boo hooo hooooMitchell said:Myriads, I certainly dont want to add any more "fire" to this topic, so to speak, but, since I was unjustifiably called a "facist" by this guy, along with his comment about you, also unjustified I might add, I did want to chime in here, especially since I was the one who started this thread in the first place.
First, I will say that I was very surprised that this thread was reopened, almost six months after Jeff and you clearly stated your points of view about my suggestion of 3 strikes and out. I accepted your decisions, as you and Jeff are the heads of the forum, and to me, this thread was dropped. The fact that is was re opened six months later, and has had three mods post in it in a couple of days time, is to me, troubling. This is how I see things.
Not to parrot or paraphase what Mimi said, but, basically, she is 100% right. This is Jeff's forum. He runs it, along with you, Mimi and the other mods. The mods and admins have the right to make any rules they want, as this site is private. Whoever doesnt like it, doesnt have to be here.
Personally, I like the Golden Rules, and my original point about 3 strikes, was to attempt to tone down, some of the increasing attacks I saw at the point I posted this thread. Jeff made his case clear. I acknowledged it, validated his point, and dropped it.
Basically, without the Golden Rules, this forum would simply turn into a place where everyone who had a bad day could come to, and let out their frustrations on their fellow chatters, for no reason. I see that the rules protect both the chatters and the mods. Without them, we might well have a board or forum filled with all kinds of attacks, just because everyone who had a bad day, decided to come here, and let out their aggressions, which we all have at some point, due to the complexities of life, at our fellow forum members.
One final point: You had mentioned a while back that if people wish to have forums to "bang" on or attack each other, that there are other ones out there, and that as this forum, the TMF, is the mods and users internet home, and private, such will not be tolerated here. The TMF to me is like a private club, the owners and managers, make the rules, and the members can leave or be forced to, if they dont like such. We all read the rules when we first came here, so for anyone who chooses to stay here, the guidelines are clear.
Okay, I am done. As I said, my point here is not to add any more fuel to the fire. I merely wanted to point out my view about the forum and rules here. I will again say that I was surprised, and a bit disturbed, that everyone's time had to be taken up with a thread that is six months old, and which has already been clarfied by Jeff and yourself. I personally would not like a forum such as the one that Way2fun suggested. This one is just fine. Even if we dont agree with all the rules, we need to follow them, to stay here, and to me, the rules here are a heck of a lot better then having a free for all where everyone is attacking each other all day long. End Of Post.
