MODERATOR ACTIONS - Please Read

To all members of the Anderson Talkzone forum:

It is with some reluctance that the administrator of this forum, with the concurrence of a majority of the panel of moderators has deleted the following three screen names from the membership list:

Bic

the-puppet-master

Republikin

All three logged on within the past 48 hours specifically for the purposes of attacking both moderation and individual moderators of this forum. The posts that led to these actions can be found on the threads OBAMA'S TROUBLING INTERNET FUNDRAISING, Moderators, and Can Obama B.S. His Way To The Top.

Any attempts by those three - or any other members - to launch personal attacks against ANY member of this forum will result in the deletion of additional screen names if necessary. All three may appeal this action by asking a current member to notify the moderation panel, or by using one of their other screen names to send a private message. They were deleted with the concurrence of three of four moderators; they can be restored by the same. Do not attempt to appeal on the forum itself.

Two other screen names that will still be posting here have been warned about actions detrimental to the civility of this forum: Mr. Hankey and Citizen1. A third screen name, voice-of-reason, is hereby warned that further efforts to undermine moderation on Anderson Talkzone will result in direct action. All three screen names are subject to immediate deletion without further warning if they persist.

Anderson Talkzone IS a moderated forum. If you keep it civil and keep it on topic there should be no problems in the future. Keep in mind, NO ONE WILL BE WARNED OR DELETED BECAUSE OF THEIR POLITICAL OPINIONS UNLESS SUCH OPINIONS ARE SO OUTRAGEOUS THAT THEY ARE OFFENSIVE TO THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE (such things as racism, sexism, vulgarity, etc.)

We ask everybody to please understand that each of the four moderators also posts as a member of Anderson Talkzone and is not immune from the pitfalls of lively political debate, including criticism and/or political attacks. Each of us took on the role of "moderator" in an effort to restore and maintain civility and a reasonable semblance of order on this site - nothing more, nothing less. We will work to get "moderator" and "administrator" screen names separate from our member names to avoid confusion in the future.

This forum has been given a chance to continue to be a voice in the Anderson community, but that chance could be gone forever if we deliberately continue to tear each other down with personal attacks. There are some members who actually want the site to fail, but if it does, it will NOT be through their efforts.

                                                                                     - Anderson Talkzone Moderation Panel

Your decision is what it is. For whatever it may be worth, I agree with your actions.

But, I must admit when I saw "Republikin" on the list a "wahoo" slipped out and an adult beverage was indulged in with gusto! Let us just say I agree with that action more than the others. Smile

However I think she will always be here in one incarnation or another.

Many of our members have multiple screen names, Ron. As long as they can find one or two they can behave under, I think everybody's fine with that.

Ladies and Gentlemen.............What we have here is the end of this blog for the use of everyone. JD, Pappy and their merry band. Have used their power to delete anyone who DARE speak against them. SHAME SHAME SHAME. But JD being a former journalist, I would expect nothing better from him. That is what journalist do. Attack with the pen, or keyboard. You see, their is no such thing as an impartial journalist, ever. Their opinions are always there, influencing our thoughts and actions. Not that long ago we were all subjected to JD's goodbye lecture. Here is mine, short and to the point.
THIS BLOG IS DEAD. You have eliminated any forum for free speach, just because YOU don't agree with them. Suppressing the minority. How nice of you JD.
SO here you have it JD. You and your merry band of 4 shall hence forth be know as the SHERIFF'S of NOTHING LAND.

For those of you who don't care for this forum any longer, search for a new on. Maybe Mr. Hankey will create his OWN.

And, JD, don't bother sending me private emails. I don't read them from you or anyone else on this blog. If you have something to say. Say it here.

So read quickly folks, as JD and The Sheriff's of Nothingland will most certainly delete me and this post. AH.......censorship. Isn't it wonderful.

you are so gone! all I could find that Bic said was this!
maybe he was deleted because he had the misfortune to log in after republikin?

[Hankey, it is obvious to me that you will never accept the concept of moderation,-jdtippett

Mr. Hankey seemed to be very much in line with the moderation when it started until it became a who we like contest.-Bic

Maybe, Hankey, but the joke's liable to be on you if you continue to disparage moderation of this forum and the moderators of this forum. There is no "sin bin" for second offenders,-jdtippett

So what your really mean is don't come down on the moderators because we will team up on you and boot you out.
And BTY Mr. Hankey would never have been in the "sin bin" had it not been for good old JD shoving him under the bus for nick and AIM. Mr. Hankey has done nothing wrong.-Bic

Shall I repeat that slowly for you, or did you understand it? -jdtippett

Sounds like an insult to me. Maybe JD should use a little "moderation"?-Bic]

So.......
what do the others users have to say?

I once thought JD admited he was Bic?

Another thing JD and his band of 4, attacking a moderators actions or threats of action implied or subliminal is not a personal attack. It is questioning athority. That is what makes America great.
Maybe you moderators need to diconect themselves from their job and be more open and not take it personal.

Remember, JD. Absolute power corrupts, Absolutly...............

obviously, Hankey, ole JD believes only in moderation when it suits his agenda. This dude really needs to get a life. He has over 3500 posts!

Be assured, JD wasn't born in manger (like he likes to think), he is really from the planet krytonite. Sent here to limit the free speech of bloggers her on the cocklebur.

What a joke!

I guess it is obvious why Republikin got booted. Well, maybe not obvious to everyone, but if I tell you, I will get booted too.

Right?

Do you think you have an inalienable right to post here, or that the rights we enjoy as American citizens include unfettered posting to AndersonTalkZone? Do you think the First Amendment applies here?

No. Suck it up, follow the rules, or suffer the consequences....but, for God's sake, quit whining!

The rules here seem quite like NASCAR!
Kind of made up as they go along.

Seems opinions are pretty much acceptable.

IMO, problems arise when one poster calls another derogatory names, such as fool, or dumbass.  I've been called both by one poster.  It would have been easy to reply in kind, but that would only further arguments and bad feelings.  I would like to be able to sit down with anyone here and say  in all sincerety; "it is a pleasure to make your acquaintance."  

I've missed too many opportunities to be quiet.  I am doing my best to not miss any more.

You'en'es have a nice daySmile

JD did you get mail from Mr. Hankey?
I can not tell as it looks as though mr. Hankey sent it to Mr. Hankey but on the next page it looks as though Mr. hankey sent it to you.

By the way, Hankey - and this has nothing to do with e-mail or moderation, since you referenced this in one of your earlier posts on this thread - what in the world has led you to believe that "JDTippett" and "Bic" are the same person? That one caught me totally flat-footed, just because it's so wrong.

You've done such a good job. 90% of the posts have been about moderation and the God like complex you are emitting. Anyway, I doubt real political debate will happen here.

You've killed it. Go ahead talk among yourselves.

JD,

That's an old rumor that I'm surprised you were not aware of. There are/were a number of posters who believed, at one point in time or another, that BIC = JD. You may want to survey your own moderators group as I believe that at least one of them held that notion to be true too.

 . . . once upon a time, of course.

"JD do you use a BIC pen?or shall I say pen name?" -mr-hankey-the-d

"Hankey, JDTippett IS a pen name - one from the fancy Cross pen set. The other name is the one I use when I don't need anything other than a BIC to jot down a few quick notes. "-JDTippett

JD, Thats why
