Couldn't agree with you more here, kjbrill. The UrbanOhio forum possesses a cadre of little prima donnas who are knowledgeable in specific subjects, but lacking in self-awareness. For example, their endless blather concerning who did what/when/why on their "Trayvon Martin" thread has been both hilarious and tiring; they have all gone over the same information, ad infinitum. ZZ-ZZZ-Z-ZZZ-Z...

I'll bite..

What is "urbanohio"? A separate message board?? or another forum somewhere on CD? I'm pretty narrow in my focus, so I don't look around too much at things that aren't of specific interest (such as - Ohio as a whole).

It's a really well done site, with lot's of pics of various cities around Ohio. It's their forum boards that suck. Actually, a lot of the posters have good info, it's some of the moderators that are really immature.

"UrbanOhio" is a separate forum entirely, Briolat21. Please don't let my comment from above deter you from joining them--the forum is inhabited by many knowledgeable and educated posters who both love Ohio and cherish urbanity. Let's just say: "when they're good, they're exceptional and when they're bad they're...exceptional too."

That's a great way to put it.

I think they have a herd mentality going over there. Any opposing points of view (be they good, bad or indifferent) are attacked immediately. Not to mention the mods will jump on board as well.

Another reason for not injecting the Trayvor Martin controversy into this thread is because, here in Cincinnati, we have already weathered the April, 2001 Timothy Thomas shooting, which shared so many of the earmarks of the present killing. Thus, in a very real sense, that particular tragic, explosive local event served as our very own "Racial Litmus Test." The recent Florida affair is little more than deja-vu--an "instant replay" that should be played out anywhere but here!

So let's see how long til this thread gets deleted. One thing I've found over here is there not big fans of talking about other forums, sites, etc.

I couldn't agree with you more, TomJones123! As for myself, I still do enjoy UrbanOhio--but not nearly as much as I first did several years ago. Like you, I've sadly found out that any dissenting opinion is jumped on immediately (almost like a swarm of bees!) Say just one wrong thing and you're instantly chastised and shot into outer darkness. And, yes, one or more of their moderators are notorious control freaks...

You're probably right--but may I also reemphasize that if all this goes, Trayvor Martin material should go too (for obvious reason).
