Randy, myself, DennisF and many more have to refused to post anymore until this dink leaves. He curses, swears, shoots hateful accusations around like nothing. But it is your choice. I will not give you an option where both of us can stay. I personally do not give a rat's ass if I am banned. But I will not stand here and listen to this dink anymore calling Dennis F, Cyndy, Brandal insulting names. It is not his message, but the way it is delivered.

By the way Dr. Fauste and I are not culprits. We just are disgusted by all of Prenderghast's posts which are filed with hatred and insults. Would you not ban Hitler from this forum?! Why should the forum be in jeopardly of losing decent contributors by allowing posters like Prenderghast to spread hatred vile comments? When Dmitri returns I hope he does the right thing.

There's many other forums on this site as well as 500+ pages of useful information. If someone being too offensive or talking about something you don't agree with makes you consider not using this site at all, well... ok...

I have read most all post here what perderghast wrote, and many others who use offensive threats, bad language, very offending words. When you created the unmoderated forum I think it was a mistake that allowed abuse of this web site, and it has spilled over into other forums. When I registered on waytorussia I read the rules and had to click on them to accept those rules you made for this site. Now I wonder why you even made these rules if you are not going to enforce them. Yes, there is 500+ more pages of useful info, but everyone enjoys reading from others who have been to Russia, or has an interest in Russia without the threats, and bad language. What you said in your reply says it all. You don't care about the ones who sincerly try to help others, want to learn, who are offended by the bad post, and choose to not use this site because of that shows bad judgement on your part. Being the administrator of this site you are responsible to enforce your rules, this is not a democratic decision to be voted on, it is part of running a web site with professionalism. But maybe you are suffering from burn out......There are some questions I have about Russia, and travel in your country, but now I ask myself if I would get a honest reply or would someone would critize me because of my nationality, cultural beliefs, religious beliefs,or the color of my skin. You can choose to not enforce your rules and I believe you will loose some very good intelligent people who would like to use your web site, or you can choose to enforce your rules and be rid of the ones who give this site a bad rep. The other 500+ pages of info do not really mean anything if the message board is an example of the administrative skills of this site. {Come on, people.

Slavnori, It's only opinionated people who usually get offended by irrelevant posts. For me, being opinionated is different from being intelligent, so I don't think that WayToRussia is going to lose "intelligent people". If you don't like the posts in Unmoderated Forum, just don't read it. We'll try to keep other sections free from any offence, etc. If you ask your question and somebody offends you instead of helping you out, please, let me know, and I'll deal with it. Also, it's not possible (technically) to ban anybody from using this forum or to keep them away, as you suggest. Besides, these people might have the same ideas about you, for example, and I can't take the side of any specific party in this argument. So, my advice is to take it easy...

I was against the unmoderated forum from the beginning and even more so now. I really liked the people on this forum, but the loss of Randy, Anathema, and Dennis F. I made a point about a week ago that I can get a shit fight with anyone, but I choose not too. I guess you have made your decision. I will see you in Moscow or Calgary. I still consider you a great man and I will proud to have drinks with you in Moscow/Calgary. I guess this means DR Fauste is now gone Thanks everyone , Suddevostdem, Poka.

I was thinking about doing it since a long time and will now try to do so, if the board allows I think hiding is not good, it's like hiding a bottle of vodka from an alcoholic -- he will find it anyway and those who don't need it, won't gain anything anyway.
