We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Swimmer,
If he thinks this, he is simply advocating conformism - a 19th century petit bourgeois interpretation of democracy - a 180 degree inversion of J.S. Mill, a man I would call a REAL democrat, who worried about the power of the majority over the minority.
