TractorPoint is SO MUCH BETTER than the other board
The words needed to properly describe the censored board have evaded me, but you nailed it Tom. Vanilla. Vanilla conversations by vanilla people. No spice, no flavors, just plain boring vanilla. The hot fudge, whipped cream, nuts, and cherries are missing.

TractorPoint is SO MUCH BETTER than the other board
After hearing lots of complaining about "the other site" I took a look for myself. Its just my point of view but it is hardly as censored as some would have us think. I suppose if you deliberately go out of your way to argue with a moderator it might not be too pleasant but I do not find that to be the case. Just because they do not allow blatently foul language and total flamers I fail to see how that makes a "vanilla" world. There is as much general banter there as here. Instead of the bannana split vs vanilla analagy it would seem more potato vs potatoe to me. i certainly do not see that the grass in greener over there but some members here like to paint the picture of a unjust world on the other side of the fence. Its a bit like speeding down the expressway. You know the speed limit. You know you are breaking the rules and putting your self in peril but you do it any way. I mean after all the guy in front of and behind you is speeding too. Then it happens . You get a ticket and all of a sudden its a cruel and unfair world because jimmy did not get spanked too. I do feel the members here have more knowledge and I am thankfull for the site but flamers and such either shut down a post as no one wants to "step in it" or it leads to unpleasantnes. Balance is a good thing and ideally we can do our own blanceing act.

TractorPoint is SO MUCH BETTER than the other board
I'm entirely interested doing well here and preserving what is happening. Censorship is a general issue with me. This and YTMAG are the only boards I've read at all in years.
I probably had had some vanilla flavoured frustration when I was over there as well but my issue was not with the participants. I don't know how things are elsewhere now but I think we've got it good here and that's what I'm interested in.
Balance is good. Joe Lewis had incredible balance, which is probably why he reigned the longest. Had quick feet too. Nobody ever moved Larry Homes out of the centre. He did it all with the basics (jab and cross) and he reigned a long time. Never lost that fight either according to the pros I watched the fight with.
Oops, I'm lapsing into metaphor again so I'll stop and just say that to me censorship is being out of balance. Or at least it's an artificially imposed balance, which is why it doesn't really work. It's good here and censorship is what we don't have. It's what you get when people expect someone else to do what they should do for themselves.
