Looking at the board software I think there is a way to make everyone happy here. I think we can exclude individuals from any single forum. That way they will not know that there is a chick not being verbally abused in here, because they will not be able to see the forum in question. So far the list of people to exclude includes:

Freestila
BDM
cqd
Barry

If there is anyone else that would like to be excluded please include your name here and when I get with Steve we'll see if we can make this happen. Deal?
