26Basic Principles for Forum Moderation
by Simon ina perennial issue for any online forum is moderation and applying rules.
we have a set of community guidelines and posting guidelines that are intended to make clear what is and isn't acceptable but this tends to focus on the obvious standards of behavior for, well, obvious reasons.
it's easy to talk about people being aggressive or insulting etc... as those are common and clearly unwanted behaviors and the typical issue for online communities - the most likely things to come up.. does this mean that everything *not* on the list is allowed?

Extreme leftists/regressive left may be rare in the general populace. They are not rare when it comes to the policy wonks, media, and famous activists. It seems that only the 2 extremes get a voice in the public sphere. The regressive left takes more time blaming and attacking their own county then terrorists and fundamentalists.
They have a huge influence on policy and weaken our freedoms. They also pave the way for the extreme right to take over. The regressive left is causing tremendous harm to our civilization.

I personally believe that no religion deserves to worship in peace. Spew hate speech and brain wash people to commit horrible atrocities. Especially since my tax dollars pay for it. -

Most fundamentalists are in the public space therefore deserving of ridicule. I would not do what they did because I believe it is ineffective .
Since it is a setting that is open to the public I believe they were in their rights to do what they did. Especially since groups like jws stifle and prevent open discussion.

Morpheus I have no beef with you either. What I stated and anyone who reads it in context knows that this has to do with Cognac stepping in as though she were my mother.
You can see it however you like. If I'm wrong I will readily apologize. I'm not wrong here so I will not back off. People here are often overly sensitive to critical comments toward themselves or directed toward others in a post. Regardless of who that poster is. Trolls deserve nothing but contempt and ridicule.
Can everyone just get over themselves.

Cognac I have no beef with you. Thank you for your sympathy. Its not what I meant when I said to read his, that is Scotty Rexs previous posts.
There are some people that come on here that I have no tolerance for. I can't stand people that criticize others that try and that give a damn. If this topic had been started by you or any of a number of other posters it would be different.
I have always called a spade a spade. I will treat trolls as they rightfully deserve. Just the fact that someone is breathing does not mean they deserve respect. I don't deserve it. I work for it.
I believe it is sometimes imperative that one speak directly, even harshly to drive the point home. That is not abusive. I've said if before and will say it again. People here or elsewhere can curse me out and tell me to go to hell or worse. I'm ok with that. I'll still argue the point if it is valid. Sometimes the sensitivity index on here is just ridiculous.
