Message #3022 from SI Admin (Bob) at Jan 25, 2001 10:30 AM If you'll click my name in the post to which you're responding, you'll find that you can PM me. Also, if you click "Inbox" (it should be red or have a red number after it) at the top of your screen, you'll see a message from me to you about links. Regards, SI Admin (Bob) now.... what is that supposed to be ? a non-condescending post ? a tad provocative perhaps ? how about: Poet, please check your PM i just sent you one. or something along those lines.

This is not just meant for you, Bob, I address all of the thread. This was meant to be a designated unmoderated thread for battle in order to keep our "private" thread tidy. I am disappointed that it has had to become a censored thread, and I am convinced Bob finds this chore distasteful. Who wouldn't? I have received a pm from an arguably RW poster asking if I want him to tone it down or even leave the thread. I say no. We have our clubhouses. We are not looking for homogeniety here. While certain individuals do seem incapable of discussion that either side might deem worthy, the remedy here should be to employ the IGNORE feature. Use it on me if you like. What does not seem acceptable are personal attacks on those private threads, where they cannot be addressed. If it must be said, let's say it here and duke it out here. Better yet, if it's empty invective, let's just not say it. Let's not go running to Admin, I'm speaking to both sides here, when we are done dishing it out and just can't take it anymore. But no one should be run off. Shunning seems okay, by me. I am thinking of revamping the header. So we might as well open rules to discussion. Any thoughts here?

Yo, Bob. So what is the Suspension for? Something icky in pm? I sure don't see a TOU violation in her posts. But then I'm just a novice at keeping order. You should know you were out of line to come after YYB for an innocuous post using cuss words when violence had been suggested by others and it was brought to your attention. Oh, right, you thought it might take too much time. Either ignore us altogether, or act fairly. Right now there is nothing fair to see in your actions.
