He just needs to learn to be more accepting and polite about other people's opinions perhaps.

BRGuy has, in the past, posted direct messages for public consumption.

I won't go into details, and I won't question the moderation, but I think (oops, deleted).

Why in the world is this an issue?
the mods are fine they are doing their jobs.
Questioning the mods really is unnecessary and no offense kinda stupid.

BRG is a high school kid. I'm slapped his wrist many times. I can't speak for the other mods and their banning, I just take care of Indiana.

And just so you know, calling out a mod is against the TOS.

If this is true, then it gives some perspective on the posters credibility. Not saying a younger poster doesn't have credibility, but does not have the experience of older posters. Thus the broader viewpoint of posters who have been around longer, experienced more, traveled more, earned full time salaries, payed mortgages and taxes might have more credibility. I do appreciate the enthusiasm and loyalty BRG has. I do now really question the validity of tax and cost of living arguments wondering how much is first hand, writing the checks real life experience and how much is just "book" knowledge or second hand knowledge or even just hearsay.
