Looks like I failed to properly articulate my point.
Here's what I mean:
Why suggest going back to other boards to meet people's needs when they abjectly refuse to join us? If they want their needs to be met, let them exert the minimum effort and come here, at which point I'll do everything possible to make them feel welcome. In spite of their claims about the profanity and (non-existent) pornography, there's a perfectly good Celestial Forum that's every bit as clean as the very best forum on MA&D.
To address the specifics of Moksha's post and my response thereunto, if MA&D needs critics to challenge them, the way to solve the problem isn't for beastie, Runtu, and Bond to pander to them by returning there and enduring their abuse; the way to solve the problem is for the MA&Dites to take a modicum of responsibility and come here.
Think of it this way: If a homeless person needs food, I'll do everything in my power to give it to him or her. If, after this, he or she refuses to bring the fork to his or her mouth, insisting that I spoon-feed him or her, . . . that's where my altruism ends.
