I have to like the companies I do business with, and forums are making it really hard. That's why I hope that for the good of their reputation they close down the Forums.

The forums are unethical and bad business.

Here I couldn't say it any better then this.....

Why would MS put themselves in the position to have to censor, babysit, and be judge and jury over the words their customers. Please, a forum is asking for trouble. AND after months of increase banning and hiney spankings of their customers if they can't see that I am appalled. All it is doing is giving the company and it's leaders a black eye. The company hosting a forum are such a bad idea, specially when it comes to pr for MS. They will never be able to give out a enough whoopins to get Americans and many other, who are way way to use to the freedom of speech to drop it at the door because they have walked into a semi private setting. So, I can only predict the trouble will stay on it's current course. MS can write and rewrite the rules trying to tame the beast but it can't be done.

I care about MS and hoping the company is the smart , fair and ethical company I believed them to be in the beginning. The same company who elected to not host "sales" forums for the same reason they should of connected to all forums.

The last week has been a turning point in my relationship with them. I know that the griefers cause MS stress, and because of that great stress I would make concessions for their behaviors. But, I also believe that nothing reveals character more than when it is under stress.

I know many would say just don't go on the forums. I reply, and "What miss all the information?". Come one, you all know that the leaders on MS give vital information out into the forums that never see the light of blog. Also, again I have to respect the companies I do business with and even off the forums,the stench of what happens on here blows into SL.

I really hope they meant the last one. Cause I don't know, and even after reading the rules, Maybe my understanding of them are wrong, being how comprehension and interpretation"s could vary greatly. Besides the rules, I use what I see what is going on to help be a "tell" of what is acceptable. We all do this its why this, it is what makes a taboo, you know something that is an unsaid law. Or called "when in Rome" .

Agree or don't agree. I am not posting this as an idea to be debated. This is just my opinion directed to MS in the way I know to work the best. This is the mirror and my words written in lipstick. I'm hoping it don't end up to be a Dear John letter. Maybe this time John will get it.
