Love this Buck...really lovely...until you get to the "what you won't accept" part. If Rick should step down, I would vote for Alex. Sorry.

If Rick should step down as owner of FFL then I should be honored to take over the responsibility of leadership of this illustrious community here in his place. These are certainly turbulent times that require vigorous and extraordinary leadership. I would respect everyone's right to an opinion here and always edit this list judiciously with great empathy to preserve the integrity of expression on FFL. I should always note and listen to all opinions and keep this a safe and open forum. You could trust me. I am confident with all your support that I could steer our forum through these next times to a transition in a new era of positivity for FFL. I should start only as a temporary practical interlude in leadership to something better and will protect in the meantime the transition of FFL to a more civil, judicious and democratic FFL. As the supreme ruler of FFL I then shall gladly step aside at a future time when we have then made the transition. It is my deeply held feeling that FFL should embrace transparency, democracy and human rights, but in my view not accept categorical approaches to free speech and particularly not tolerate insults to spirituality. I respect freedom of expression but expression that is not used to incite hatred against anyone. One that is not directed toward one specific religion or cult. I believe the time has come for everyone's safety to consider action to crack down on speech that defames spirituality on this list. A supreme moderator is needed now and I should be humbled to take on that responsibility for everyone's welfare. -Buck, the Preserver
