"Forums filled with Group Think", to my dismay and wonder, "where have all the original posts gone?"

The only people who had their access removed from the forums, are those who broke the TOS. It's a separate question to determine whether they had original ideas, but in my experience, they likely spouted the same old talking points complainers are following from the larger group of complainers. There is nothing noble in having your access denied to the forums.

So again, it's easy to stop complaining, by stop doing the things that make you upset.
