If you have a look at the last post barracuda made in that thread in the Posting Guidelines forum (along with a few others from other people) and you consider that just the other day brainpanhandler started that whole thread essentially to bad mouth me, personally, you're going to have to come to a conclusion.
And of course you don't agree with every one of my viewpoints - some are quite controversial. But I'm not a 'no planer' and I'm not a racist and I don't deny the holocaust and I'm not sexist or stupid or ignorant or cruel. So..
You can decide whether or not this is to be a forum wherein we all agree or wherein we debate. I have fun debating, and also sometimes it's quite enlightening and good for the soul. I like to learn things, to change my mind and to try and change the minds of others.
Anyway, right below in your post you mentioned the 'posting of messages from banned posters' - it seems to me that barracuda might be directly snubbing you by posting what he posted with of course the essential element of trying to implicate me in the current mess.
I just wanted to point it out, and yes, report it, because that's my new policy.
Report anything against me that is blatantly wrong. (advice I got)
I don't like it, but I'll see if it works.

Food for thought from a community that closely parallels RI: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index ... opic=20259This is a start of a new regime at the Forum. If any other member makes abusive comments about a fellow member, their membership will also be deleted. If anyone tries to subvert this measure by posting comments of banned members, they will also be removed from the forum.
This is the last chance for the JFK Forum. If this new approach does not work, the whole forum will be removed.
ASK YOURSELF IF YOU VALUE THIS PLACE ENOUGH TO KEEP IT ALIVE. Seriously.

2. what I "meant by that" is that RI is facing a similar crossroads this year.
3. "You can decide whether or not this is to be a forum wherein we all agree or wherein we debate." Neither activity interests me, at all. Hopefully that helps you clarify where I'm coming from -- happy to discuss it further if that comes off as inscrutable.
Canadian_watcher wrote:Yeah, I see that it's from a different site - not sure what that has to do with anything.
You seem to have taken the attitude that I'm challenging you. I'm not. You're a moderator, and I have concerns. If I'm misreading your vibe then set me straight. I'm opening dialogue here.

and what is with asking me to contact you via personal email? No thanks - I would have thought you could handle the mod duties here through the system, but that's your call. It just means that I can't look to you for anything.

Sorry to cause a scene. I'm happy to resign as mod, it's not like my tolerance for horseshit is going to radically improve this year. Anyone who contacts me directly will get the same sunny disposition.
I leave it for the rest of you to decide and have no hard feelings any which way.
