Re: Moderator's last word

[Guest guest]

Look, to anyone wanting to perpetuate the issue...as I've said many

times before, as I just FINISHED saying, if you don't like

something, take it up with the person privately. I'm NOT running a

day care here.

If you want a list that bans every personality YOU don't like, feel

free to go find that list. If, on the other hand, you want ME to ban

people on THIS LIST that YOU don't like, then try to remember that

I've already been in court once for not banning some of the people

on this list, even those who've attacked me the most. Do you really

think I'm going to start banning people now? We've already had a

list closed down because I refused to ban. It's SO convenient to

forget that.

That IS what I'm really being told here. That banning is the only

option I have to try to keep some people happy, since even though

I've already tried to step-in on certain people's behalf by asking

Tony to tone it down (a fact that's being ignored) and since, when

you get right down to it, people rarely change their patterns, no

matter how subtle or overt, including people who jump into these

arguments or people who hold grudges, and since nobody can agree

100% on who's " good " and who's " bad " , or who's " right " and

who's " wrong " then I'd rather just ban EVERYBODY.

Not EVEN kidding. I have ZERO patience left for this after all these

years. Don't we have much more serious things to deal with than

personality issues and bickering? I've made my meager attempt at

amateur peace brokering here. As far as I'm concerned, it would be

SO much easier to just worry about getting myself well. And probably

the much smarter thing to do.

Think about it, if I WERE suddenly inclined to appoint myself an all-

knowing judge of character, banning people on an individual basis,

it's only logical that the people who've called me names would

probably go before the one's who've actually helped save my life, or

paid my legal fees allowing this forum to stay open.

In my book, nonjudgement and tolerance works both ways, applying

equally to all, even to those who ARE judgemental and intolerant. I

support everyone's right to their opinons, even their negative

opinions about me, but I don't support anyone's requests to ban

anyone from this list. It's gonna take something REALLY extreme to

force me to take that kind of action. So don't waste your time, or

mine.

As far as I'm concerned, you actually CAN waste space on this list

arguing about this nonsense. IMO, it's your constitutional right. I

just HOPE you'll use the good sense NOT to.

who recognize this obvious fact).
