You got the power to slip them the mickey and you did it. Nobody "fell" anywhere you just took advantage of the situation to suit your personal whim. They insulted you and called you out so you got them back. You have a real taste for this power now don't you? Buck: had provided however it is unfortunate how they conducted themselves as they had in posting. As much as some here may assert that moderation here is something personalized about content but active moderation here is simply about alignment with the Yahoo-groups guidelines within a yahoo-group as folks write and contribute to the community here. Me: This is completely bogus, we had no problem with yahoo, you made this up for your power grab so you could impose your personal taste on the site which you begged Rick to let you do for YEARS. Buck:Take a moment to quietly re-read the yahoo-groups guidelines. They are quite reasonable and well thought by Yahoo as guideline for communal membership. Me: "quietly?" Do you know that you are speaking to adults here? It doesn't matter how quietly we all re-read them none of it means what you are distorting them into. They are purposely vague guidelines, open to personal interpretation and most importantly, never enforced on this group until you hide behind them to allow you to impose your personal views on other adults who you condescend to by talking to us as if we are children who need your correction. You have never shown up here in an authentic way or generated a full paragraph of content that was worth my time to read. People who have "Fallen" and an instruction to re-read irrelevant unenforced guidelines "quietly" are two words that reveal you here. I am very familiar with this mentality from my time in the movement and you are not fooling me with this routine. Hey Curtis, have a look at Salyavin's posting of that poem. Looks like he is talking about his fallen comrades alright. In case you missed it here it is again. Sounded pretty dramatic to me at the time as well. "With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted, They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables of home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain, As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end, they remain. :-) (Poem on loan from Robert Lawrence Binyon) -JaiGuruYou https://policies.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/guidelines/groups/index.htm https://policies.yahoo.com/us/en/yahoo/guidelines/groups/index.htm ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <dhamiltony2k5@...> wrote : This Geezerfr quip is hilarious in its way. Poland? I had no thought of extending the civilizing influence of these yahoo-groups guidelines over to other groups. I serve simply as a moderator of Yahoo-groups guidelines here at Rick's pleasure. Conceivably I could be invited in to other yahoo-groups like over at The_Peak to help bring some greater inclusiveness and civility to the discussions there too but no invitation has been extended thus far asking for help. For instance Fleetwood over at The_Peak seems to have a group over there running quite well enough in hand within alignment with the Yahoo-groups guidelines. He has not asked for my assistance with establishing the primacy of the Yahoo-group guidelines there. I don't expect to annex Poland next under the Yahoo-groups guidelines either. -JaiGuruYou! ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <geezerfreak@...> wrote : The hypocrisy from Doug/Buck is breathtaking.
