I know why Archie keeps coming back. His little Russian dumpling is still here. Mrs. Archie doesn't know. Arch and Loony are together tighter than stuffed cabbage.

the question was in the first line, the commentary was an observation. in my opinion, it is no more inflammatory than her own post on the last page (#45). I'm not sure what point you are trying to make in picking a fight with me, but if you have a problem with my post, you should reach out to another moderator.

Man, we even manage to argue on what was supposed to be a positive thread. Yeah, I just can't figure out why lurkers won't post with us. We have become so divided here that everybody's getting on each others nerves. We've become: Dog people vs. Cat people Gun people vs. non Gun people Married vs. Single Has Children vs. Doesn't have Children Circumcise vs. unCircumcise Working vs. Non Working <<fill in the blank: man, woman, parent, SAHP, etc.>> Rich vs. Poor STEM Degree vs. None or nonSTEM Assholes vs. Tries not to be Assholes Democrat vs. Republican (and leave it to us to also be vs. Independent) It's a skill we have. And brought over from the old MSN <<drum roll please>> Posters vs. Mods And the beat goes on... la dee la dee dee. la dee la dee da (or something like that)

The comment was a little out of line, no? Kinda like taking off your badge and gun, punching someone in the face, and them telling them if they have a problem then they should report it to a cop.

On the bright side though, I think you have just made the proposed new Personals board much easier to navigate. Any idiot can pick and choose from the list, rather than trying to create a profile page for themselves. (And the more discriminating can automatically weed out anyone who just chose from the list. Win-win!

Dark that isn't a problem. We have 400 members posting a day. We are one of the busiest boards out there. (said in Stepford Wife voice) do you ever have anything constructive to add, or is your sole purpose on this board to stir the pot? asked as a poster, not a mod. you've driven me nuts since back on MSN. Gee, and I voted for you and everything.

We are one of the busiest boards out there. (said in Stepford Wife voice) bolding is mine. and, as you know, that's why you had a warning bar - the constant snark and bitchy comments. doesn't have to be against the CoC for me to warn using that system and i will not hesitate to do it again.
i might add, no one else could see that bar, and wouldn't have even known about it. but you had to open your mouth and whine..
Why do i stay? well, i actually do like most of you I am often a lurker myself because i don't usually feel like talking. i tend to be somewhat of a recluse, actually.

Good evening moon/Laura , use it anytime you want me quit. That little warning bar is the admins way of harrassing someone without members and lurkers witnessing it. Not my style at all to accept that. There are people here I have read for 8 or 9 years now and it is hard for me to quit but I will rather than accept that.

You should come out and play more often Moon. Don't let the boards just be a headache for you, make use of the good parts too. How can we convince the other lurkers to post when the owner rarely posts?
I can't post emoticons to show those are suppose to be lighthearted comments. Imagine happy smileys wherever needed! Lol

I had a 50% Warning Bar placed on me last September, I simply got avatars to match the Warning Bar as it was coming down.

Gee, and I voted for you and everything. well, thank you for that vote. seriously. honestly, I haven't been around as much lately as I have been in the past. life has been crazy in my world, and it is what it is. the reason I asked the question you've got quoted here is that what little I've seen from you lately has been to either whine about moderation/this board in general, to needle a specific former mod (to whom you gave as good as you got, IMHO) or to just be generally snarky as moon also pointed out.....and I remember you laying down the hammer on posters you didn't like, back on MSN when you were a mod. not cool.....and I hope I haven't done that in my own time as a mod. I'm not sure if I just haven't seen any posts that you're not doing one of the above things, because I haven't been around as much, or if you really have just settled into a rut of being the resident whiner. but what I'm seeing isn't positive. just my two cents.

I'm not sure if I just haven't seen any posts that you're not doing one of the above things, because I haven't been around as much, Most of my posting today was on the thread about the woman that got arrested thread. Just bad luck where you are reading me I guess.

LOL I abide by the COC and TOS. I am constitutionally incapable of changing enough to say things the way you like or the things you like. When I don`t agree, I don`t agree. You guys like to dismiss my comments as pot stirring but they are my actual views.

I've got a question, and it's a question stemming from my own actual feelings, laterbloomer. I've seen what chiver has seen. You seem to be very dissatisfied with this board. If that's so, why are you here? If I felt that way, I'd be gone. I've posted on boards that didn't suit me. I left without fanfare. Just wasn't there anymore. Because of that, I'm actually curious as to why you stay. I'm asking as a poster, not as staff.

Not just here, but all the boards I am a member of... I stay because I like the diversity, and because there's not really "time" to develop "IRL" friendships due to my weird work schedule and some other commitments.
I have more REAL and TRUE friends on-line than I have in the real world here where I live. and not just by a small percentage... but by a LOT.

mmhmm this is a great example of what happens when I post a view you guys don`t like. We are spending the page talking about me. Shaun is the one that talked about the board being slow and he is planning to quit because of it. I made one reference to the response others have gotten when they expressed the same concern and not one of you has addressed shaun`s comments. My first post in this thread was a factual explanation of why I quit and came back, and why I stay. That is the topic of the thread after all.

I wasn't referring to just the posts in this thread, later. I was referring to any number of posts you've made in several threads. It's just seemed to me you're very dissatisfied with this board. I said nothing about the view you posted, so I don't know how I got included in those who don't like it. Are you making that assumption based on my feeling you're not really very happy here?

Also, laterbloomer, Shaun didn't say he was "planning to leave". He said he'd thought about it over the past couple of months. If he's planning to leave, I imagine he'll let us know if he wishes to do so. I'm not about to read that into the post he made. The boards are always slower in the summer. That's normal for message boards. This is also a tight little group, so it's not odd that we don't have a lot of new material. I'd certainly agree with Shaun that we need new blood, but that's a lot easier said than done without MSN feeding in from their various public sites.
