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.
The goupie in an endless search for a group. Sad.
Think of it this way, onyx. Cutting and pasting 24/7 keeps them off the streets.

Well with straight( pure speculation) men like this, Henry Kissenger could keep you in stitches.
I only attacked with FACTS, FACTS ALONE, when you wrote me a FREEPmail telling me that I should get off the thread and that you KNEW that you were overstepping the bounds, but rattled on some more, about how YOU didn't like my " tone". This is paraphrasing, so don't even attempt to say that I've put words into your mouth.
The antiMasons were hammering away, throwing out personal insults, attacking ALL Masons, living and dead, cherry-picking and blasphemously post scripture, but you attacked me and still are. Well, pet, this is no tea party, once the thread got hauled into the smokey backroom, all gloves came off and now I know just WHO got my awfully innocent, benign posts pulled and they were in response to another's poster's replies to me, that was just catching up with. I was NOT harassing anyone, nor going after them. I was REPLYING TO POSTS DIRECTED TO ME !
You don't like the rough and tumble way I reply? TOUGH! I give back what I get but usually more mannerly and civil, than what's thrown at me.You had NO problem, whatsoever, with anyone on the other side and their posts.But someone on YOUR side? Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh, how FRENCH of you.I, most assuredly would NOT want you on MY side again, in any debate, or anything else, for that matter.
You are a sniveling liar! I use caps to make a point;you don't likes caps? TOUGH! I was more civil, in my last note to you, than you were to me, in your unctuous letter to me.
You aren't sorry about airing "dirty laundry" at all. This is your MO !
You misrepresented EVERYTHING, that took place on that thread.You've lied and had the unmitigated gall to tell the people who KNOW ME WELL,that they don't know what I am like and to imply that they're standing up for me is uncalled for,because I don't deserve it. HOW DARE YOU !
You don't want any "nastiness",but you sure can sling it, in what you imagine to be a "couth" way.
Ah Tpaine I have to stoop to get to your level otherwise you would have no one to talk to.
Tex, I have more discussions on actual political subjects in one day than you have in a week.
-- In fact, you gave up on honest political discussions with me the night you admitted that CA could prohibit assault weapons under 'states rights' powers. There was something strange in your stool that night too.
