Hey folks: Umpires and referees are often called upon to be "subjective." So moderators have to be "subjective."

The 4 we have, as I see it, are pretty straight. Given the tasks because they are seen as straight shooters. IBVa, is a lovely Democrat, and hard to believe, but she has a pretty good head on her shoulders. Pappy, another Dem, again pretty sane, for a Dem. Lots of wisdom and common sense here. With all respect, I say Sir to him.

Merrymacs -good, sound, logical thinker. I'll hold the door open for her and would hire her to judge a contest.

JD calls'em right down the middle. Has kept me straight more than once. I have a great deal of respect for his decisions and judgement.

No one is perfect. IMHO, if these folks call me out of order, I'll respect that call. And if you want this thing of ours to continue to be a good place to visit, you'll quit trying to be a latrine lawyer everytime one of them sends a cautionary comment your way. Seems to me all the warnings I've seen are really constructive criticism. Please take it as such

Thanks, Ed, from all of us. You'll have to remind me of when I've had to keep you straight though. More often than not, we're both off on the same tangent and PAPPY has to slap us down. Laughing 

By the way, I sent a feller down your way who's interested in buying a couple of those thoroughbred mules you have. Don't sell him any of your breeding stock, though. I don't think he knows his hinny from his hiney yet. Wink

'Diplomat Ed' butts into hot disputes, presuming that the combatants will welcome and appreciate his even-handed and eminently reasonable mediation. Frankly, Ed gets what he deserves.

Ed doesn't count very well. What happened to the other two moderators?

Also I don't appreciate your referencing me with a latrine you dumbass!

Really C-1, yours is the kind of posting most of us would consider inappropriate or unacceptable.  Ed was trying to help you out in understanding the role of moderators.   Get the chip off your shoulder.  By the way you can consider this a warning from Merrymac.

I will back up the rule keepers anyday of the week.

 

I respect the rules, whether written into law or house rules. without rules there is kaos (sp) and from what I hear no-one is squelching anyones freedom of speach, just asking everyone to be a bit respectful in how it's said.

I have always respected the four that have been appointed. Fine examples of debating and frendship after are examples they set.

 

Now Go Vote!

Another WARNING because I was flamed by Ed.

What does Ed get for calling me a latrine lawyer - A pat on the back!

Had Ed of portrayed me differently, in his closing statement, I would of answered quite differently but you don't see or understand that do you?

That's what I mean by subjective judgements being made by some posters and,  seemingly,  most of you moderators.

I'm beginning to believe that none of you know and understand the difference between Objectivity & Subjectivity.

I tell you what moderators .. Start telling  everyone to  'knock off the personal attacks'   and stick to the objectivity of the subject and you'll see a change in my responses.

Is that too much to ask?

Citizen1;  I did not butt into your dispute.  I started a new thread about an issue that seems to beg discussion.  I did not call you a latrine lawyer, but if you think you are and you recognize yourself,  congratulations on your perceptniveness.  Now I asked you once to not go into the name calling with me.  But if you feel it makes you look smart and me not too smart, who am I to argue?  Innocent

-ed-evans

Who are you to argue when you say one thing .. and then later deny it!

Who said this in your opening post?

..  "quit trying to be a latrine lawyer"

You said it! .. That's who.

I think you deserve the warning more than I do.

Hey look Ed, you've got a new friend ...

That is, when he's not busy with his other identities ...

Citizen1:  please read my post at the beginning of this thread.  It is "Hey Folks."  And "you" is used in a general sense.  If that, along with the term "Latrine Lawyer"made you uncomfortable, you must be feeling guilty about something, huh? 

Nowhere in the post did I mention any name except the 4 moderators that I know about.  Innocent

Oh, and as for the moderators, allow me to say they have a great deal of patience with you.  A damn sight more than most people would have....

Next thing you know you will be put on double secret probation. What a joke. Give someone a little power and they start acting like they are cool.

90% of the discussion on here lately has been what the big bad moderators will do to you. Who cares? Get a life. This blog is dying a quick death. so be it. It has always been a liberal form of the rick driver show anyway.

JD, calling Citizen, Wrongboy was definitely neutral.  Good job. 

Pappy, you seem to be posting a good bit to thank anyone for their support, are you running for something? They are the people who always keep a brown nose without ever going out in the sun.  You welcomed me with open arms because you are unbiased and open to all opinions, right?

 And it seems like a lot of people are just logging on to plus and minus without saying anything.  Wonder why?

(Hey JC and CF are we going to chat?Like old times.)
