Are private messages here REALLY private?

Yeah, it's a privately owned site that makes it's money off the users. So the way I look at it, TBN works for us and if we don't like some of the policies, we can leave at any time.

Like with radio and television, we are the product for sale, not the customers.

The folks paying money to advertise on here are the customers.

The reason forums like this exist is the same reason television shows are produced and music is played on the radio, it's to lure us in with something we find interesting so that we will put up with the ads.

I'm not complaining, fair is fair. I don't expect Muhammad to invest his time and money so I can chat about tractors for free unless he makes a return on his investment.

I'm not surprised. Yesterday I was reading this thread and noticed the irony of discussions regarding how we aren't allowed to discuss what was being discussed.

The rule is that we can't post about moderator's moderating, apparently not even the moderators can.

Yeah, I saw that other thread where Mohammad posted and basically told everyone involved to settle down, he didn't seem "mad" and what I saw after that wasn't really out of line IMHO.. Anyways.. guess it's over now and we're a few members shorter.
