Locked Topic Question

[Mestral]

How is it that after a thread is locked because of baiting by liberals, someone posts another attack?

[Rick]

The technical answer is that the software allows those with forum administrator access to post in locked topics.

[Mestral]

Maybe it can be discussed further, but right now I got to go to work.

I hardly think what I posted was "an attack."
If you think it was, then you are either way too sensitive or your definition of "attack" needs to be reconsidered.

[mac]

it's amazing to me how many times i agree with you. some of us are really really thin skinned......mac

Personally I think that this acrimony is not only happening on this board, but across the county. It's a sharply divided country and that's what the last four/five years have brought us. No unity to work through problems.
It's on both sides, but I have hope.
I know there are mostly good folks on this board and I've been here since Rick was gracious enough to start it and spend his time and money keeping it going with lots of help from Scarlett. It's a great place to share news, discuss ideas, get advice, share a joke, and just hang out. They're the yin and yang of this place.

Once in a while we just have to take a deep cleansing breath, me included.

The thread in question has been cleaned up and reopened.

I am considering some changes to the administration of the forum and will decide in the next few days, what, if any I will implement.

Well I am on pins and needles waiting to see what THIS means.

Nope...but I did reload the fuel in my broom...8-;

some knucklehead, ignorant slob once said something about "biting the hand that feeds you" but he was ignored, castigated and shut out.....i too am on "pins and needles'.....mac

Again, no hand on this forum FEEDS ME...

[Rick]

Well, it's not that exciting. I am considering adding a moderator or two to help me out. I have someone in mind, but was wondering if someone else might be interested.

Heck, every time I make a decision, someone is telling me how much I suck, so I figure that they might be able to show me how it's done! :bluerofl

[Grammar Rules]

Since you're asking, I'd be dee-lighted! :p

[mac]

a lot of "hands" on this forum feed you and your's......and me and mine......."it takes a village"......mac

Oh, I have bigger and better plans for you.

Full administrator access and changing the forum notifications to your email address and let you deal with the hundred fifty spambot registrations every day. :))

Your village needs to stay away from mine. We have no need for that colonial or pioneer ways of yours.

OMG. Just when I think you can't possibly creep me out any more...you do...

[Scarlett]

Yes. What she said!

[Mestral]

I think he is referring to his tax money.

[mac]

do you not honor and respect the colonist and pioneer fathers of this great nation, these united States?....mac

[Rick]

What's that got to do with the topic?

[xzochye]

I really don't give them a second thought.

[Mestral]

What's that got to do with the topic?Have you ever thought about making everything in the Admin section permanently moderated? I would. The section is for you to communicate with us about the operation of the forum, not for petty discussions of pioneers and villages. There are better places for that.

[mac]

BUT...it was not I who brought up the colonists and colonials.........mac

I never said you did.

1. You started this thread here rather than send a PM to one of us.
2. Who is the "you" that you speak of?

[Mestral]

1. You started this thread here rather than send a PM to one of us.
2. Who is the "you" that you speak of?Communication with, not to. My suggestion is that any one of the moderators, yourself included should approve posts here, to help keep the noise level down. The "you" I speak of is any of the board admin. Yourself included. My post here was on topic.

[Scarlett]

Just seems to me that like almost ALL other topics on this forum, things evolve into other conversations. It doesn't seem to be a problem, and if anyone doesn't like it, they are always welcome to close their browser and stop reading it?
If it becomes an issue, we will lock this "why can locked topics have comments posted" topic! :)

[Grammar Rules]

Obama. Guns. Nazis.

There we go, now we have covered all the popular subjects.

But the administration should have a clean, quiet area for important matters, so that others, not inclined to muddle through all the noise could keep up with the important stuff you need to tell them. Posts not related to the administration of the board could be diverted to where you think they should go.

It was just a suggestion.

[mac]

oh oh, once again i find myself in total agreement with scarlett. i think that's 3 times in 3 days! i kind of see these conversations starting out as a bunch of us sitting on my back porch where we may start with the kid walkin' down the street in his hoodie in 90 degree weather and move to the young war bride across the street sun bathing to the car that ust drove by at 60 mph on and on adnauseum. if it gets tiresome to some of you just bring it back on topic or check out....simple as that...i mean, after all, these aren't classes or meetings, they're just conversations.....mac

It was a valid suggestion. And he's right, if we want this to be for Admin Announcements, people might not wish to wade through "the usual" in order to get the information.

But I don't want it moderated where we have to approve every message. I don't have time for that.

And for the record, he posted his question in another topic in this section and I moved it here when I replied.

Your back porch faces the street? How weird is that? LOL

Nah....I saw that car. It was speeding down the alley behind mac's house.

Y'all forgot THE most important one: HIDEY HOLES!

[xzochye]

Don't forget the mare.

[Grammar Rules]

Oh no, you di'nt......

[gnatsum]

Don't forget the mare.

Mare Corbin or Mare Hancock? Or are we talkin' 'bout the mare of Temple or Cove?

The mare that Mac likes to have uhmm "relations" with. :-)

[Mestral]

Grammar Rules is saddened by this post
Now, that is just plain odd.

[sojourner truth]

It's an old thing that nobody wants to bring up...again.
