At the founding of this discussion group, Rick set up a rule that the
posting of pornography would not be tolerated, either by text, images or
links. This rule has been broken on numerous occasions in the past few
days. If corrections are not taken, we must assume that the rule has
been changed and we therefore deserve an explanation from the moderator.
Instead of calling the police, Buck, it would probably be better to
appeal to the moderators to do their jobs and just send out a warning
message to the perpetrators to remind them of their obligation when they
signed the the group member agreement:
*FFL Guidelines:
*/
//1) This group has long maintained a thoughtful and considerate tone.
Please refrain from personal attacks, insults and excessive venting.
"Speak the truth that is sweet" is a worthy aspiration. If angry, take
some time to gain composure before writing or pushing the send button./*

/8) Posting of "adult" material, either text or photos, or links to such
materials, is prohibited. Violation of this guideline may result in
expulsion from the group./

I welcome your arrival. Hopefully you can help us mediate and even
help revive all that was once really good about FairfieldLife as a
Yahoo-group community. I am one of the longest surviving original
members of this forum and well know its ways. I am actually on of
the few FFL member participants on the ground here in Fairfield,
Iowa and I should be glad to be of administrative assistance for
you if you need help controlling this out-of-hand group. -Buck in

Maybe now is the time to remind all respondents that this is supposed to
be a family-oriented forum. If the posting of objectionable material
persists, the Yahoo Administrators may have cause to reclassify the FFL
group as an adult site and give it XXX rating. This would be very
embarrassing, to say the least, and could result in further actions - it
is unlawful to post adult material to a family-oriented Yahoo Group.
*Yahoo Groups Guidelines:*
/1) Don't violate the law. Members of Yahoo! communities are not above
the law, so don't post anything that violates the laws of your country,
state, province, or city. //

//2) Exploitative or degrading comments are not welcome in Groups. Also
not welcome are belligerence, insults, slurs, profanity or ranting. If
you wouldn't say it in public or with a group of friends, don't post it./
Dear RD;
Good Point RD, the ruse of these apostates trying to come back 'to
save' people reads much more now like the harassment of a people who
are otherwise comfortable having dealt with their own moral
dissonances within their own community in their own terms to their own
spiritual ends. Who are these neganauts to interfere with the internal
affairs of others any way? It seems incredibly arrogant on their part
to come in here and try to methodically disturb people's peace. It
seems now quite a hateful and shocking harassment to use such
defamatory language the way they do. Having learned their own
particular histories as they have related them on FFL through time
then sympathetically when considering these guys as sources of
anything spiritual they are quite pitiable really. It is a shame that
their abuse of the unguarded cultural openness of this community has
allowed them to take over the flower that was FFL with their
negativity and erode off our our more seasoned reasoned and
experienced membership. -Buck in Fairfield, Iowa

Barry, your recent use of crude language and imagery for the sake of
pushing buttons is just an escalation of your usual MO, which I
usually respond to by making fun of you. What I find funny is your
delusion that inventing an offensive straw-man (offensive to any
normal human being) in order to push "true believer" buttons will
somehow expose and perhaps liberate them from TMO/MMY delusions. You
never seem to get is how people respond to you is about your offensive
behavior, period. Apart from the fact that IMO you are a
narcissistic, self-righteous, self-aggrandizing human being, your
failed mission to wake up perceived cultists from *your* cult
nightmare IS NOT WORKING. You cannot fix whatever hurts from cults you
have experienced in the past by projecting unresolved pain onto others.
Granted, implying the police ought to investigate you as a child
abuser is a bridge too far. Let's just say you brought it on yourself
and leave it at that.
