Had to laugh - dunno how FFL could have 2 - I vote for going back to no
moderator status for the group - still can't believe Rick caved into Buck's
need to be some sort of controller.

I think, mjackson74 should be made a moderator. He can be a
good counter-balance to Buck.
Is mjackson74 willing to be a moderator?

Re this new FFL regime where members are banned after posting offensive
messages. There's a division between those, like me, to whom an insult on a
topical website simply makes me shrug my shoulders - like water off a duck's
back, to mix my metaphors; and those to whom FFL is a "spiritual" site and
members should have a certain, minimum consideration of the feelings of those
they disagree with.
Here's the thing: there used to be a rule that those who posted too many
messages over a period would be banned from the site for a week or whatever.
Now that Buck has volunteered to be the site's censor why not allow him to ban
someone who is offensive for a week at a time (not permanently)? That way
anyone who persistently abused others would, as persistently, be banned from
posting to the site. Would that not be a reasonable compromise?
One difference from the rule when posters were ostracised for too many messages
is that that sanction was automatically triggered when the counter indicated
someone had got too fond of the sound of his own voice. Whether someone is
offensive is clearly a subjective judgement. Buck has taken on the role - isn't
he a true believer? So won't he come down hardest on those who take a more
sceptical view of TM and MMY? But setting aside that issue - Buck is the one
who volunteered to take on the role, and I wouldn't like the job! - wouldn't my
"modest proposal" be an acceptable solution?

It depends on what you mean by "offensive".
I found "Back for more" really offensive for spending three days slagging off
Xeno for having the temerity to post a series of logic and reasonable arguments
against Buck's first putsch. I could have been all nicety-nice about it but
what's the point? If someone is so pathologically clueless they spend days
attacking someone in exactly the sort of way that they claim drove them away
from FFL in the first place they are going to be too self-centred to notice any
subtle inflexions that I could impart.
Personally I think behaviour like that ought to be self-moderating in that if I
was called on such rank hypocrisy I'd be too embarrassed to show my face here
for a month. But here they are already commenting on this very post with
another round of sneering, lying, goading and insulting. Some people are just
too full of themselves. Go figure....
