Bill,
Maybe this is a good time to meditate on impermanence. This too shall pass. From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 02, 2008 7:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [Zen] Sick of Flaming Cynthia, The only thing that can be done to stop the flaming is to turn this forum into a fully moderated forum in which the moderator - Al - reads and approves postings before allowing them on the forum. Al could also probably block some contributors, but they could get around this very easily by just registering as a different name. A fully moderated forum has a lot of drawbacks: - it's a LOT OF WORK for the moderator - it slows down posting exchanges - it gives the power of censorship to the moderator - which in this case is Al, whom I'm comfortable with, but it's always a bone of contention - there are probably more drawbacks that I haven't thought of... I think it would be better to keep the forum open and just censor the postings yourself - by using your delete key. Also, and maybe the best suggestion, is we could all help reduce the flaming by not responding to flames - which I am guilty of. I do that because flaming doesn't bother me. Not responding would reduce the reason to flame because there would be no indignant reaction to fuel the flames. What does everyone else think? Al, this topic keeps coming up. What do you think? ...Bill!
