I can help with this Lonesome.
I'd bet my best double shotgun that Mark's motivation for this off-topic thread is a response to jOe confronting him about his use of this site for free advertising of his business. That happened earlier this morning in the DIY Gunsmithing forum.
Instead of responding to jOe by saying that he has integrity and pays Dave Weber every time he makes a sale as a result of his free advertising, his solution instead was to act like a "Fascist" and suggest that jOe should be IGNORED or otherwise silenced.
The apparent solution to being confronted about free advertising and self promotion for Mark's boy-friend SKB Stevie is to have special forums that are restricted to participation by only the free advertisers. Then they could filter out the annoying truth by use of PM's. He would simply censor anyone who dared to mention their free advertising. That behavior sounds a lot like Fascism to me... if you actually bothered to learn the definition of the word.
