I wish he'd name a s@%# for brains czar. Is it just me,or has evey little pissant dictator on the planet bitch slapped Obama, and by extension, you and I in the last three weeks? Say what you want about Georgie, and I was no fan, but Flung dung lo and addamadaguineadad were more prone to make apologies than receive them before Barack got in office.

Ole Teddy Roosevelt had it right - walk & talk quietly and carry a big stick.

Clean up your language as well Mater.  You can say you disagree with Obama without the foul words.  I thought reporters were well versed in using the English language.  Looks like I was wrong.

Don't be such a tight ass Mary. Maybe if you'd loosen up, you'd spend less nights at home alone, moderating how grown people express themselves.

Well friedgreenmater you have hit a new low. Such a big man talking to a woman like that, oh that's right you wouldn't know a woman if she bit you on your butt. Funny how you moan & groan about everyone who swears and yet you do it like its only okay for you. Guess you have been sniffing to much printers ink or maybe you were out in the sun to long with your tin foil hat. devil
Oh and how would you know if Merry is home alone or not ? Let me guess you gave up on stalking women in parking garages  surprise

Gee trolldoll, looks to me like Mary started it. She's a moderator and she's supposedly calling a poster out on his or her identity? As for profanity, theonly cuss word fmg posted was scrambled. Bitch hasn't been a cuss word since you got married.And I've been reading fmg's posts for a long time and I've never seen any griping about other people's cussing. So why don't you just ease on back under the bridge and wait for Billy Goat Gruff?

Give me a break Dune and Mater.  I may be on the outside in Anderson but I still have some clout in the state.  As far as whether I stay home alone, how do you know.  Have you staked out my house?  Who else do you spy on?  I have every right as a moderator to call you out.  If the other moderators think I have overstepped my authority, they can call me on it.  Also for your information, Bill McAbee sleeps very well at night.  As far as I am concerned both Dunebuggy and FriedGreenMater are banned from this site for two weeks.

Allow me to append my nomination for FGM's position of "Czar- s@%# for brains" with one extra pseudo screenname. One in the same....both are total jerks.

Well I guess that shows how level the playing field is here The above post by wyatt has the same scrambled word and nothing is said! Now does that show bias from the moderator or only certain posters warned by her! And no response yet to the question about "calling a poster out on his or her identity"? I guess this moderator doeas not have to follow the rules and gets to let posters who agree with her slide and come down hard on others?
 
OK JD you own the site, what say you?

-non-sequitur


merrymac banned two posters today. One blog name had no more profanity than Wyatt or Angel and the other made disparaging comments about the moderator. That last one was a no-brainer however, Wyatt & Angel (an odd blog name given her use of language on this and the Hankey's blog) have been allowed to stay on well past when others have been banned for TSO violations and sheer vulgarity. Despite repeated warnings from moderators telling those two to stop they are in fact indulged.

we're next!

Now come on Opie since when is " butt" a swear. Please find something else to complain about... I did not post any other word then that one ...By the way who cares if I curse. At least I do not hide who I am, to bad if you dont like it.  Did you forget that it is the year 2009 ?
   The reason I have never been banned is when I am given a warning I listen. Unlike the last poster who uses 2 screen names....

Back to the topic at hand.... What do all these Czar's report to and who has any oversight control on them? Obama appointed them, they do what he wants, who stands up for the public when there is a disagreement between the public and the Czars?

No One!!!!

What is this a herald of?

If people would spend some time thinking of this instead of petty snaps at each other you might be worried about a real issue. 

Thanks and have a great day!!!!
