I don't know about you, but I don't permit folks to talk trash to my guests in my kitchen anymore than I allow it in my living room. Folks who can't maintain a civil tongue in my house get the boot.

Respectfully, sitetest, this is JimRobs house and he has asked the RM to police what is said in his kitchen. While I recognize that you might not like the way the RM has allowed the converstation in the kitchen to evolve, you are still a guest as am I, and the RM is still in charge. If you don't like the conversation taking place in the kitchen, you are still free to go into the living room or go to another party altogether.

It is my opinion that referring to the conversations that take place in the kitchen as "the sewer," you are being offensive to both your host and your RM. I don't have a problem with your disrespect as long as they don't. I simply want to point out what I view as your hypocrisy.

Dear colorcountry,

“While I recognize that you might not like the way the RM has allowed the converstation in the kitchen to evolve, you are still a guest as am I, and the RM is still in charge.”

Until Jim Robinson decides to kick me out of here after 10+ years, I'll continue to voice my opinion about when I see things that are wrong.

“It is my opinion that referring to the conversations that take place in the kitchen as ‘the sewer,’ you are being offensive to both your host and your RM.”

The rules of the “Open [Sewer]” threads are basically, no personal attack, no profanity, no “potty” language and “no thin skin.”

In calling these threads sewers, I'm not attacking any person. I'm not using profanity. I'm not using crass “potty” language. Anyone who takes offense to my characterizations, however, IS showing a thin skin, and I guess, if the rules were enforced fairly, would have to go.

Certainly, my criticisms of the “Open [Sewer]” thread policies are more polite, more decorous, less mocking, less ridiculing, less demeaning than MANY of the posts of non-Catholics and non-LDS against things held HOLY AND SACRED by Catholics or LDS.

Are you suggesting that criticism of Religion Moderator policies is WORSE than trashing other people's sacred things?

“...your hypocrisy.”

Sounds like a personal attack to me.

you are being offensive to both your host and your RM.

Actually, the moderators must have much, much thicker skin than any of the posters on any forum or they can't do their jobs.
