Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Wow - this surprised me. It's one thing to have to tolerate a lot of nonsense for a paycheck. It's another thing altogether to do it for free. Thanks to you and the other moderators for taking on this task. Despite all of the unpleasantness that has transpired in the last couple of days, I'm sure there are others like myself that appreciate all of the moderators hard work.

I don't really want or need a pony, but perhaps Red Rider or Brandy would like one.

I don't want a pony either. I have kids and Vireo, I don't need anything else that needs to be fed or cleaned up after.

Oh don't worry Brandy, NOBODY forgets about you. We need a few hot babes around this place. We treasure each and every one. So, OK, who are the 8 others?

The pony offer still stands.

Reread the post. The excessive moderation of yesterday left us with no interesting threads.

I ma here everyday because I am a disturbed individual. There is no other explanation.

Keep in mind no one here is paid. The system in place works and has worked for many years. Sure there are problems such as what happened yesterday and guess what.....the problem will be handled and that will be the end of it.
As for reviews........If there is a mod that you have a problem with or see issues with then just hit the "report a post" button or Email Tom. It will be handled.
Feel free to PM me skinny if you have any questions you don't want to post here. My mailbox is always open.

What that looks like to me is someone saying something they think I want to hear, and then accusing me of being confrontational when I ask questions. All I'm asking is, if these things already exist as you say they do, what do I have to do to see them? Show me the elections, show me the ad hoc committees, show me the reviews. Who, what, when, where, how, why? Journalism 101. See, smiley, friendly, non-confrontational.

And we do appreciate that. The only reason we are here is to TRY to make it better. Sometimes things go wrong but it is never done for the wrong reasons. I know it does not always look that way though.

I was just reminding you that I was not the enemy. That there was no reason to pick a fight with me.....not that you were.

Show me where I ever said we had elections?
Show me where I said there were reviews?

As for the Ad Hoc committee......Yes, it exists and it has existed for sometime. There are many red star members as well as mod's and admin in this private forum. It is not open nor visable to the general public. It is not moderated and everyone is welcome to say what they want about whom ever they want as long as it is done civily. If it were open to everyone this would obviously never work.
So.....as I said before, yes...it is in place but it is in a private area.
No one ever said BF was a democracy. The system in place works. Sure there are bumps in the road but in the end it works.
