TOS for this site, were created and/or endorsed by the owner. Moderators and administrators have come and gone over the years. If a person stops by my property, and chooses not to follow my rules, it seems that I ought to have the right to ask that person to leave. No need for 1, 2, or 10 warnings required. For me it’s quite simple, FO and don’t come back.

Hello; I did and do get your point. That the owner and in turn his/her minions can run a private business their own way was not really the issues during the troubles. The pretense of "fair play" was grating. The making of rules which were not evenly applied and the like.
I suspect, but do not actually know, there are benefits of large active memberships for such sites. If this is not the case and the expense is an out of pocket cost for the owner your point is even more valid.

I do not and still do not endorse vulgar language and such types of uncivil posts. The site should not be a fee for all to be rude and vulgar. However, such was not all that was happening. Some points of view were punished even when presented civilly. Other viewpoints were allowed to continue even when crossing civility lines. Perhaps all or most of that is behind the site.

Hello; Ran across an interesting and disturbing incident back on Oct 1st. I forgot about it being the 1st and stopped by the local Wal-Mart. In the foyer was an obese man. He was sweating profusely and struggling to catch his breath. Had a shoulder bag with oxygen tubes going to his nose. I thought it was a unique situation so i reported his situation to the door greeter. The greeter is someone I have come to know the last few years. I stop and speak with her often.
Turns out this is a common thing on the 1st each month.
The big store has 15 electric carts for customers. On the 1st they are in demand. That guy and others are out of luck finding an electric cart at the entrance. Seems the play is to cruise the lot and grab a cart in the parking lot.
