No. We don't care about radio. Radio is a separate thing. Radio has a moderator. The forum does not. Radio's success or failure is independent of the forum. The relationship between radio and the forum is at best strained. Listen for that almost inaudible sigh when a forum caller is announced. It's there.
Consider the regular radio population. Do you see any of them posting here with any regularity? Are they doing the work? You gonna rely on them to keep the literary lights on?
No. If you want to have a microphone apparently you distance yourself from the forum - if only to keep up appearances. Talk about a guy who actually did build a wall.
Todd describes the forum as a free speech site. That does not mean we are free to speak without impunity.
Understand this. This would be Druff's Twitter account without the made guys. Guys who have been here for years. Guys who suffered and delivered hazing. The survivors were there at the beginning, who know things that you don't know. They know what works.
PFA is the house that they built. You and I are just uninvited guests who stumbled onto their doorstep and forced our way into their conversation. If they ask you to use a coaster under your drink - you apologize and honor their request.
When Sonatine, Lew, BnP, JackDaniels, etc ask us to take a corner - it merits the consideration and a little reflection as to your worth to them.
Druff basically refuses to moderate this site. This site has succeeded despite that. You have them to thank.
I took my beatings. I am a quicker study than you. It didn't take but a few days to figure out what this place is about. I have strayed. I have since been told to check my action both online and privately. I think I have toed the line.
If I have to take a bullet for you and them I will.
Two big blinds? This isn't a reward or a bribe. We are not paying you to sit out. Maybe that's an idea - but I digress.
It's a challenge. It's supposed to cause pain. Sonatine has posted the notion that this place may not be good for you. A little abstinence wouldn't kill either of us. See if someone besides Lurker reappears if things have a different tone.
