In moderating the unkindness here on FFL, frankly I would urge Rick as the owner and supreme leader here to be much quicker to suspend the ad hominem as abuse and the unkindness it is when it occurs here. For instance, I should urge Rick as moral compass here to start with the instigators of the mean-girl-ing that has been going on here. It is unbearably unkind as it has gone on in form and could certainly terminate our whole group as it runs up against the Yahoo-groups guidelines. As its own form of hooliganism this is now the time to save FFL and put an end to the culture of the bad-girl-ing ad hominem that has charged in on FFL. Rick, as your friend and support in this I urge you to use a strong hand on those unkind trying to post on FFL. Be firm with this hooliganism on FFL, -Buck in the Dome

There is a very real and present danger to the whole FFL group letting this writer and some of these other people write their hateful unkind abusive speech here. It is time. Already done. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <Buck> wrote: Thanks Rick.

This here is about the survival of our FFL list. Dear FFL, now more clearly than even before it is getting to be time to avert the danger of ultimate termination to our FFL group community before it becomes too late. Shutting the Fairfieldlife forum down has been tried by subversion like this before. We must act to protect ourselves. I call upon the moderation of this community to close the membership of this hooligan 'indifferent_netizen' masquerading such hateful thought on the pages of our FFL. -Buck
