Mt. Man all the moderators on this site try to tactfully deal with situations as they arise. It is only after we have had the same conversation over and over with people that we need to be more forceful. If you continue to have concerns please contact Craig directly. No good deed goes unpunished.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

R I had made my suggestion to Craig in PM's and he told me he was thinking along the same lines. It appears he has changed his mind. so be it.
As was mentioned the only mean attitudes seem to be coming from others
"why the cranky have taken rule and think they should get what ever they want at the expense of the truly good people"
I couldn't have said it better myself. so I guess I am not a "good people" in your opinion?
"your constant nagging about it isn't going to bring the political section back".
what constant nagging. I only answered your question that now has changed. then tried to defend myself. has anything been done to the rule breakers in previous posts?
"There is no problem with presenting a different opinion. There is a problem with presenting in a way that attacks another forum member. But then, those most out spoken rarely see that distinction"
I have never seen the hate shown in politics to compare to the bashing I have received over trying to state an opinion. I suggest that you close this thread and we don't talk about it anymore. It is obvious that nothing will be gained by continuing this any longer
I believe we all should look into ourselves and see where the hate really is coming from
I understand that personal problems have taken a toll on some members lives and I wish them the very best.
lets go back to talking about the pretty flowers, join hands and leave this hate behind us
Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.
Someone who thinks logically provides a nice contrast to the real world.
"I solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same"

Bill's Grandson...everyone knows we have a history of butting heads, but I have never called you cranky, so why would you suppose that statement was about you? As for being a good person...I have not seen you in action so I have no way of knowing. But that doesn't mean I feel you are a bad person. Please...we have enough misunderstandings without you putting words in my mouth. Furthermore, my question didn't change. It was about attitudes from the beginning. I'm sorry you mistook it. As for the nagging comment, you have lamented the loss of the political forum several times now, not just this time in this thread.
I'll go back to hiding in my hole if that's what you want. It's the lack of respect for what is said by the ones who put in the effort to make this forum what it is, that made me want to quit to begin with. What doesn't kill me does NOT make me stronger. It makes me anxious, bitchy, and vulnerable...but nobody wants to see that embroidered on a pillow...Lisa Kogan...thx LXL...sorry i stole it from you! Ok, maybe I'm not sorry :-P

"If you continue to have concerns"
Only concern is to call a spade, a spade, that simple. No need to have "direct" contact with Craig, at least, I don't think so.
"people that we need to be more forceful."
Again, perception on how it is viewed. What does "forceful" mean?
Is there a test that moderators have to take before coming one? What is the definition of "tactifully deal with"? If a test does exist, may we all see a copy? Shut Up and Fish!
Yes. There is a test. They put you in a box with a bunch of monkeys and see how long you last. By the way Mt. Man, the moderators do not get paid to put up with this. We do it because we enjoy or used to enjoy talking to our friends in a civil way. No good deed goes unpunished.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.

"the moderators do not get paid to put up with this."
Put up with what? I am simply asking questions in order to get answers. I would like to know if there are 2 different "rules" for moderators and members. Whether it is officially ok for moderators and/or members to have "attitudes" to one another. Just wondering... Shut Up and Fish!
If you truly have questions then contact Craig. He will be happy to explain the rules to you. No good deed goes unpunished.

a bit late to the party.. you don't need the waiver to ride the sky chair if you are walking. Only bike riders need the waiver. The walk down is a different path this year and steeper.
POLITICS FORUM GONE FOR NOW
