Precisely why I value Mike's presence on this forum and why I want Shannon to participate more. Although I'm confident Shannon could do it in a far more intelligent and adult manner.
Amen...
As I've stated innumerable times, my intent with this forum is that it not end up like the muche...with the owner insulting and berating members he doesn't agree with and with participants going all Kazz-bot over nothing while also berating and insulting their fellow posters. This forum, like the muche, has unfortunately developed into
not a discussion of the issues, but a discussion of the minutae.
On one hand, we have lilMike bombarding discussions with needless picking away at moot points and continued disrespect for his fellow posters. On another hand we have FaFa bombarding discussions with needless conspiracy insanity; both with the intention of directing the conversation away from the civil and intelligent and into the realm of idiocy.
My experience those years on the muche developed into a constant defense of my words and thoughts. To the point the issue became inconsequential. Faced with attacks, including the personal, I fought harder and made a fool of myself in the process; thus realizing the goal of those who berated me.
I will not allow this to happen here.
When I set up this forum, I asked that we police ourselves. That has failed. Effective today, any post of lilMike's that delves into the personal attack and any post from FaFa that introduces a silly conspiracy-related comment into a topic will be moved to a special section of the board; the
Children's Playground.
Don't like it? Fine. Leave. You can go
here. At least I didn't ban anyone and still have my integrity.
I've asked you to point out where you feel I've violated the terms of service. I'm serious in wanting to be sure I'm playing fair. But I've no interest in generalities. If I've posted something specifically that is a violation, let me know.
