I thought what you said was very reasonable. They just don't want to hear a different viewpoint. It used to be a fun and interesting group - now it's just ... well, you know. Kraft Out would have been kicked out of any reasonable group many times over. The guy's just poison.
Doesn't help when one of the moderators is all up in it. BigSoccer has kind of gone the way of the dinosaur anyways but this forum's been particularly bad.
