With Randy being a black person far out on one end of the political spectrum and you being a black person with much different political positions from him in general, it meant there was never a chance he'd like you despite you being an intelligent poster. Odd as it may sound, I really do think his hatred of you is more intense because you're a fellow black person with far different views as if that is evil or something! A sad but true litmus test there to be a member of the "club". I think another reason he treats you disrespectfully is because you're half his age. So, he treats you as an ignorant kid.
The admins and most mods there treat their BB as if it were some great privilege to be a member of as opposed to respecting its members' contributions as being vital to a quality BB. It is much worse for those with opposing political views though I'm not just talking about the political forum. I think one of the problems is that it got too big making them think they're invincible and way better than anything else.
Contrast Randy and company over there with storm5, sd, Dustin, Shawn, whatalife, Forsyth, metwannabe, and the other staff here. Like night and day!
Yeah, after being five-posted from the political board for a misunderstanding I'm starting to really like this community more and more, it has a really tight-knit feel and I hope this site becomes prosperous in the future but not too big to where it's overwhelming.
