Sheesh... so much venom.

Guys, give Doniston a break. He may be a bit to serious but you guys are really arguing over very silly things.

I don't need a break from these Jackasses. they don't bother me in the slightest, it is a simple thing to listen to their garbage, and then ignore them. (but my way of ignoring them. Not the ignor nutton)

Cool. It's always nice to find how people get here. Most of the people I know and thus know the path they took to get here. It is the genuine new people that I usually ask, if they stick. You seem to be willing to stick even with your frustrations with my moderation style.

LOL. I would have no idea. I just work to peacefully occupy the same board and have a bit of fun while I post. We are clearly of very different political persuasions, but I have many friends as liberal, if not moreso, in RL as well.

I hang often with public school teachers, some are conservative but hide it from the other teachers, but they are few. Others are conservative and proud, and usually are snickered at behind their backs, but most are simply liberal in their leanings.

I fully believe that conservatives and liberals often have the same goal in mind, but just different maps on how to get there.

However, i would definitely leave if I could find, or even build a more habitable place.

I AM looking.

I'll look to see if I can find a place for you too. If you aren't happy here, there is likely some place out there that would make you so.

Don't they all. two pages after the start of the thread, you would never guess how it started.

Conversations often work that way. Have you ever been in a conversation with somebody and wondered, "How did we get here?" Then you attempt to backtrack the conversation. I find it interesting. What is cool, is you can always bring a thread back into the topic simply by posting about it.

but here it is virtually a sure thing. in fact of all the forums I have been part of, there is only one whom I would say had a worse record of hijacking threads, and that was a highly conservative partisan forum that if you weren't a Bush lover, then get out.

In almost all conversations it is virtually a sure thing. Had this been a serious thread I long ago would have mentioned that it was far off target and reiterated the original post. It was not, it was a thread about a teacher who mumbled something about 7000 years old when speaking of a dinosaur bone.

I do notice that you aren't talking about dinosaur bones in this thread at this moment. Does this mean that you are part of the problem? If you think the thread should stick on topic, then by all means only post on topic.

If you want to suggest changes to the site, there is a suggestion section. You can self-moderate, keep your posts on target, be as strict as you want, and make sure you only post in marked areas with specific guidelines. Nobody will object if you do this. You can behave on the site exactly as you expect others to. That way, you will cease to be part of the problem and will be instead a shining example of fundamental forum operation.

Or you can post off-topic, as you have done here, and we'll answer anyway.

You are the only person you can control both in your life and on this board. You can act exactly as you expect others to, as you promote, and as you clearly believe.

Anyway, I will point out to you a rule that is in the rules area, and has been since you have been a member.

15. Any issues with the Moderation of the board must be taken up in PM with the jpp.com staff.

Since you have consistently broken one of the few rules of the board, do you feel I should do something about it? How strict should I be?

To tell the truth the only reason I put that rule in there was for other staff members, if you have a problem with them and need to talk about it the best place for it is in PM. However, I have kept limited staff because moderation of the board was meant to be light and I mean to keep it that way.

I prefer to give warnings, speak kindly, explain, then act. Please, if you have any more issues with how the board is moderated, instead of posting off-topic, against your own clear personal bias against it, send me a PM. We can have a nice conversation about it and thus leave the board clear for more on topic posts.

If you have suggestions about the function of the board, by all means put it in the suggestion area. You will see that I have taken and implemented many suggestions from the board's members, and I will take your suggestions seriously as well. But the moderation of the board should be taken up in private, as the rules state.

If you have an issue with a particular member's post, there is a "report post" button at the top of each post, please use it. It sends me a nice message telling me your complaint with the content of the post and your explanation of why you think it has gone too far.

Thank you,

Damocles

Once more you spent a great deal of space to point out things that need not be pointed out, and the only message you succeeded in conveying is that you are going to do just what you damned well please and to hell with anyone who disagrees. (that of course is your perogative, since you own the site.)

you asked what you should do about my "breaking the rules. The answer of course is that you should take appropriate action. however you never do that, because virtually anything is OK with you ---- you apparently like discent. So your tirade falls on deaf ears. I have made very clear how I feel, and your rule about PMing problems with your operation are absolutely stupid
the only thing that solves is that no one else reads what I (ir others)think of you and your MO,

Well, I have made my feelings clear so the next step is up to you. You want to Ban me? go for it if you wish. I have made my points.

Of course you are ready have an ally ( next post)that thinks you have "Owned"me by your tirade. To me all you have accomplished is to make your position more obvious.

I will say this, except for your tirade, and the stipidity posted by ASSHAT, the site has been somewhat more peaceful and reasonable for the past few hours. I have actually seen some serious discussions as a result.
