Is there a possibility that your FR handle is prophetic? ;o)

I think that the guy who posted this thread used to be a kind of cowboy (I am not allowed to post to him, so I guess I can't use his old screen name). It is early enough in California so that he would still be sober.

Buckeroo?

I don't think the moderators are trigger happy at all. There are people on FR who definitely need to be banned. Last week a guy suddenly told me to "stick it where the sun don't shine" - just like that. I went back over our entire exchange and couldn't find anything that might have provoked that kind of reaction. There are people on this forum who only joined to cause trouble and/or are mentally unstable.

I wonder if he was the one by the name of "StaffMouser." I would have to be pretty desperate for work to assume a screen name like that for my employer.

Here's something interesting...I just had to re-logon to FR. For some reason my "logged on" cookie was forcibly reset by FR. I know this because I also had to re-log on another computer which had a new cookie since I just cleaned the cookies two days ago and already logged back in.

Maybe the moderators have a special cookie designation for potential trouble makers. Go figure....LOL

What happened to Spirit Of Truth?

LOL. Right, he said that the stock market going down was proof that the Iraqis were going to attack us.

I don't remember -- it's been nearly three years. I think his name was Ian.

Buckeroo?

That is my guess, same obsession, similar writing style. Has been around dumping on JimRob forever, still not nuked, despite provocation. What do you think?

It's been a while since I saw "Quadrophenia" but I remember the basic premise.

An unmoderated forum is an unreadable forum. Without moderation the messages would sink in even more flame wars. Moderation is not censorship, moderation is necessary.

Precisely. That is what was happening before Jim/John invented moderators. I was once flamed for making what I thought was a well reasoned comment to a discussion. One of the parties thought that he was in a private discussion, rather than a public thread.

I saw them in 1990 and thought they were washed up then.

They most certainly are.

The owls are not what they seem. And that is not a comment about anyone's gender.

Probably not. My wallet is full of anti-money lately.
