I can't recall saying anythig of color against ron our any particuliar board member as many of us did not I don't recall calling Dylan anything either, I realize the forum belongs to the paper but what happened to freedom of speach and freedom of the press. Did Ron retain another lawyer forcing boone papers to do this?

Well, Dylan has proven himself to be disingenuous, so it wouldn't surprise me if he was, in fact, pressured to pull the plug by Gabes point man and attorney who silenced the fairness committee.

Sorry, but I'm not following this at all, explain! What does Gabes attorney have to do with Belden or the forum being shut down? Belden isnt involved in anyhting, no one from their side ever posted anything. I dont understand this post, not trying to be a smartass, it just seemed to have started somewhere in the middle of the story.

Well this is probably what happened.
RG-- God D@mn those insulant fools who do they think they are question me and making fun of me
RG's Lawyer -- We could pressure the Editor of the Trib, that his forum is breeding hatred and malcontent, maybe even to the point of sedition (insert Dr Evil laugh) MUAHAHA MUAHAHA MUAHAHAHA
RG -- (In Mr Burns voice) Excellent (while taping fingers together), now we will so who is god..
So apparently they got to him and said that our opinions of anything related, my be considered libel.

This morning, the Tribune Forum site message has changed. "Due to abuses by members, the Forum is offline indefinitely. Sorry."

Looks like the Tribune forum is going to be closed for awhile.
I wonder what abuses he is talking about? If that was the real reason for turning off the board why didn't he ban the members that were abusing the board instead of shutting down the whole board

Give me a break!!! I had to see it for myself, so I did. Is he trying to play some twisted game? Seems to me he's mad because there is somewhere for us to go and he can't be "the boss." acting like a 2 year old if you ask me!! If we all can't get along then nobody gets to play. [I]

Its not abuse of the board, its abuse of Belden, thats all it was turning into, and rightly so, he asked for it. Take Belden away and you get no problem in the forum. Is there a problem here with the very same people? If nothing else, in the words of Behling, maybe Belden pushed us all into our rage against him, its Beldens fault. Isnt that their own logic?

I really didn't have an opinion either way about Beldan before all this, but I'm starting to now. He should have stayed out of that forum and let things be. He's the one that came in and "stirred the pot". VERY unprofessional and childish way to handle HIS issues - in my opinion.
Abuse of "power", seems quite of few people in the public spotlight around here have a hard time controlling themselves.

Very good point Nattiejean. No disrespect meant here Minnow, but look at Minnow, he bothered the hell out of Belden, and maybe a few posters, but he reminds me a lot of Bob Knight, listen to what he says, not how he says it. If he calls you an jerk, dont listen to it, but ask yourself why he called you an jerk. LOL. My point is, the forum takes care of its self. The discussion gets heated at times, maybe even out of line, but people speak their mind, get it off their chest and then cool down. The one factor in the Tribune forum that made it nasty latley, was him. He had more people on his ass than Minnow could ever dream of.
