this thread should have been removed by the moderator immediately. Absolutely not. Everyone here is (hopefully) a grown adult and should be able to resolve their own conflicts. I'm not a babysitter. People are allowed to be jerks. I don't recommend it and I don't like it, but I'm not here to censor based on my opinion of what's "too mean." I delete spam, posts by wheelers in the Devs Only section (because I believe the sanctity of that area is just that important), blatant hate-filled racism with no substance, and, if it were to ever appear, any kind of child porn... and that's pretty much it. If a thread were to get out of control and people were being threatened and general insanity was erupting, I'd follow Lee's example and lock the thread. He never deleted those posts.

I second what E wrote--we can't force people to be nice to each other. There are always trolls, the best way to deal with them is to avoid engaging in their stupid little games. www.flayme.com/troll/has some good advice: "The term troll derives from "trolling", a style of fishing which involves trailing bait through a likely spot hoping for a bite. The troll posts a message, often in response to an honest question, that is intended to upset, disrupt or simply insult the group. Usually, it will fail, as the troll rarely bothers to match the tone or style of the group, and usually its ignorance shows. Why do trolls do it? I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful. Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too. For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response. Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny? Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!)."

oh i get it..quite clearly thank you. pictorial not necessary.(you quite like those, it seems, andy)
well, ok, maybe you all are right...but if so, why did the board go members only? why if not to curtail snarky stuff like this thread? is not requiring membership to post a form of censorship?(since that seems to be the issue)
apparantly it didn't work. not entirely.
anyway...censorship may have its place sometimes. but no big deal. this HAS sparked some discussion i geuss.

At 1st I was kind of surprise of that because no one likes to be attack or whatever u want to call it...But then I just laughed a lot about the whole thing.....and u know what that means??? that people notice u!! lol.... People here are true, u cant care about what others think and plus we need all kind of people with all kind of perspectives if not this would be very BORIIIINNNNGGG site..... maybe is time to stop being Laura Sweet and become LauraSweetandSour, so you can course on the asses that talk crap about u!!!hahaha....
