That being said, yes I am happy with current moderation. Do you guys really want a babysitter telling you to be what you can and can't say? Or should we just try our best to ignore what pisses us off? I tried posting once or twice in the politcal forum and realized I wasn't going to change anyones opinion.

Now it is just like watchin NASCAR. I tune in for the wrecks

I am perfectly happy with the moderation.

Another member here once invited me to a gun forum.. I won't mention the name... Anyway.. my second post was altered, and the third was deleted! (Needless to say, I never posted there again, or visited.) And I didn't even say "****" or "****" or anything! (This was in a section about literature.)

People have to have some latitude to post their thoughts. I think the more latitude the better.

Tough skin may not be enough. Go look in your closet right now and see if you have a suit of chain mail. All good moderators should have at least that kind of protection for emergency situations. If you have enough points and can afford the best armor then as a moderator you should have it available for immediate use. Wear it at all times. Same goes for weapons. Get the best weapons available. And remember, never ever attack anyone with just a big stick. They break.

No. I was just flashing back to my computer game days. And yes, I did vote no.

I agreed to help Kermee moderate the site. I did not agree to being a hard ass, baby sitter, or Nazi. I don't think a moderator has to be a tough guy. That power to kill lies in the collective hands of the membership. If someone gets out of line, the members will swarm. Remember Computer Nerd (however he spelled it)?

No need to wear armor nor carry a big stick when in the company of gentlemen. I have a protective cup for that.

Yes, it's fine. I find most of the political discussions irritating due to individuals that go well out of their way to make inflammatory remarks aimed at other individuals. And it never fails, the target person gets suckered into a long dragged out, boring bout.

Although I wish they’d just resort to pistols at dawn, I’m satisfied by simply ignoring them. It’s like the crap on TV. If you don’t like it, change the channel.

That's why I gave a no vote.
