Posted by: Rplank at Wed Nov 19 20:46:08 2003 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by Rplank ] If one day you had 50 customers sitting inside your ice cream store, screaming, "Stop using paper cups!" Would you allow them to continue to do so? Valuable clientele or not, they are creating a disturbance in your shop, and the people who are trying to buy ice cream are not able to because of the people yelling and taking up all the space in the shop. Would one solution be to temporarily close down the shop until things calmed down? Yes, I think so. Why would KS let that continue? Isn't the point of a "protest" to get someone to notice, and change something? Well, guess what, they did notice, and they did change something. Very few posts were deleted, and a few big mouth shepherds got all the sheep worked up, and they all followed mindlessly along, thinking it was all a big game. Bye-bye, sheep, your fearless leaders led you to a point where the landowner decided he didn't want that particular flock of sheep or shepherds anymore. KS had little choice but to delete the forum. I doubt it is permenent, but who knows? I'm sure the shepherds will be siccing some more sheep on KS for quite a while, if the forum comes back up. | ||
