Lowedown,

Touche'! Point taken - almost. Please note that I didn't call any guy a girl. It's the behavior - acting like girls in junior high school. That's supposed to be a difference with a distinction. I agree that if you've got a beef with someone, be clear and direct; don't make vague generalizations. I like to think that's what I do. My observation is a general one, so that's why I made it general instead of a specific complaint to Todd, Stam, Jake, Vince, and whoever else is playing this game.

I don't favor a "no tolerance" policy, and I don't think it has to be "no holds barred open season." People worth having around on a web site are those who are intelligent enough to conduct themselves according to a set of rules, even rules for disputes and fights. Mods fill the gap when people won't follow the rules. Remember, the value of any web site is its content, so the material people contribute and how they contribute should add value, not detract from it. I try to follow that policy for the most part, and it seems to work for me.

Yes, my avatar got all FUBAR during the system change over a year ago last New Year's. It didn't survive the change at all this time. I'll try to put up a new one when I have some time to waste.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
