General Guidelines

• No insults or personal attacks
• No profanity or obscene language
• Debate - yes! Arguments or "flame wars" - no!

Yes so telling someone they need glasses and a hearing aid when you do not agree with their opinion or they are blowing smoke out of their @ss will no longer be tolerated.

We have all been guilty at one time or another, you included, so the rules shall be enforced.

Good, I am not asking for any special treatment and I know that I am guilty here and there but not on a normal basis.

Hey, I wear glasses and I have slight hearing loss from working in machine shops for over 25 years so I guess I offended myself too.

And my response that included blowing smoke was after about 50 of them directed at me. So glad you can find the needle in the haystack but you are nowhere to be seen as T hurls one offensive obscenity after the next at will.

Censor me, close my threads, ban me or whatever but make sure it's fair and I will take whatever I have coming to me.

[JohnMichael]

I only singled out examples of yours since you began the thread while requesting more moderation. Yes there are plenty of other examples I could have used. I had already pointed out my favorite for lowest comment in the other thread.

Yeah you can find close to a 1:50 ratio. Glad you have favorites while doing nothing about it.

As I stated I only used your examples because you started the thread. If someone else had started it I would have used examples of their words. Remember my comments about baiting? I have tried to make a point and I think I made it. Now please wait and see what other members might have to say.

Right on John, I think most of us can live with that providing it is applied evenly to ALL members.

Yes and I think we need to add no repetitive baiting of another member. If anyone disagrees with a post one comment is enough and then move on instead of beating a dead horse.

I hope the mods can stay sane. Good luck!

If I can make a wishful suggestion. My preferred mode of 'curation' would be simply to delete offensive posts rather than lock down the thread. Posters can try again with more moderate tones and maybe we'll all still have fun arguing/heckling/bickering...

I think the boat has already sailed on my sanity. We have never been a heavy moderated site and I was originally chosen to delete spam since I took joy in reporting it.

I think you are right that the post needs to be deleted. I am at work without computer access and moderating is not always easy with my iPhone. Deleting an individual post is easier than editing the foul language.

This is the most fun I have ever had working for free. All the warmth and appreciation makes it all worthwhile.

When the "you're gay" card from junior high was played, I had to shower. JM, I commend you for your even tempered restraint.

Wasn't this card played by someone who was attempting(or faking) the high road?

Just sayin....and still no apology for being right. This is the first time I have ever seen the high road in a subway station.

What Sir T saidWhat she did in essence was use a music background track that she had pre-recorded, and probably practiced to. She was probably more comfortable with that, than a live Band she has never rehearsed with.

What Beyonce said"It was about the President and the Inauguration so I decided to sing along with the prerecorded track, which is very common in the music industry," continued Beyoncé. "I am very proud of my performance.”

And still no apology from the 3 folks holding rakes, shovels, and various other things while demanding my ouster.

I think I am going to change my signature to this.....

You assume that wasn't done with the best intentions, but I fully understand how you might think not. It's been dropped and with this new outlook, we go forwards to a better day.
