I think that the phenomenom of people feeling like they can just say any damn thing they want behind a keyboard (and believe me, they can claim they would...but they wouldn't say any of that stuff in real life, who would?) isn't exclusive to the Adult biz.

A couple of years ago I was trying to diagnose a disease on one of my Oscars in my fish tank. So I googled around and found a forum that was dedicated to Oscar fish.

HOLY SHIT. Those guys were SHREDDING each other. Death threats, name calling, waaaayyyyy worse than I've ever seen here. And that was a tropical fish enthusiasts board! lol

You should see some of the guitar and guitar gear forums that I'm a member of. Makes our trolls look like Ghandi

Having said that...I still think there should be a real business section that only people who can prove they are in this business to Eric (obviously he already knows who a lot of them are) would be allowed into.

And then everyone in there should have to go by their REAL NAME (like I do anyway). That way all of you could have one username for the business forum (your real name, not viewable by the general public or even the "regular" registered users), and your current silly looking "nicknames" that most people here use (not counting folks who use their biz as their nic).

Then you could post seriously in the business section, and if you try to troll in there...everybody knows who you are. So the biz section could stay clean and useful.

Meanwhile you could take your "regular" nic and use it out here to act out and troll and insult people.

That way everybody can still have their childish fun, and yet act like grownups when it comes to business away from the surfers of GFY.
