Simple is very good.
if it works, don't fix it. It has always workrd around here for the MOST part.
the two poignant issues hotly debated on this board involve both banning posters who transgress established guidelines and the issue of using moderators to delete offensive posts.
there have been several reasonable points made on both sides of these issues and i think it fair to say that unless we come up with some creative thinking to offer some new alternatives that no matter what simon does he is going to have some people who are either happy or unhappy with the course of action he chooses.
indeed, the present controversies are fast becoming volatile emotional issues.. .

i see the same thing happening here that happened on another site a couple of years ago.
all of this complaing about moderation.
i just can't believe it.. think of it this way.
So this is turning into a LETS sue Simon board! if we can't come here and be as offensive as we like?
I didn't sign up on this board to threaten people and certainly not the owner. I can't believe someone is actually posting a threat after 100 or so posts. or after 4 weeks on the board. Already yelling LAWSUIT! MY RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED!
Some guy is suing the Fast Food Chains because he had no idea that their food was fattening.
There was no sign saying
"Don't eat three Big Mac's
EVERY DAY
if you want to stay skinny"
Was that you Trauma?

i DON'T SEE ANY REAL SENSE IN SQUABBLING ABOUT IT. oPINIONS ARE NICE UNTIL THEY TURN REAL UGLY. iF THIS PLACE TURNS INTO ALL THE OTHERS THEN WE CAN ALWAYS JUST LEAVE. wHY HANG AROUND JUST TO FIGHT OVER IT.
oops cAPS ON AND i JUST LOOKED UP.
DUH...spilling coffee and messing up key board.
I don't feel like typing this all over again so I sure hope no one starts yelling at me to stop yelling.

i have a new cat.
a smallish young adult (1-2 years old) female, with black & gold back and white chest, belly and feet.
i can't come up with a name i like.
I'm a cat person too.
I always gave my cats exotic people names.
My Russian blue fem, her name was Nadia.
I had a cat that looked like a little Ocelot. Her name was Paca (Swahili for little girl)
And a Siamese named Meeshan
I had a calico cat many years ago that a friend of mine named "AllSpice" because she had 4 different colors of spots. we called her Spice
and so on.
Oh I had a black fluffy cat named Alex because she was a nasty btch, reminded me of Alexis Carrington on "The Carringtons" from that TV Show about the Denver family. (Off shoot of Dallas)
bleep said something critical of bill bowen....the post was deleted.
did it use profanity/unaccepted curse words?
deleting stuff is ok......but the board can deal with it, especially posters like 'bleep'.
are we going to get edited for calling someone an apostate?
i posted a thread on bill bowen's disfellowshipping thread and the sentences ran off the screen.
this bugs me no end when i see it on other posts.
and i have been wondering for a long time why it .
<P>That has happened to me on occasion when I transfered from word. But I don't know exactly what causes it.</P>
<P>When that happens you either have to change the formatting when you edit your post.</P>
<P>What I find that works for me, AND THIS IS PROBABLY THE HARD WAY, but use the enter key when editing your post the same as you would do on an old type writer. If you only have a short paragraph sometimes that works just as fast as going through the formatting stuff.</P>
Hope that helps some.
yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda ...ENTER

h20 was a smashing success for a long time, even with many moderators.
the board rules were basically good common sense, and expressed some issues as to matters of law, such as not violating copyright, etc.
i don't understand why h20 went down the tank.
one last post before bed.
I went over to H20 to say hello, see what the topics were like, went back a few days later, still no reply. Not even a welcome. Nothing. Nadda. elnothingo.
so here I am
Lisa. LOL If you scroll across the alphabets back and forth it would probably be what chat would have sounded like tonight with sound. LOL
