Ok, prove it. I haven't seen anywhere near as much flaming on Rennlist OT as there was before the change. I dare you to try and find stuff such as divorce proceedings and the like posted at Rennlist after the change. While you're at it, try to also find things such as members berating other members over their deceased daughters, or people making overtly racist statements (george) such as "The only good Muslim is a dead one." You won't find it at Rennlist anymore, and the board over there is much better off without that nonsense. Before you accuse me of being anti-Pelican, keep in mind that I have 1000+ posts here at Pelican, versus 400 or so at Rennlist. Pelican remains a huge source of info, and I agree that much of the content is more technical than Rennlist.
I clearly said your personal flame wars are specific to those you mentioned. By generalizing 'still going on' how about 8 pages of this.

second or third post it gets nasty.

I did not even pull up the Sandy Berger thread where things got ugly. Or how about some of the gay threads?

Flaming is flaming, Biggotry is biggotry and insults are what they are whether aimed at muslims, gays, republicans, democrats, liberals etc....

Members still there had a fight over avatars with certain moderators, I just did a search and much of it was edited or deleted.

What I am saying is, the personal attacks, name calling and f-bombing of people is still going on, and it appears it will soon go on here. I have no beef with you and do more reading than posting at either site. I think it has gotten better for you because you are insulted by the anti muslim racist posts. Just know the same type of thing is still going on and George and Carlos are no longer there. It's just tolerated for some members.

As for the divorce preceedings, it was brought up and posted by someone from that same rennlist crowd. Anyway, it is not any better over there now. Maybe in time that will change with the new restrictions. Like I said, I go there to read since posting there always turns into that. Hopefully it don't start here. OOps to late.
