People can look and see what the new owner has done to other forums and have an idea of what to expect. I think that is where a lot of the bitterness is coming from. <br>
<br>
There is a lot of passion in the community and I think many feel that the community is threatened, whether true or not. <br>
<br>
Should people have been more level headed and wait and see what happens? Sure.<br>
<br>
Can you blame their reactions based on the information at hand? Possibly but I understand why when you look at the new owner's track record.<br>
<br>
Many of these people had experience with what went down at NF and see/feel the same thing happening at the forum.<br>
<br>
I dunno... I can see both sides to this situation now that I've had a chance to look at it objectively.<br>
<br>
FWIW... people are calling for them to calm down and stop looking like childish asses on the other forum now.<br>
<br>
We'll just have to wait and see how all this plays out.<br>
