Okay... We all know RRMB has banned a lot of good folks...

[Mod2]

...but I think it is time to ask that we not bash RRMB any further.

We're all happy that y'all have landed here, and certainly you should encourage your RRMB friends to join us here, but I think that further commentary about moderators or admins there ought to end now.

Not that I approve, but I think we've said all that needs to be said.

Okay?

[KyndCulture]

Does the same hold true with DU?

[BigJerr]

But I think everyone has enough info on the situation right now. I respectfully ask that we get back to issues on AAR's show topics. We still have to get back to discussing on AAR. I do understand the fact that many people have been burned at RRMB but we still have an election coming up an other topics to discuss; such as those mentioned on the shows.

As far as DU the above holds. People are going to come here "to blow steam" but after a point they should get back to the needs at hand. Also, later in the day there's going to be an announcement on the supposed "board wars"; namely there aren't any!

[zatoichi1]

I agree.

But there are others who were burned pretty badly.

I, for one, have no substantive complaint as to how I have been treated.

But I feel the pain of others.

Of course there aren't any board wars. There are board purges however. I've respected your wishes unless someone asks me a direct question and the I just take it to PM.

I don't wish this to be a bashing board, there's enough of those. I've been posting news all day.

The thread about her talking about the board perked my ears because if she dares to say one word about me she will be speaking to my lawyer.

Well, how about the insult of not being considered mature enough to make up your own mind about certain sources' credibility/acceptablity or not?

Just sayin' , Z.

[KyndCulture]

I don't thing we have those problems here.

My understanding from Big Jerr is don't just post a link, post a link and discuss why you posted it.

Now that's a quite reasonable policy in my mind.

My comment was for the board mods and admins.

As for some of the people that gave me a hard time, that is the way it is on message boards.:o Though there was a bit a selective ignorance and fantasy there.

As far as that is concerned, I have avoided inviting those people.

Well sure it is.

And most the posters at RRMB who posted any "controversial" links did so supporting posts, and were quite willing to discuss any objections to them.

As it SHOULD be, IMHO, if you consider yourself to be of a liberal or progressive bent.

I'd think so.

We all know the character of the DU Admins and Mods by now! Further comment is simply "piling on".

I'm not saying that anybody is prohibited from discussing these things, but I'd really like to redirect the conversation to taking back power in this country. The time to deal with the sort of DLC goons who ban good progressives from web forums is AFTER we are in control, not before.

My question in any of these discussions in the future will be;

"How is this helping us win the election?"

^Its all true and they're assclowns for allowing it to happen. It should be titled the Carmenjonze message board.
:icon_evil:

[TheBoss(DCA)]

I think we need to clearly define what a board is. I read the annoucement but it's still to vague. At keast for my pint sized brain to handle.
