FFL reflected Rick's open mindedness and respect for adults voicing their opinion in dramatic contrast to the group that most of us were involved with. I consider this latest change to be a version of FFL suicide by appointing Buck/Doug to kill off all opposing views. Once freedom of expression is gone it will die off as a useful place to post.
But your post makes you exempt from the FFL Dead Pool list, so there is that! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> wrote : For years, FFL was like an unweeded garden. Noxious weeds were allowed to grow unchecked, poisoning the entire garden. Then a new gardener was appointed who decided to clean things up. Of course, the noxious weeds do not like it. As far as TurquoiseB's expulsion is concerned, he can have little cause for complaint, in my opinion. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <curtisdeltablues@...> wrote : Thanks for posting this Alex. Perhaps Buck/Doug will share the rational here so we can understand which of his interpretation of the previously never enforced vague Yahoo guidelines Barry violated. In the spirit of Barry's sense of humor here I think the only appropriate thing to do now is to initiate a "dead pool" list of who is going to be next in the the current purge. 1. Salyavin808 for his last brilliant, scathing indictment of Buck/Doug 2. Michael for his consistent efforts to put his finger in the eye of the pompous powers that be in the movement. 3. Me for trying to focus my lens more and more precisely on what it is that I object to in Buck/Doug's misuse of moderator power here. (I am speaking about his threat to Barry for stating his opinion of David Lynch, not for getting banned. Until he reveals it I don't know what his reasons were for that.) Game on! Who will be next? ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <j_alexander_stanley@...> wrote : I have zero idea what's going on, but I'll at least let him say goodbye. ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: TurquoiseBee <turquoiseb@...> To: Alex Stanley <j_alexander_stanley@...> Sent: Friday, June 19, 2015 5:46 AM Subject: Alex, can you post a question to the forum for me? It appears that Doug has gone ahead with his threats and has deleted my access to Fairfield Life. I'm just wondering how he justifies doing this based on supposedly "offending" posts of mine made back in May when on June 9th in post #416493 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FairfieldLife/conversations/messages/416493?soc_src=mail&soc_trk=ma he explicitly said: In moderation at this point I feel “the past is a lesser state of evolution” and I am going forward with a clean slate on everyone and not one is on moderation in any way from this point. I would only suggest in our going forward that folks take the time to actually read the Yahoo-groups guidelines if they want to continue fluidly posting on FFL. We should appreciate your cooperative collaboration on this. -JaiGuruYou! Seems to me there is more than a little hypocrisy, double-dealing, and outright dishonesty going on here, and since Doug has eliminated the possibility of me bringing this question up to the group myself, I figured I'd ask you to do it for me. Thanks for everything. You have been more than fair in all of your dealings with Fairfield Life and with the odd group of characters who have posted there over the years. I wish that sense of fairness and honesty was equally present in the newest moderator. Barry...ooops, do I get in trouble for using my own real name? :-) P.S. To everyone else, so long and thanks for all the fish...
