I don't particularly agree with the really gross stuff or profanity but get a grip this is an adult site. What drives me crazy is the people who get on here and ask for and opinion or solution and then gets all hurt because you give an opinion. For crimeny sake it is just and opinion not from the lips of God. Yea I have a few years on me and a LOT of experiencs both personally and collectively to draw from but take what you like and blow off the rest. I have not seen comments or made comments I would believe ever said anything to anyone to purposefully punish or hurt them. I have seen posts suggesting others have gotten them in personal mail that would not fly with me. That said I am not going to candy coat what I think and OP asks for in open forums or they say they need to hear or consider to get to their, not my, objectives. I would rather give someone a hand up than a dismissive pat on the hand and let them step in front of a bus I don't pretend that I think anyone will necessarily listen or be "saved". What kind of credibility would someone expect if they worry about being popular or making points with the crowd. As many long posts as I have put up I have not seen an censorship of my remarks but I have been seeing a lot of editing and wondered what that was about? I think I would not play if someone violated most of the guidelines of engagement we agreed to to post here. So I kind of wonder what's the rub?

Great Pyrennes/Meremma were bred to live with the sheep, be part of the herd and they're nearly indistinguishable from the rest until a wolf comes calling. That's how I see the additional mods, they're still part of the herd, they're just not sheep anymore. A poetic perspective mate. Aye, and a common language. Incidentally, Buttons, I was referring to their "rules of operation" changing, not their character.

I understand what your saying and if you have not seen the attacks then kuddos to you for always being on the right threads. For you would be amazed at what is said on the Threads at times. Believe me since being a Mod I have seen things said that made me cringe at times and I work for a construction company all male. I promise you I can out talk the best of them and come back on a dime but when they make me say OMG they have really went off the deep end. I have had that happen more then once here. I'm surprised by some of the actions that some take and to the extreme they go. unfortunately I have seen some of what you speak of, my jaw has dropped a lot of times in some of these forums, I'm all over them myself. I'm glad I don't have to worry about it, I have thick skin and can shake it off. facts are we all wanna get all over them well most of the time anyway lol but who wants to read pages and pages of that? darn it can't edit anymore, I meant all over them (the forums) not the nasty people, I think we know who you want to be all over, the guy with the tootsie roll roflmao!!!! and ps hes just a friend i have a wonderful bf now..... yea that tootsie roll turned me down after i drove 220 miles he couldnt drive 60 to come meet me lmao his loss uh when i was single btw lol

So I kind of wonder what's the rub? not sure, said I hated censorship and had the impression they wanted more mods and didn't think we needed more and we ended up where we are now, but it's cool with me, I want everyone to say what's on there mind, anything, no matter if it is in agreement or not. The can even call me a sum uv a biotch, an @zzhole, dipchit, or say right on, I agree, doesn't bother me

I don't have any problem with any of their character, I'm sure they try their best, I'm sure they pull their hair out (don't do that TT, you have pretty hair) and wish some would quit emailing them over and over

And I still hate Censorship in any form, which is what this is really about. There, a drink for all that have posted or close anyway, I put it on the Moderators Tab ^^^^^^^^^ edit to try to even it out and still didn't work, it's an OCD thing perhaps It's not even

Since I've seen the sort of ugly powertrip some mods can go on, I can understand the natural wariness of people who've been around forums. That said, I've known a couple of the mods nigh two years and when I hear blanket statements, I naturally go into defensive, "vouch for," mode. ...Which coming from me means... almost nothing.
