[Hoot Gibson]

I think  there are people who take message boards and what is said on them way too seriously. Everyone is anonymous here. Old School doesn't care less what people say about me or accuse me of. I'm here for the sh!ts & giggles.

Accusing people of felonies in an online forum is wrong and should not be tolerated by anybody. Yes, in general people are anonymous, but most people also have friends and acquaintances online to whom they are not anonymous. When I requested that the lifetime ban that I had requested be lifted, I agreed to make a better effort to follow the rules.

It is tempting to engage in retaliatory name calling, but I am making an effort to stay on topic and making a good faith effort to follow the rules. I don't enjoy tightly moderated political forums, but I also don't enjoy forums in which members are free to personally attack people without limits. Moderators walk a fine line, and I don't want to make things any tougher on them.

At the end of the day, my enjoyment of exchanging third-grade level insults with people ended when I was promoted to the fourth grade.
