This entire thing has nothing at all to do with Dave and any one person on this forum.
It has to do with the general lack of respect by almost everyone who posts on this forum on a regular basis. You don't see this noise in any other forum here, except this one.
It has to do with the silly pecking order and all of that.
It has to do with poor manners by almost everyone.
It has to do with those from IP who have brought their lousy attitudes over here and post as if they are within their "private" forum.
It has to do with a lack of professionalism by almost everyone. The longer you have been here the more you are to blame for the lousy attitude within this forum.
It has to do with clickerguy and maybe he just made enough of a stink to bring this to a head.
It has to do with forum moderation by the owner. This is a remote control CI forum. It is not for idle nonsence and it is not for being a poor example when a DIY wanders in here.
It is not for discussions about every other type of equipment, systems, security systems, amp/preamps, wiring or anything that does not involve a remote control, including "what-did-I do-today", including pissing and moaning about the customer you had today, etc.
