Like Lee, we also operate a multi van setup, and I must say that I do enjoy reading his posts, as an experienced operator, I cannot find fault with anything I have read in his posts/advice.He should not have to endure any form of harasament from what can only be best described as keyboard warriors. The purpose of these forums, surely should be for the sharing of positive information between like minded individuals and in doing so, create a learning trail for newcomers to the trade, who come here seeking advice.I have looked on with amusement as threads have been hijacked and filled with diatribe by individuals with a clear lack of any business acumen or real experience.I agree with another poster that this type of behaviour can be off putting to more experienced members who simply cannot be bothered with the drama, this is a loss to the community.Lee is spot on when he says that he should be able to ban/block nay sayers from his threads,he is also on the money when he says that moderators should probably do a bit more moderating.
Any forum on any topic will have it fair share of participants, who just like the sound of their own voice this is fair enough, but when an informative post is closed due to their actions, it's time to have a re-think.
I wonder what these keyboard warriors would have to say if they were stood in front of you looking eye to eye, that is if you could get them to look you in the eye and not your shoulder, chest, knees, boots, the sky etc.
