In a nutshell, there is a private section of the forums where you can talk smack about anyone and everyone's imperfections or postings you disapprove of. I payed for a month or two awhile back and peeked in, and yes, there is some heat being thrown around toward many-a-poster.
Well, from what I gathered from a few other Yellow Badgers I'm in contact with, apparently Mr. Bernard was the target of someone's post, and being a Premium member too, he saw it. That set him off and he left the boards. It's a shame to lose him. I wish he'd gone off and cooled down before making that decision. I too have tried to leave this place time after time after time after time, yet still come back. The only positives from this place is meeting a class-act Canadian, her husband, and maybe the photo threads. lol
