I never understood all the angst and acrimony. And I will admit that for a little while there it seemed to me that the moderation on Ice In Space was becoming a tad heavy handed (not that I cared too much myself; hey, it's not my site). OTOH the spam seemed to be getting a bit out of hand too.
Then I went and had a look at the other place. Well, thank god for mods, is all I can say. Frankly, if I was Mike I'd be grateful that someone has gone to the bother of setting up a public urinal off-site where aggrieved patrons can write their obscene graffiti. And if ever I feel the desire for some crotch-stretching, beer-swilling, spitoon-filling fun, then I guess I know where to go. In the meantime I think I'll stick with a forum that's got something to do with astronomy.
Thanks Mike and the mods.
Keep up the good work!
