Re: Copyright issues / Moderation
Chris, that's fine by me. I am actually getting to be quite anti-authoritarian, so I just wanted to cast off this irritating image that stupid idiots seem to project on me. It has taken up too much time lately.
I'll also be glad not to have people try and manipulate me in order to get at you, and then come here and try and create division and conflict. I just think it's pretty pathetic for people to make so much fuss over an online forum, and if they can't express their point without coming into conflict with someone then god help them in the real world. Or - as woo_is_here pointed out - they are dumping all their crap here instead of dealing with their own issues. That sounds about right to me. Woo was a tad more eloquent than I though.
Anyway I may not agree with you on every issue, but that doesn't matter, we are all different. What would be the point in communicating if we were all the same. I have never ever had a problem with your moderation. I know you only ever blocked one person, and that was under extreme provocation. And now they are re-instated.
Message deletion? I get to read all the deleted messages (won't have that fun any more), but I know you have made the right choices when you have done so. Everyone gets paranoid about censorship when they see hidden message, but I know the ones you have deleted had bad message alerts and were either offensive to someone or very unsupportive, eg Deep fried twinky bars. I prefer to delete the message rather than do hidden subject, but of course you can't do that in the middle of a thread, and sometimes there are good messages in there.
Anyway, enough about moderation, have a great day
