And tell Stoner to quit editing and deleting posters' remarks - with rare exceptions, such as personal info being disclosed, excessive profanity and that's about it.

I don't always agree with how and what Stone delete, or why. But really Fred, I regretfully have to say it is his forum, and it is not my place to do more than give him feedback about it as you are doing here.

Ultimately, the only real option is feedback, or by voting with your feet.

If he thinks about what he is doing, listens and watches well how what he does affect his forum and why, he will eventually get it right.

I give him the grace of tolerating him trying to run his forum right. He is after all human and is allowed too make mistakes like the rest of us are.

I have moderated on DU; it is a hard job in ways you have to do it to know the pain of it all.

He's going down the << crickets >> path. Badeye and Mrs. Badeye aka WhiteSands will be the majority posting here - that's what I see happening.

Stone has taken the leap of faith to be civil toward me even though by now he knows I am very stubborn and not into changing my views unless given clear and compelling reason to. So I make the leap of faith to post here and see if I can share what I have learned in my many years dealing with forums.

I don't expect to change his political views of stripes; don't want that at all. I do however hate to see his hit and post count lowered, and posting community culled by problems with managing basic forum policy.

I would be very very overjoyed if I left this place running better and flourishing because I was able to share some of my views, learned something myself - as I don't pretend to be perfect or a know it all - even if it was still politically the same as it is now.

And this is a very conservative forum. It is not up to me to resent or try to change that. But as someone who cares deeply about fair use and this concept of forum, I feel obligated to help; hope for the best for all involved.

It is easy to hate and try to tear something apart. But it is far better - even if harder to do - to put aside feelings of like or dislike and to see what you can do to help someone succeed at something. It is just that simple.

Fuck off, ethel. As if you ever add anything but bullshit attacks on posters, when not bragging about your gambling addiction.
