Membership in the discussion forum is also dependent on adult behavior - not losing it on other members or treating each other like riff raff - i.e. name calling and insults, but instead disagreeing in a civilized fashion so that threads don't get derailed by school yard antics. It is meant to be largely self-moderating and its membership decide if a member is behaving improperly and should be voted out of the group. TBH we want the discussions to be seen, not only by the membership, but by non-members as well. If you don't want to read it, check out the forum name before you click on the post. There is also no reason why you cannot start a parallel discussion on the same topic in one of the regular forums.
In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

Its based on a 75% vote and this forum splits the entire forum down the middle and it delineates the favored sons and relegates others to forum scrubs. Now if thats what your intention is and I believe its probably the intention of a couple then you did the right thing.
So now we have the Elite VIPs and now we have the Elite TPF forum members. So whats the next brainstorm going to be to fragment the forum even more.
If you really have a problem with the way posters post theres other ways to handle it than to insult demean and separate half the forum.
This is my opinion, does it bother me ? no not at all Im just stating how I view it since GRC mentioned it.
Talking about morale, if this isnt a morale busting idea nothing you could come up with is. It certainly doesnt promote forum harmony and cohesion and civility when you split people up and compartment them.
