...and for others...less is less. Why place restrictions on others based on your desires? Why not allow everyone to enjoy the forum as they see fit?

As far as dominating discussions...someone else posting (often or rarely) does not prevent your offering your own opinion/posting. There is not a fixed number of posts allowed...there is room for everyone to post their ideas/opinions...and "sell" them as they like. Whether or not they are deemed valid or embraced has more due to the validity of the argument than anything else. That determines which ideas dominate a discussion. Campaigning to silence the ideas/opinions of those that disagree does not seem a real solution (as eventually someone will decide to silence you). Our founding fathers were very prescient regarding freedom of speech/expression.
