I find their deletions capricious. Days will go by with multiple threads on the same topic, and little or no administrator action. Then suddenly, they seemingly crack down and start ripping out entire threads. Happened this a.m. with INTO THE WOODS. The new thread was no more repetitive or redundant, and included some thoughtful (enough) and fresh discussion -- as much as there is at this stage, 2 days before opening -- but damned if it didn't get pulled in its entirety. It felt like a public wrist-slapping for a particular poster, rather than a measured attempt to address content. But I think deleted posts and threads are often, ultimately, based on a gotcha to specific, higher profile posters. People with a daily presence sometimes wear out their welcome I guess. Still, I find the administrators' intrusive comments can be prissy and not terribly informed. The actions can feel designed to police behavior rather than help sustain a climate of respectfully shared opinions.

Here are the things I like about All That Chat. There's a poster named MikeR who I kind of have an internet crush on. I mean, I have no idea what he looks like, but he's extremely smart, witty and fair. I like that in a man.

The other thing? The two good reviews I got from Matthew Murray. I mean...COME ON! How could I NOT love that!?

"People have actually had their applications denied before. They are tough."

I don't even know remember if I have an ATC account, ha. I don't plan on signing up, but what is the "tough" app process? And on what grounds do they deny people, besides, say, responding with gibberish?

lol Robbie, I think that character Mike R. can give after eight a run for his money in the snark department.
