I defended my beliefs, but i didn't make any personal slams or insults towards other posters! Quote one if you think I did!You are talking toot and attempting to rewrite history, don't insult me please as I saw what went on and in the end locked the thread you started, poured petrol on and enjoyed the flames of. Playing the ickle girly doesn't wash with me. Dearest June! You simply interpreted my remark as sneering and negative! I certainly respect and understand that some people prefer to visit forums that avoid controversial issues and opinions. I don't claim to know what someone feels in his/her heart when he/she says "we only talk about rubbish here". I like to talk about trivial or silly stuff myself at times.
I feel that some of Riotgrrl's accusations and judgments of other posters here were inappropriate. I agree too that some of the posts made about her were inappropriate as well. I would certainly gladly welcome her and o back, if they reconsider their choice to leave!

Anna Cut the play for victim it doesn't suit you. Your snidey comment about riot was on here, as I have already explained. If you can't follow a chain of posts please give up. I'm not giving you the chance to start more of your games on this thread so stop trying it on. It won't wash! Your vile thread is locked, let it die for the sake of Lin's board before you ruin it completely. I defended my beliefs, but i didn't make any personal slams or insults towards other posters!

I don't let my board get into a state like this. Maybe you should think on that. Maybe you should explain how you do it? Gee, do you think so?

All i did was quote someone without identifying him/her. If someone chooses to be offended by that it's his/her choice i guess! Anna Cut the play for victim it doesn't suit you.

Does this forum HAVE a future? I'm not sure. I'm absolutely furious right now that I've lost two good members including one of my most trusted and valued members of staff. I used to love this board and when I set it up it was specifically so that it would be different from the nasty, abusive and bigoted forums I'd seen elsewhere. Now I dread coming to it and it's been targetted by racists, religious bigots and now homophobes. I'm sick to death of it and I'd love to close it down or at least turn it over to someone else. No one seems to take the slightest notice of anything I say if I tell them they're out of order. I'm just so angry right now I'm tempted to just let the whole thing sail off into cyberspace. If I'd been a dictator instead of running things with a loose rein I probably wouldn't have had this problem. Because I've always bent over backwards to try and be fair to all my members it's meant that things have got out of hand. Well, maybe I am a weak, stupid person who's incapable of running a message board. Maybe it would be for the best if I just handed it over to someone else or even if I closed the whole thing down. Has anyone talked to o and riotgrrl? I'm HOPING they come back! I'm willing to reach out to them, but am not sure how as I'm not joining any boards now. Anyone have any ideas on how to reach them besides joining the board they posted the link to?

Maybe you should explain how you do it? Gee, do you think so? Positive and modest as usual!

Let's not rehash the arguments or point fingers. I don't believe that is the intention of this thread. What are the parameters of a board? What is good debate? I know there are lines that I will not cross. But I don't mind getting mad and being really passionate about my feelings on a subject. But if I feel that way.....it is only fair that a person on the other side be allowed to feel that way also. It shouldn't be a personal attack on me that they feel that way. Isn't this about exchanging ideas with people you don't normally meet in every day life? Getting differences of opinion? It doesn't mean you have to agree with them....or follow their advice or their ideas. You can think they are crazy, or idiots, or mean, brilliant, or whatever. Maybe you make a friend, maybe you don't. Maybe you change someone's mind or heart.....maybe you don't. I know that I have met people on boards that have become dear friends and important people in my life. If I had to wade thru a bunch of idiots to find them......I don't mind that price. I agree! This board is NOT on the evil level that some are on! Thank God! If it ever gets to a certain level, I'll be gone. But, I'm glad to say it hasn't gotten to that for me. ;D This is 1 of the most fairly run boards I've ever belonged to! It also hasn't degenerated over time. ;D

What the hell has posting a John Lennon song got to do with anything?

Am gutted that Riot and O have left, although clearly at least one poster wont be.
What a shame. I know where riot posts and will try and entice her back, I know she got increasingly infuriated by some people's refusal to debate.

I didn't see any personal abuse coming from Anna on the "scoutmaster" thread. Some of her replies wound me up a bit, but that's not the same thing.

It's people actually talking and not being told "shut up", "move on", etc., etc., all the ###*** that over time just destroys a board slowly. This needs to be talked over! There's a lot of positive ideas on here that can be tried! ;D

You're free to use my name in saying that.

"BUT do we really wish to entirely avoid or censure debates and controversies?" In the past the answer has always been yes. WRONG! If that were true, then vendetta board wouldn't be there. I FINALLY got to get out everything I always wanted to say to Wonder Woman and the same with her to me! That's just 1 example. Another example is I posted a lot of 9/11 truth stuff on here and didn't get censored.

Anna in her role as poor wee diddums is pretending people (I) have said that. I have not as the thread shows but well done on feeding her attention addiction, she will be pleased ( as long as you aren't a male gay)
