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

[I Am Not A Mod]

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 stopped reading the thread after my last post. Did I miss something? We all had strong opinions and we all had good responses to each other's objections. It had all the makings of a great thread. Sure there was some contention and some veiled and not-so veiled insults, but hey, we're all adults here.

I'll keep the thread link on my profile page links. Maybe someday it will return in all its glory.

Since you have long ago avoided the original statement I made about you, I will now allow you to slip away. The point has been made and you have been convicted. Toodles!




Toodles? HA HA HA.
YOU are going to ALLOW me to slip away?

Either put down your bottle
or find a playground more suited for
your childish behavior.
You ALLOW me.
TOO FUNNY.


You've yet to make a clear statement.
Heck, even Howlin is perplexed.

Randle P. McMurphy aka spazmataz (Hemlock on LP) zotted again.

[Tamzee]

admit that I'm your daddy

You sound like Michael Moore looks...

[uglybiker]

Maybe some of 'em are just into blue haired old ladies?

Okay. I'll shut up now...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well this old "biddie" can stomp a Texas sized mudhole in you and eat lunch at the same time.

You left off "I've got chunks of guys like you in my stool."

[Mo1]

I agree and I do

[Howlin]

Over at there I was called a whore

Now, now....you know darned well it's

thieving whore!!!

[Tamzee]

EWWWwwwwww!!!

But a good one ROFL

[tpaine]

Sorry, fella -- I have no interest in your sex life.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

Well, I can't take credit. It's from an SNL skit. Phil Hartman playing Frank Sinatra. I can't even think it without laughing out loud. : )

[Mo1]

Ahhh .. you're right

Thanks for correcting my mistake

[Howlin]

OMG....this thread has whipped Fred and Todd into a mutual frenzy!!! They are now on their SECOND thread.....orgasmicly copying and pasting, copying and pasting, copying and pasting.

That is just too damn funny!

[FreeReign]

[Post #2]: I have no complaints.

Hmmm...looks like a very quiet thread. No sense staying up and reading it.

[onyx]

You're fast.
They haven't had time to publish
Randle P.'s deleted comment.

The reason I didn't ping you was because I am beyond the point of wanting to communicate with you. As far as I am concerned you have a huge blind spot about homosexuality to the point where you just parrot the same meaningless, empty, irrational objections to whatever scripter says, over and over and over again, and you have never once used fact, reason, quoted articles, etc etc to back up your position. Nor have you clearly stated your position honestly, nor do you answer questions put to you.

So I didn't ping you.

[Texasforever]

If it wasn't for FR they wouldn't have a sex life at all.

[Howlin]

Well, that was kind of what I was referring to when I said "mutual." In that cyber kind of way. :-)

[Mo1]

Okay. I'll shut up now...

Good idea :0) ...*L*

[breakem]

You keep repeating the same false statements. If you don't want to address me directly or if you have nothing new to say, then stop ranting about me on every other thread. When you stop trying to have me banned perhaps you'll take a class on research methodology and learn something.
