If you are going to start a new thread just to start trouble, don't.

I will trust that people will keep letting me on when this happens and I will keep closing them.

We are NOT all gay on these boards. We are not all white. We are not all men. I mean we are all different people. What's great is a level of acceptance.

Some get harsh against certain things but there is a line. That line was crossed when gays were referred by 1/2insane as they were.

I am not banning anyone, because I don't have that power. I am giving one last chance before I will give up the power to someone else who can ban.

Just please no more threads just to start trouble and no more gay bashing. It's just not right.

Thank you
Janet

Thanks Janet. I just got done reading that whole thread and I am disgusted that something so heinous was written by a fellow Fleetwood Mac fan. To quote Stevie "let there be light in this lifetime"...

Thanks Janet!

The actual thread message (text) was one thing, even though the tone was a little hostile. But when coupled with the irrelevant title and oh-so-glibly attached links at the bottom, I think that proves it was nothing more than baiting and (sadly) negates any genuine intent or issues.

And I appreciate your having to deal with all this crap all the time (and the same goes for the rest of the mods...). :wavey:

The thing I don't understand about closing the thread IS:
We, 99.5% of the Ledge community, were HERE, supporting each other. I see that as a VERY positive thing. And, we may have even convinced someone of their error in judgement. It's called free thought, and free speech, and that's what he, and we, were exercising. I've seen moderators get a little out of hand before(not mentioning any names{not you}), but I'm NO fan of censorship. And closing the thread was just that, IMO. :distress: No thanks.I understand where you're coming from, but I still agree with Janet's decision. I agree that free speech ought to be embraced here, but I think Suze said it when she said that the thread has already been done before. I think that it became superfluous quickly. :shrug: Besides, if there's an issue in it that you or anyone else thinks we could all discuss in a mature and respectful way (with some posters that is basically impossible) we can always start another thread, right?

But please don't regret standing up for minorities in that thread because of a comment made earlier on in this thread. I don't want you to think that you weren't appreciated because you definitely were/are. :nod:

Ok fair warning.

I don't read every thread but if I see one more "*uck you" directed at each other it will be bad.

That is really uncalled for and that is considered a personal attack. So please, stick that in a PM and not on these boards.

Oh I knew this was the way it swings. This isn’t considered bating by the female mod. Actually I’m not offended by it in any way, but I see the new gang playing the game.

Nice play along SuzyQuze. You’re assimilating yourself into the gang perfectly. That’s hilarious. I remember receiving an e-mail not long ago from (cough) a female board member. Crying about how she’s trying to find God. Mentioning how she understands about homosexuals being blindfolded to the truth. Sending me links to her temple whatever that was? Then the mails turned to, and I think I can quote with reasonable accuracy “Tee Hee, Well we can be more then friends, and nobody on the board needs to know about it.”

Then the sexual mails that “were a lot of fun for awhile,” but got old when said e-mailer started repeatedly mentioning, “the distance between where we both live isn’t that far.” I broke the contact before it went further, and said e-mailer had a tizzy fit. ROTFLMFAO. Said historical e-mailer has a life now I hope.

You want to hear something funny. Out of the very few females on this board I would have enjoyed getting e-mails from. Amber is the only one I tried to start e-mails with, but she never sent me one. A few of you ladies could learn a lot from that girl. She’s the real deal.

Hmmm....

I don't necessarily think the thread should have been closed, although I think it's okay that Janet did it.

Personally, I'm strong enough to be able to stand up to that kind of ignorance on my own and threads have a way of creating supportive responses to otherwise "offensive" material.

I have on many, many occasions wanted to tell certain individuals to take a ****ing leap- but, I'm pretty sure I have not done it.

I can truly understand where Mark was coming from, however, I think it shouldn't have been directed at Homie.

All in all, it's just one big :shrug:

You're so full of it. How dare you post things that were private and twist them on top of that? I was NEVER crying to you about anything. I also NEVER said anything about homosexuals being blind to the truth. And I NEVER said I wanted anything romantic with you. And also your segue into "sexual emails" is really poor since you know I never did that. It's very very very poor netiquette to post anything that was private to a public forum. You crossed the line with your baiting and you've taken another step over it with this nonsense post.

Perhaps the trick here is to completely ignore the baiters?

I, myself, have SUCH a hard time with that -I tried the ignore feature - but my curiosity got the best of me...

Anyway -I am making a pledge to completely ignore the ignoramouses...and not get sucked into taking bait :nod:

Oh, you'll take the bait! When there's bait, we all ways go for it! Like all that Elliott Smith stuff that went on a while ago! I was totally all over that and couldn't help but read it even though I was really upset by it. I couldn't resist reading it! Bait is meant to be taken. Take... the... BAIT!!! ;)

What's Not Cool:

* Contents of emails, posts from other message boards, newsgroups or mailing lists authored by anyone other than yourself. Personal feuds will not be tolerated.

Very true. Little silly feuds are fine, but this seems to crossing a line. That was some seriously personal **** he threw out there and from what I'm gathering twisted and fabricated quite a bit. :eek:
