[QUOTE="SemperJase, post: 370216, member: 1824"] For the record, overall I think they do a great job. That does not mean I have to agree with everything they do. The thing that attracts me to this board is its overall civility. However, if you kill a thread because someone may step over the line, you may as will close the boards. But since this has been a self policing community, I do not think that is necessary. As a moderator of a politcal discussion group I know you can have disagreement AND civil discussion. I am not disputing anyone's rights about moderating. I am suggesting (as have others) that disagreement on the boards is not a bad thing. You also infer that I do not like the moderators or these boards. The 'like it or lump it' argument isn't valid. The purpose of this specific board is to discuss where to draw the line. Again, you should ask to close this specific board if people are not allowed to voice a differing opinion of where to draw that line. Now, I would appreciate feedback if I was out of line. I treated other members with respect and civility even when I disagreed with them. If you demonstrate that I did not, I will work to adjust my behavior. However, you will not find any name calling in my posts. BTW, I purposely do not visit Nutkinland because of its lack of respect among members. My suggestion is to deal with violators individually rather than closing entire posts. I have found that to be effective. [/QUOTE]
