Whilst I agree with you, I haven't posted anything about my band, other than mentioning that 'I do music' as a passing reference to back up a positive post that I've made. Just think its a little overboard of you to dive on my signature - that people can read and act on of their own choice, rather than actual promotion threads where they have things rammed in their faces.

Well, not going to argue with you - that does no one any favours, but I feel after reading a fair few introduction threads and general threads asking for advice, that there is a large amount of belittling, humiliating and general negative behaviour going on - and of course, a complete disregard for your rules, that you only apply as you see fit - that sex thread seems pretty healthy and unrestricted to me...

Don't want to be a part of that thanks.
