Okay,I am a somewhat outspoken person ,but I have been politely quiet about this ongoing "common practice" from ,just guessing, about 25/35 % of SBR MEMBERS . 
This seems "not" be a Democratic running "freedom of speech" Forum ?
I have only been a member for about 2 1/2 months,but and I was seeing this problem after about 4 weeks posting .
My opinion is...it's UGLY ! And it's embarrassing sometimes watching the "super" CLIQUE dominate this excellent forum !
This forum is meant for friendship and an exchanging of ideas and opinions from ALL members isn't it ?
Mixed with plenty of,mostly, wholesome teasing and ribbing from each other ?
However,I strongly believe this forum is misrepresenting ,in general, what SBR STAFF had intended .
I didn't initiate this problem ,it was already present,but I am reaching out for members to recognize that "this is a problem",and it needs to be fixed .
Hopefully,I am not standing alone with this issue,but if I am ,and it doesn't get rectified,then we "all" lose ,and I am back where I was before I filed this complaint,not satisfied but at least I tried by exposing the "wart on the face"of this Forum .The one I was seeing of course.
Now ,I will admit ,some of my posts and threads were not well thought out,and some I wish I had not written .But once posted they were in .
1.Now on to the HEART of my complaint...All members should be treated with "equal " respect if possible,there is no room[again my opinion] for completly "ignoring fellow members when they are baring their "heartfelt" posts and threads .
That's not the Democratic way, and it causes hard feeling's among members !
And the truth is...it's ongoing everyday on this Forum .
I am not naming names,and I fully expect some "anti-Abe" feedback,but , let me ask you ,was this issue going on for years and no one complained ?
2.The other problem I see ,or feel,is there is also some Racial overtones exposed on the Forum too !
Am I the only one to see that ?
I know I have been quite a teaser,and a few times I am sure the teasing didn't feel like only teasing ?It was,but I may have used the wrong words at times ?
So that's it Two major problems that should or could be fixed !
I will accept any trashing coming my way,but I will likely respond with what I see as the TRUTH !
That is why I choose my avatar name .....the TRUTH will set you free !
