I don't like to control people. The openness and freedom of FFL is its greatest strength. But it was also a potential weakness, and a few people took advantage of it. The quality went downhill and some good people left, so we had to do something. But still, That government is best which governs least. - Thomas Paine

After all you don't have to read every post and especially it is easy to see that a prolongated argument is going on. A moderator could always warn the prolongated argument people and kick them off. If they come back under different accounts you can then turn them over to Yahoo. There always seemed to be this group of people in the movement who thought Vedic living was something out of the 1890's with women walking around with parasols and guys in suits, bowler hats and mustaches riding bicycles. Completely bizarre. The complainers remind me of those types.

RE: [FairfieldLife] Llundrub, cool it
I don't want to start a war or anything, but let's look at this five post limit thing contractually. No additional consideration was given for the new rule, so essentially no new contract was made. Since the rule was placed after the present persons were already in place, they could not be said to have joined the group with the rule, so thus no rule has ever been made. Finally, I like this group, but it's just so many fucking electrons, and I'm not attached to it. So frankly I don't give a flying fuck whether you all kick me off or not. I like you too Rick, and though this is your group, I don't consider it you, so if you kick me off, I won't be angry at you. I understand why the rule was made, but since it wasn't really intended for me personally, I therefore again, don't feel the need to follow it. Lastly, I think it's a stupid rule. Because five posts is just too few. Any interesting conversation will have more than five posts. Just because those three main dipshits came from AMT and screwed everything up is no reason to invent new laws. Lastly. I don't follow the law. In general, or in specific. I do what is my nature. And if my nature doesn't fit in then cut me loose. Further irony is all the bouncing posts and triple and quadruple reposts from Yahoo itself as if to underscore the fact that limiting numbers of posts is a bogus idea. If I was mod I would play it as it is, as a fascist dictatorship and I would kick whomever I felt off as soon as they made me mad. I don't suffer fools, not gladly or otherwise. But I will give it a break. Let me just add that I work 12 shifts a week and on my one day off if I feel like doing something I'm going to goddamn well fucking do it. I don't have time to play nice or by the rules.
