Don't get me wrong he was an ill informed rude *****, whose personel attacks went beyond the dig in the ribs that some people who take themselves to seriously needed. His views on the work of some people who had put lots of effort and time into furthering the trade was unforgivable. But yep there is a but, there was a lot more traffic through the site. Its a shame his ability to evoke a response was so negative. Just a thought as i watch the masters golf.

I can deny it. His posts did nothing for site traffic, and only generated negative email directed to me. I monitor site traffic daily, and it's hasn't declined since his departure. It always amazes me that some people believe posts like his, or simply people who generate controversy, regardless of how they do it, stimulate site traffic. They don't. They hurt traffic. I still remember the wailing and shedding of tears a while back concerning how the withdrawal of a few forum members was going to irreparably cripple the traffic. Yet, since then, site traffic has increased over 15%, and the registration rate is higher than ever.

We don't need garbage/nonsensical/attack posts to stimulate traffic. Quality content wins out every time.

Personally speaking, I quit reading this "thread" because of the negative tone, I just clicked on it now to see if Baron banned the guy, and yes indeed he did. I think we all have enough drama in our daily lives, we don't need to tune into a soap opera of negativity and bickering. I think its right that a fellow who cannot be respectful should get the boot. It just is a bad representation of our profession. I am not always in the right and maybe several of us from time to time may post something that rubs someone wrong, but when its the rule rather than the exception, I think the person needs to go.

Rick, that is one of the best posts I have read in a while.
