Certainly don't want to fight with Glambies. Tiptap, I'm just sayin,' in reading your original post, I now see my mistake with QOL's mod JPL. It's just funny how we see our own mistakes when others make them.
I just visited QOL and overall it is bustling. The organization of the topics are really good with a wide and diverse contributors from different eras. With QZ, topics and posters are also really good (actually terrific), but not as organized, for instance, almost a dozen QZ AL threads now exist, mainly on the serious discussion subforum, and many of them are not serious Queen discussions.
"And why are you talking like Gomer Pyle?" Because for a big chunk of my youth, that's the way I spoke. Hard to get mad and stay mad when folks communicate in long slow drawls.
I know most of the AL threads under the serious topic sub-forum aren't actually serious, but if you look closely most of them were not made by glamberts.
Now I'm all for being a good guest, but I also expect the hosts to be civil as well. Expecting new members to behave like second class citizens, or run the gauntlet of the trolls, is something you may be willing to do, but not me. And since there are no rules requiring that here, I certainly won't.
Perceptions differ but the fact that you find QOL bustling amazes me. It's almost dead, imo, except for the non-Queen related chat-with-friends threads. I read there, but can catch up a whole week's activity in an evening. I think those chat threads are great, but now that there's a new Queen topic on the horizon, I'm really looking forward to those discussions (although not as much, of course, as I am looking forward to the live events).
I know what you mean by accents. When the movie Fargo first came out I was a bit offended by the almost-comic depiction of the Minnesota accents. They had everyone in the movie, from Bloomington (a suburb of Minneapolis) to Fargo (a city in North Dakota, just outside the Minnesota border) talking with the same, thick Iron Range accent like they do in Chisolm. But then I started listening to my friends and co-workers a little closer, and sure enough, almost every native Minnesotan has a bit of that accent, peppered with the ubiquitous phrases like 'yah sure you betcha' and 'uff da!' If you ever hear someone say those two things, you can bet they're from Minnesota - yah sure you betcha :>
I think you have a bone to pick with QOL/some of it's people.
Your ego is something to behold. Your own set of rules, and clearly you don't want certain others to join in discussions n QZ, which is petty,selfish and a very controlling thing for you to do.
You have a horrible, misguided sense of entitlement when comes down to what you want/need, and I know you will stoop very low in trying to get it.
