Get Yer Ya-Yas Out [FR Moderating Gripe Thread]

[history]
LM here.
It's been a while since we had a thread along these lines.
I can tell from comments I am seeing in threads, on abuse reports, and in Freepmail that some people are unhappy with various policies and their implementations by the staff here.
I've seen allegations that certain factions are picked on. I've seen allegations that the moderators have killed activism. I've heard rumors that we killed Kenny, and even that we killed the radio star. I see certain personality conflicts acting up, and know that one (or both) sides in it feel that we aren't doing what we should.
So let's open this can of worms.
This thread is for making your grievances heard. If you think something stinks or is wrong, make your case here. Back it up with facts. Let the audience at large weigh in on your evidence.
I'll read the thread. Jim will too in all likelihood. So will the other moderators. Depending upon how well you make your point, and depending on if you can convince Jim, me, the other moderators, and/or the world, maybe you can change things. And if you don't, then it might make you feel better to have vented, so it won't make this thread a total loss.
I'm not going to reply to this thread for quite a while. Rather, I am going to sit back and watch to try and get a feel for the general tenor. I encourage those who are both happy and unhappy with things to particpate in this thread.
Let's rock.

I'm really afraid for you,over there. LOL Come on. Afraid of toddler and mertz? They can kill me but they can't eat me. I have seen Fred beating his chest to get me out in the open for a year now. Well here is his chance. Toddler will be so confused he won't know where to post the thread. If you think an Internet forum that feature TLBSHOW as its most prolific poster is a challenge then FR must be the toughest site on the web.

Don't be. No one there can match wits with Tex. He could kick their _____ blindfolded with his hands tied behind his back after taking six Ambien.

TEXAS FOREVER IS COMING!!!! She wants to "debate" Fred Mertz and Sabertooth here. PREPARE YOUR BOZO FILTER!!!! TEXAS FOREVER IS COMING!!!! LOL
To: DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet
They ONLY complain when they get what they deserve. OTOH, when they're the ones attacking, as a feral group, that's okay. :-(
To: Texasforever
Lemme guess.

I hate SPAM! I just got some in FREEPmail and as usual, just deleted it, without looking at it. :-)

They can only be tough if they convince themselves that a female is on the other end.
