But like you said above, people are more important than ideas. And in the case of CCC like in the case of the rest of society, the well being of many individuals outweights the well being of one disruptive individuals. It is like having a 15 year old daughter who you want to relate to, but she is more interested in rebeling than she is in communicating. When Chris was abusive to people this last year, the moderators had a LOT of discusions on how to keep the group happy, but at the same time keep Chris around. And quite frankly, we came to the conclusion that Chris does not want to be around, except to snip at people. We have been more tolerant (to many people's annoyance) to Chris than we should have been and still he attacks people (you should go read the posts concerning the recent ICC tournament where he attacked many people there and here for no apparent reason). I think the bottom line comes down to Chris wanting CCC to revolve around his ideas of how it should be and if it isn't, then he is more interested in criticizing it than being a part of it and making it better. If he thinks it is such a "fool's forum", why does he bother to come over and disrupt it? Why even bother? I don't get it and doubt I ever will. KarinsDad :)
