Yes a general shutdown of posting to FFL but, One of the most urgent uses of FFL for scholarly purposes is research into mining of the archive of FFL. The amazing archive here tells a back-story of a community. Is there a way (?) to keep the search function of the archive and also the files section open whilst shutting off posting to FFL for a while in the FFL groups settings?

Let thy people re-pattern their lives silent as a period of time to reflect elsewhere. Time for a re-groove, a retreading of the tires of the forum that is FairfieldLife. It should be better for everyone and for what FFL would be.

Col Wm D, Leed IV, best in all till it may be cleaned up Rick & all. Of late on FairfieldLife it feels like that sweep of IS across Syria has spread and happened over FFL as an open forum. It is now time for meditation on FFL, -Buck Dear Rick, I feel really sorry for you that you are left with just this cesspool of negativity from the recent separation in the FFL membership. This is not what we had hoped for with the forum as we started FarifieldLife these many years ago at Yahoo-groups. It is not too late to re-think this forum as a place for healthy discussions to occur. I hope for a better future here, -Buck in the Dome fleetwood_macncheese@...> wrote : Rick, I am sorry, but a forum where anyone is allowed to suggest sexual violence AGAINST children, is not someplace I want to be.

Barry makes one excuse after another, about using this foul, sexually perverted, and unbalanced voice, and is clearly not well. This is no longer a healthy environment for anyone to participate in. I am all for differing opinions on here, but you have allowed one individual's mental illness to co-opt what could be a fun place to hang out, and I guess I am one of the casualties. See ya!!
