By invoking Yahoo guidelines and HuffPo's decision to prohibit anonymous commenting, you are overlooking the fact that unlike HuffPo commenters and many if not most Yahoo groups, FFL is a *community with a history*, not a bunch of strangers on the Internet, as one FFL poster (now absent) disingenuously described it. If you can't or won't make that distinction, you have nothing of value to offer with regard to improving the quality of the interactions here. Ratcheting up the troll controls is an empty phrase where FFL is concerned. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Buck dhamiltony2k5@... wrote: Seems Yahoo!

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Eliminating the Ad hominem Post-count on FFL lets return to but35 posts per week
Ariana Huffington is a computer illiterate probably still trying to figure out her Blackberry. A lot of the late comers to computer seem to hate anonymity but it is as old as the hills. And so are trolls. You must not have read the letters to the editors in newspapers back in the day where they printed your real name. Thing is, everyone new these curmudgeons who were always writing in to the paper and pushing their agendas to get attention. They were the online era trolls. Handles became popular because with 300 baud modems you didn't want to waste bits on your full name. Nor did we want to waste bits on Dear, so the memo form was adopted for email and online posts. And if you have to use your real name, have you ever checked to see how many people just in Iowa have the same name as you not to mention the US? Last I checked there were 11 people in the Bay Area who had the same name I have. The sky isn't falling because the posting limits went away and I would declare it a success. Sure the first week there were a lot of posts but look at the trend, this week is more moderate. We don't need any fucking posting limits! Nor do we need any block chairmen to moderate our speech.

Friends;
But we got a larger problem in want of a better decorum for FFL: Yes, by the
virtue of the new Yahoo-groups guidelines being placed over us we should
directly outlaw the ad hominem and name-calling forms of argument as lower than
the lowest and directly banish those who use them here as the fundamental and
great threat to our whole way of life here on a Yahoo-group that they are.
Kindly,
-Buck
Yep these people have taken toll the life spark of FairfieldLife here on
Yahoo-groups with the Ad hominems. Time comes now to do with serious
moderation or surely let the list die entirely. Seems a time has come for
action one way or the other. Radical action. Resuscitation or it dies.

Yes, by stark contrast certainly the best writing and exchange on FFL was in a time when the post count was limited to 35 per week. This list cries out for a limit to abuse and a strong hand of moderation. A strict speed limit of 35 posts per week. -Buck In a message dated 08/23/13 16:55:50 Eastern Daylight Time, dhamiltony2k5@ writes: Dear Rick, the post-count experiment as a noble hope is clearly failing.

You sound like an old woman with excess stomach acid. Hey, how about an old man with excess stomach acid? Actually, Buck's shtick is getting a bit old and particularly tedious for a number of reasons. Part of me wants to believe he's putting us on and part of me is terribly afraid he's serious. Whatever it is I have to agree with you on this one. Buck doesn't read the complaints. Somebody he respects needs to tell him his continual self-righteous mewling is counterproductive. It makes me want to go ad hominem the daylights out of somebody, and I doubt I'm alone. ***I'm on it. Just start your own forum so you can rule it as you choose. Not willing?

Kindly, -Buck Yep these people have taken toll the life spark of FairfieldLife here on Yahoo-groups with the Ad hominems. Time comes now to do with serious moderation or surely let the list die entirely. Seems a time has come for action one way or the other. Radical action.
