Very well put! However, it's too Long drawn out, at the end of your rant should be a clear point by point code, that clearly defines what the Core principles are that you have made reference to , Without all the extra. No one or very few people will ever bother to read all of what you've said let alone retain it.
And on another plane be careful not to be hypercritical of the principles that you lay out. As Owner, Founder, CEO, Web Master, Clean up Woman, Chief Cook, Bottle Washer and Watchdog you have all the in inalienable rights to do as you please in here. Again, However once you start taking people’s money you cannot in good conscience use your position as a bully over the site. If chose to censor or censure a paying member their money should be refunded or clearly stated in the core that it will be forfeited otherwise you are taking people’s money and doing as you please. Furthermore as in membership and post over the years I’ve seen you come real close to crossing the line. In dolling out disipline. I know full well whatever you chose to do here will always be up to you I am only suggesting what should be done. Since you are stating principles, have principles.
this is UPTOWNE baby!
