If you go to the thread where he said that, and read it in it's entire context in relation to a post directed to him, you will see that he was referring to when 1/2 of the search function was disabled prior to the change over. He stated in that thread that it was originally turned off prior to the change because of some members harassing other members. Someone replied back stating that the reason we were given was that it was affecting the speed of the site and that it was going to be turned back on after the forum change over. Then Williamsn stated further that it was speed that prompted them to turn it off prior to the change, but the harassment was also a deciding factor. The change has taken place. The speed issue has been resolved. We were told it was all going to be turned back on after the change over, and now we find that an "executive decision" was made to keep it disabled for members because of the harassment issue. Basically we were blatantly lied to for many weeks prior to the forum change over.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi
