rosita lisa- nothing to do with hair, drinking or having opinions... (but you know that already - i can tell when you are being sarcastic) the reason "that thread" is moderated is to isolate it from two things, and ONLY two things... 1) spam and... 2) personal comments intended to belittle or make fun of another human being if anyone feels the need for expression via either of the above, then this porch thread, countless other unmoderated boards, or private messaging and email is a better and freer choice for them. you have in the past set your SI profile preferences to block others from sending you private messages. i imagine it's because of the same or similar reasons. i have no problem with that. as moderator of "that thread" i have no problem barring anyone either temporarily or permanently from posting on it if they belittle others in their posts (that's my job). those who object to that, don't post there (except to test the sincerity or the guts of the moderator). my personal door for PMs has always been open regardless of the content (but i'd close it if i felt like it). it seemed to me (and five others who PMed me) that bonnus and you were making fun of and belittling other people in your posts on "that thread". people were offended (in a way that seemed intentional) so "bang" you got barred. on the chance that it was unintentional, a misunderstanding on our part, or a playful "testing" of whether the thread was actually a moderated thread, the restriction was lifted in less than 24 hours. since then, bonnus has again posted disparaging personal remarks on "that thread" and has again been barred from posting there. you are still welcome to post there. your input and friendship is missed but it seems that you don't care to post there and that is perfectly ok too. i'm not writing this to suggest anything about how you may decide to act or re-act regarding anything. your path is yours and it's perfect for you. i'm just explaining my actions. it's been requested by both you and bonnuss. future posts or the absence of responses by me may seem like i'm trying to avoid confrontation - and that is exactly the case - some people enjoy confrontation and it suits them well. not me. i only have so much time left at this keyboard and there are so many more things i wish to participate in first before i begin confrontations - i've set aside a day in the year 2095 for fighting. :-) meanwhile, if you wish to continue debate on this topic i believe Ö¿Ö and some others would be happy to oblige you. no hard feelings, -polvie

Rose, When were you kicked off the moderated thread? Not trying to stir anything up, but have seen you posting there occasionally and adding to the give and take. Message 14717899 Message 14725758 I know you took exception to zello (as many others did, including our friend Polvie), but no one ran you off for doing so. In fact, V himself pointed out the "conviction" you have in your views. Message 14718676 So how are you situated in the market lately? I'm trying to gain back much of the drubbing I've taken since Oct. 1 alone. RMBS may be just the ticket; huge volume move up yesterday. Take care, jpgill EDIT: Just saw Polvie's post about 24 hour "moderation" which makes my original question moot. Hope to see you back anyway.

Rose, It appears that I was wrong about which moderated thread you were talking about, and I apologize for butting in. I assumed different, and we all know what happens when one "assumes" anything. I proved that premise here, I think (re: "assume"). Sorry for butting in, jpgill

Rose, You know exactly why you were "Temporarily" stopped from posting on NNBM. Out of all the time the NNBM has been open, you and Bonnie were the only ones who ever walked in with a desire to argue and fight with another person. We made it clear to you that we would prefer it if you didn't do that. Instead of understanding that, you choose to continue the bickering. Why is it so difficult for you to stop this silly arguing? In the past we have seen how nice you can be. You are a very pleasant and enjoyable person. You have many more good qualities than bad ones. There are not many people around here who are as much fun and as witty as yourself. For some reason, this problem that you have with Tom has carried over into every waking moment of the day where you have trouble concentrating on anything else but him or his statements. If someone tries to tell you "Enough Already", you get so offended that you begin to carry your anger over and direct it to that person. Give it a rest. Get beyond that. What did Tom do to you that was so horrible? Why must you carry it with you and let it take away from the warm loving person that you are? Polvie would never try to censor you. Instead it's just a message to try to be less than rude. Please get over whatever it is that is bothering you. We know how good you are. Show the rest of the world. Peace already, -Clappy
