Unfortunately,
This ain't the SC2000 forum. It does happen to be the Autodesk Software Forum,
and any decisions concering the maintenance of the message base and/or the
libraries are made with that criteria in mind.
We did establish a separate section for the SC2000 project, and we did
encourage it. But there is no way we are going to jeopardize the integrety of
this forum for the questionable wants and needs of one or two members who don't
wish to keep this in mind. When a member becomes a disruptive force within a
forum, steps need to be taken to separate the forum in general from this
disruptive influence. Disregarding any such disruptive influence will, in the
long run, bode ill on any forum on any information service available. We took
those steps, and they started early on. Our recommendations were ignored,
actually flaunted and thrown back into our faces. So we have taken additional
steps.
If this situation continues we will have only two choices left to maintain some
sort of control over it and keep the forum on track as a support forum. The
first of these is to take actions directly against the disruptive influence and
remove it from the forum. And the second is to cancel the section devoted to
SC2000 and remove our support for the project.
Bearing in mind that CIS forums are not covered by the First, Fourth,
Fourteenth or any other admendment to the Constitution, nor do any
Constitutional Rights apply, no one had the god given right to create havoc in
any forum on any information service. And since this disruptive influence is
affecting the entire forum presently (and we all know of which I speak), which
of these two actions would you like to see us take ???
