Mike, I have played sports and I have refeered sports, sometimes bad calls are made and either you sulk or suck it up and play on. The team is more important then the individual. The posts I deleted 3 from Maxx & 4 from you was in my opinoin low blows. All I can say if you did not agree with some of my deletions is to say I am sorry.

It will not be me who decides if a ban - red card is made - I do not have that power. But Mike, do you not think that if enough members start grumbling, action will take place? I hope you see that I am not name calling or talking down. I am not cursing. I do not have the ability to right any wRONgs - eventhough I have been placed into the middle of the wRONg doings. I am just the janitor cleaning up the mess.

Mike
If you dont let go of this you are going to lose many friends.
Speaking purely for myself, I have had enough of this stuff.
If you want to single-handedly wreck what is left of a noble and worthy venture, you are doing well so far.
For folks looking in , we must present a very pathetic image about now.
Enough is enough
Thank you in anticipation

Yesterday I surfed this site and managed to stumble on a post of maybe 5 years ago. I think it had to do with
the transition from facebook. Anyway, I am unable to find it now! That was a lot of great information. I note there
was some kind of 'point' system established for infractions of sorts that were not relative to the intent of this website.
I think I am correct in saying this. Please advise if I am incorrect. (It is noteworthy that Maxx was the 'Global Mod' then. Long time.)
So, it got me to thinking about the latest incident. Most unfortunate.
To begin, the Mods do a lot of good (should) to keep the site functional ... fun & informative. Since this is not a 'pay-for-membership'
forum, why should a mod be vulnerable to any of the general membership? They don't need that shit. If a member has that kind of
life or death influence of an existing mod, then the resulting instability undermines everything else, actually all other things worthy of mention.
Maxx stated that he culled a few dubious posts. Was this not his duty as a mod? For 5 years this guy performed an admirable but thankless
job, doing what he thought best for all the members. And his ass got poached for this latest debacle? Resulting in his resignation.
Because of one relentless pissy, pissy member. Inexcusable.
The forum needs to refine it's structure. Discipline. Order. Immediate corrective action to counter any instabilities. I mean does
anyone still believe in good forum stewardship? The membership is across the globe. Everyone is different, the only common
element shared, the China woman. Religion & politics can be contentious. What I think, what others think, does not necessarily
correlate common thought. But the one determining factor that is a constant anywhere, is good citizenship. We owe it to ourselves
& others to behave decently.
Maybe it behooves Martin & his merry band of mods, in their self imposed diminished capacity, to recreate another 'point system'
for questionable or outlandish behavior of any member. Like bounce it back & forth with the other mod's. Then if an infraction occurs,
deal with it immediately, first with a warning & the reasons why. The mods decide as one.
At least be decisive instead of condescending.
Maybe this helps.
