I've abstained from joining any of these recent discussions hoping that all the crap would just die off.<br><br>It has gotten ridiculous with so many people arguing over how things should be discussed.<br><br><br>My personal opinion.. I hate moderated lists for anything other than job offers/for sale/classified etc, I really don't know where things went wrong but it went from bad to ridiculous quite quickly and I don't think anyone that's a part of the discussion is innocent.<br>
<br>So to the people wondering why no one was disagreeing with moderation they were probably just keeping quiet like me (not to mentioned during most of the busy time when this discussion was flooding the airwaves I was at work and could read but not post on the address that I'm subscribed with). <br>
<br>I'm aware that moderation isn't censorship.. but it's basically treating people like kids who have to be "ruled". I have no problem with a one paragraph statement about how to believe but it shouldn't be much longer than "be respectful and polite to each other, ie. no personal attacks or baiting".. and that's it.<br>
<br><br>Anyway that's the one and only email I'll send regarding all of this.. I was reluctant to send this but I didn't want the people pushing for moderation to be the loudest.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>pjk<br><br>
