Come on man, if I had thin skin I wouldn't even be here. Thing is, this ain't the "real world" - it's a privately owned online business forum where the owners/mods can and do implement whatever rules they want. GFY is indeed unique for a business forum in that they allow a pretty huge range of non-business related (and arguably unprofessional) stuff, though when certain lines are crossed they do indeed bring the hammer down quick.
Not really a big deal anyhow, my point was more that when times were good in the biz all the endless shit talking and trolling was kind of funny. Now that times are a little more grim for many it just comes across a little bit pathetic. Again, lotta bitter folks. Maybe I'm in the minority thinking that. Just my opinion, it is what it is....
