[DMCForum] Re: This forum vs. Real Life

["Josh Porter" <joshp1986@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree. The problem that we have here is that there are people with 
opinions and they're right. Where there are people there are going 
to be arguements. We could make it better by knowing when to end so 
we don't turn into the DML. Moderators is a good name for 
babysitter. If you ever noticed I have posted to the DML like 5 
times as far as I can remember.
