Bef is a good friend of mine, and the only reason I told him to post his complaint on the forum was because it was useless him complaining to me. This isn't a dictatorship, I'm not going to remove EvF solely on the basis that one friend doesn't like the way he posts.
Hence why I wanted people to read Bef's thoughts for themselves. I happen to agree with Bef's point concerning a lot of EvF's posts; they do just seem like a load of random thoughts hurled together without any regard for structure. It's like there is a megaphone attached directly to his thoughts, and whilst thoughts are very important in forums, they need to be structured instead of just written down as they come.
Now I know EvF can change; I got sick of him using capital letters to EMPHASIZE seemingly random things so I PM'ed him about it, and now he uses bold text which is an improvement, although I don't think it is really necessary to do (hence why I only do it on occasion for really important things).
I guess the reason why I was concerned is that a prospective member came here and didn't like how a member of staff was presenting himself, especially considering this forum is meant to be about serious discussion (unlike say, AtheistForums.com presents itself). The last thing I want is people not joining this forum because a staff member and the person with the largest number of posts (over 1000 more than the next highest poster...me) is posting in a way in which people disagree. I hadn't heard of the term before now, but apparently it is "fluffing".
