Archer,
I am not clear that being banned from somewhere is an indicator of charactor as I have been and am currently suspended from Pinecam as we speak.
The real question here is whether or not we learn from our mistakes. I would like to think I do.
It is my opinion that RT, and more so MainMan don't. They have no desire to "listen". If you don't listen, you don't learn.
I too believe that Obama is tearing this country apart and bankrupting it but I just believe it will be a far more effective lesson learned if it is lived. We exercized our constitutional right to vote and my point of view lost. Now we live with the outcome and consequences of our decisions.

RT, you have demonstrated your ability to have a conversation without it devolving into name calling or whatever, you just need to excercise that ability more often. Honestly, it does get old.
I agree..You may want to get some counseling RT

Imagine you were being falsely accused and held in a foreign prison and your only hope of being saved was in Becky's hands? Well you would be pretty much fucked, because as soon as she meets resistance, she throws her loser hands up in the air and says, "Well I tried but I lost, Oh well." :shrug: sigh

I lost a battle, not the whole war.
It's called understanding what it looks like when that last domino falls.

I've been "suspended" from pinecam myself......different than a lifetime ban....and I agree...it is not indicative of character....but how you handle it IS. Surely manna has been banned like RT....for probably equally egregious behavior, I do not, however, see him whining day after day about the evil pinecam....nor bad mouthing everyone who continues to post there.

I'm not particularly fond of kicking people off an unmoderated forum....the whole idea of not having moderation is to let people say what they think without fear of retribution from mods....and I understand DB's desire to stay out of the whole moderation thing. I surely would not want that job.

RT and MM....are the anomolies in forums of this kind....most adults know where to draw the line, and will pull back when they find themselves crossing that line. It comes with maturity and understanding the priviledges of freedom. We only have true freedom when we are civilized, when our freedom does not infringe on others enjoyment of life....or in this case a message board. That a couple posters seem hell bent on making others uncomfortable, or unwelcome, or persecuted because they have different philosophies or views of life.....that is both unfortunate and annoying. It can ruin the forum for everyone else and keep good and interesting people away from that forum.

I don't know what the answer is.....a vote is democratic I guess....but it is still moderation and that can be a slippery slope to kicking off anyone who starts off on the wrong foot here.

I agree with towermonkey that rt can provide good posts and be an asset. I also agree with rt that others here can be, and have been, equally objectionable.

I think the object here is to make this forum more functional and enjoyable for all. IMO, that can only happen if each user moderates themselves, and is considerate of others.

I know that my opinion, and $3.50 (or somewhere in that vicinity), can get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks :laugh:

Let's try to work together to make this a more enjoyable and productive place, OK?

(and if not OK, you can vote me off the island ;-) ).


I'm not voting on this one at this time.

RT can be an entertaining and productive poster when he's not melting down over his incandescent hate of all things liberals. I think he's good to keep.

Again, like a broken record I just cannot vote to ban someone unless they violate the ToS here which is very liberal - Now don't go getting your panties in a wad RT because of the "liberal" word................. :laugh: :peace;

I like you RT - I really do and my gut tells me that you can be a generous and caring person.
