'.
There's been quite a lot of discussion lately about CC post-migration (La Grande Flounce), quite a lot of it suggesting that CC 'is not what it was - and not in a good way'. I tend to feel more has been lost than gained, but so be it. I don't envy the mods their role - I certainly wouldn't want to do it - but I do wonder what kind of filters are being applied if, as seems to be the case, they are making this an unwelcoming environment for one of the forum's most consistently lively, interesting and entertaining posters. How many Smart Car driving seven foot neanderthals do we (did we?) have?
Or am I only getting one side of the story?
