First, as I've said, what I do here, what I 'show' of myself, is only a small part of who I am.

No, you really haven't. Because no such posts even exist.
You clearly have me confused with someone else.
Would be nice if you backed up your imaginary widdle claim, but we both know you can't.

Believe it or not the amount of PN threads doesn't bother me. Most of them are obnoxious, a lot of them are boring to me and occasionally he posts something that has a point/is relevent or interesting. I have the power to respond or not, and I have the power to read or not. So I can choose what _I want to do and how much of that PN stuff to expose myself to, I have the power. So it doesn't really concern me all that much. I think that the more people are here the more interesting the place is, as a general rule.

This is the only board on which I post where there is no moderator, of any kind, at all. 99% of what PN posts would be zapped on sight, and he'd likely be banned a long, long time ago.
But not here.
It is what it is.

In my experience, it's when boards get moderators that they go downhill. Because some faction always starts to play favourites, and another mod goes power crazy with banning people the moment someone speaks against them.

Then I've been lucky. The other forums I frequent don't have such power mad mods, and I've been posting on them longer than here. They're a bit more family friendly, and a time or two, I've been wrist slapped, but not unjustly. Never had a warning or been censured. But to each their own. We choose to visit here, or not. As Riona says , just ignore what ya don't like.

Hopefully my last post ever in RWED. Over the past few days, I've heard from almost ALL the voices I have respected and enjoyed in my time here (!), whether those of you who were kind enough to respond to my post here or those of you who contacted me privately. It's been a bit of a shock; I really thought most of you were gone for good--which serves me right in some cases for not hanging out anywhere but RWED.
It's been kinda painful to hear from people, to know they're still "out there" when I thought they were long gone, but at the same time to know the only way to stay in touch is to return to RWED, which I really don't want to do. So this morning I made a decision, which I may regret...or not. I'm moving to Talk Story. I'm probably going to post mostly videos and talk about my dogs, since they are a large focus in my life, as well as hoping that some "real world events" are kosher to discuss over there, and I am going to do everything in my power to avoid EVER talking about politics. Maybe I'll see some of you there...I sure hope I do, as the opportunity to stay in touch and enjoy your company does mean a lot to me. My worry is that even there I won't be able to avoid the nastiness I've become accustomed to here, but it's a chance I'm willing to take.
As an aside; I've been on forums of both kinds, some where the Monitor Problem has been just as described, others where monitoring has been a godsend and never gotten in the way. I wish this place were the latter, but as has been said, it is what it is. Being a big believer in "all things in moderation", I long wished there was moderate moderating here, but that's neither here nor there.
So anyone sick of what RWED has become (and interestingly, virtually everyone who posted/PM'd me has expressed feelings almost identical to mine where that's concerned), I'd sure love to join you over there, on any subject you wish (EXCEPT politics!). I hope the rest of you enjoy what RWED has become for as long as it gives you whatever it is you're looking for.

I've liked the no moderator thing, because I know what Byte means, they get in the way because there is no such thing as a completely unbiassed person, even people who are well rounded and like to stay out of others' business can become a little power mad or let their personal feelings interfere with their moderating duties. I like not having a moderator.

I don't think it's too much to ask for folks to be made to back up their claims when bearing false witness against another. Most effective board w/ rules against such things aren't too unreasonable.
What we have here are simpletons who can't debate issues, so they accuse others of being all sorts of vile and ugly things.
That sort of nonsense wouldn't be tolerated on most boards.
