Well put----the threads that are now locked were way out of hand!


Thanks for doing that Rick!!

No, no, no Andrea. Your 'beer with the neighbour' proposal could be dangerous. What if we can't agree who gets to pay for the beers? Who's going to moderate that ?


Of course I'm joking. I open heartedly invite all my heighbours to invide me share a beer with them (they get to pay, of course )

While I don't completley disagree with what noneya is saying, as I mentioned in my message in the thread polling whether or not messages should be deleted, I don't think it's fair to accuse Rick of censorship. This is his forum that he has shared with the rest of us at his expense, both financially and time-wise.
I'm not trying to be a smart-ass by saying this, but if anyone doesn't like or accept his judgements on this, you should create your own board where you can dictate what stays and what goes. I am a moderator for a message board on our company's website, and it's a tough situation to decide what is appropriate and what isn't. As the saying goes, you can please everyone all of the time.
If anything, I applaud Rick for locking the thread as opposed to deleting it all together. It is still there to be viewed, he's just putting a merciful end to a topic that will not be resolved in this forum, nor I assume, was the purpose and spirit of this board when it was created to be one to resolve the major issues facing society.
Keep up the great work, Rick!
