    We've just got back from out holidays after travelling with 2 young kids for 24+ hours and logged on to see the same old people complaining about the same old things with the same worn out arguments.

    The topics seem to be along the lines of:

    • Posters should be allowed to say anything they want.
    • We want absolute free speech and seem to be under the mistaken illusion that the USA has it.
    • There is mass moderation happening on this forum and censorship is rife

    ... and so on.

    All of these claims are utter crap as far as I am concerned.

    Now, I am not going to put up with people trying to stir things up and interfere with the majority of posters who want to use this forum properly and see me and moderation as the main topic of conversation.

    Keep harping on and you WILL be deleted. Harsh? Unfair? Tough - go write to your senator / local MP or body of elders.

    People who have already intentionally tried to stir things up by trying to make it appear people were editing their posts have been deleted: gravedancer, I already gave you several chances and frankly all I get in return from you is extra work so goodbye.

    If anyone thinks they are going to be clever by 'showing how much moderation there is' by pushing the limits past what they know are acceptable then they will go too. I do not care who it is, how long they have posted for or how important they think they are. It will not happen here, full stop.

    Simon,

    Welcome back, things have been kind'a quiet around here since you left. Where did you go on your vacation aka holiday?

    You're back already!! Kismet told us this controversy was ruining your vacation -- and what a short vacation it was! That's too bad.

    Anyhow the board will survive yet again, despite this recent outburst. I've had 2 recent-joiners (who joined when it was peaceful a couple months ago) tell me that if there was all this swearing and fighting when they first got on, they would have left!

    So yeah as always if we could get just a moderate amount of restraint from all concerned, the drama would end, and we'd go back to being that hugely successful "Discussion forum for anything JW related".

    Welcome back, Simon and Ang.
