role models? bwaahahaa...
yes indeed
my fragile child-like mind needs that.

We need more alphabetical people here...
The situation is dimensionally too ABC for me...
not to mention It isn't confusing enough yet for me not to be able to follow...hehehehahhaahahaa

sorry...I need a time out for a sec.
it's too hard to type...
I need my hands right now to hold my sides...
gawd you guys are great.



ah..welllewellwellwell...
hmm...I think everyone should just chillax ...
It's obvious that people should behave and police themselves...
and when passions get so heated that is impossible...the mods are there so one or a few person's upset doesn't spread and become a firestorm contagion of upset...with words upsetting many more.
Alot of people here are bandying about words ...too much power...abuse of power...I think people better calm down on that front...it isn't a position of power nor an abuse of it...mods are not omnipotent entities..the supermods are there to moderate the mods..the fail-safes are there....the mods are other members just like you and me who are volunteering their own free time to try to keep the bloody peace whilst their fellow members make more work for them..work I might add they are not getting paid for...and then...on top of their selfless work moderating people who themselves should know better...they are trying to be kind and polite and not disturb even the offender ..(whether or not the offender deliberately offends..) ...nor penalize them...
Then the moderator gets tarred, feathered and beaten by his fellow members for doing just that?
I think enough of being kind...
the community are not children needing that kind of moderation nor the ensuing tantrums.

the 3 american principals are Life Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.

I don't buy it ...
I'm Canadian and I believe in our 3..
Peace, Order, and Good Governance.

Stop being "kind" ...
Follow the letter of the law...
if there is a legitimate grievance ...the "only" entitlement anyone is due ...is the right of "due process"....to be heard out by another higher impartial [judge / supermod]
Otherwise it's time to pull out the big stick and start dolling out infraction-ary spanks.
