Hi Lynn,

Thank you for your very kind comments, I am flattered!!! But uncertain I deserve quite the praise you've given. I personally find you someone to aspire to regarding your attitude to others, which, with my temperament? Probably couldn't hope to achieve, much-less sustain.

I'm no angel on here and I'll be the first to admit my emotions get the better of me. But I'd like to see things cracked down on too more and I think it's happening, but it's not pretty.

In my opinion Lynn, I believe that Russ and his authority and decisions on here should not be continually subjected to the challenge and defiance of ANY member/s. Those who do this, should at some point (surely?) be given a formal warning and if they continue? Possibly a banning maybe in order. This is my opinion.

I am really tired of seeing Russ have to go through the same explanations time and time again to defend his position and reputation and reasons for banning. We were there, we saw it, we witnessed it and know what happened. I think this is causing more problems and keeping the issue from ever being resolved or at least put to rest.

I do not envy the task of owning and/or moderating any forum, much-less this one! The cracking down on those individuals was Russ' decision and he had every right to do so in light of the personal mockery and slander, of his mental state/character/reputation - making almost a joke out of him on his own forum.

I believe that the decision has been made and explained more than necessary. Those who refuse to let the issue die down and continue to challenge and defy/ignore the explanations given for their bannings, in preference for misrepresenting the situation and reasons, should, in my opinion be eventually removed. Even snide and continued references to it should incur the same.

That is my opinion, but I am not the owner/moderator. I really believe this is causing alot of problems on here that should not have to be tolerated.

I totally agree with your statements. Things have been lax for too long. So cracking down at this time, may not look pretty for now, but let's hope for a better outcome.

God bless you!
