When the moderators ask us to play within the rules, we should do what they ask. Its their forum. If you would take the time to notice, If I start breaking the rules(all of us have) and I sense or see the vultures(moderators) circling. I, out of respect for them and their rules, return to the rules and try my hardest to stay there.
This is not my forum or my rules. Its only my task to play within them. Or at least close.
In law, or business, all companies push the limits of their constraints. That is why their are courts. The ability to do this, is often the difference between success and failure in business. Its their job to stay within the laws intentions, not within the written law. Its a gamble They all take. A simple example is, the speed limit, almost everyone has a set cushion they travel above the speed limit. But if they see cops issuing tickets, they return to under the legal limit. (the smart ones)
Please understand, they have deleted as many of my posts as anyone elses. But I do not complain, its their forum and my task to learn to survive within their forum. That sir, is real life, not text.
You would do better to stay within the rules and use the forum as it was intented, to discuss monitors and not rant about your conceptions in human behavior. Example, Daniel is not banned, he got himself banned for accidentally breaking the rules, but he made amends. Ask him? Again, you should research before saying what you say.
I do understand why you fall back on name calling and game playing, its simple to understand. You get your information from text, and new text is few and far between. I get mine from the animals and even thought they are slow, I recieve new information on a daily, weekly, monthly, basis. Also, I only report what I see the monitors doing(however badly I may do that) which I believe, in the long run will always superceed, written text(another interpitation) of what animals do. You see, the more information is interpided, the more it loses value and is effected by the interpitation. I try to take it from the horses mouth then to here, as fast as possible, before it spoils.
It has always been my contention, that this forum is about keeping monitors in captivity, and from the recent fallout of deletetions, I think KS is telling us that.
Consider, KS, has heard all the excuses, they have hundreds of forums and all are full of people, like us. So playing within the rules and stopping the name calling(which your above post insinuates again) is our best option to make this a good forum.
Also, not judging people for how they want to keep their monitors. I do not agree with lap monitors, so I do not respond to those posts.
To understand debates on the forum, is simple, there will never be a winner or loser, debates only offer information to the readers. This information will either be used or not used. Some think they should win a debate. I think I use them to express my view. The winner is in the future. Some think, these debates are to entertain, that is also true. I think, they are like many things, more then all of the above. Thank you and stay within the rules. FR
Forums need more people like you, not less- don't let one persons bad attitude get ya' down, there will always be people like that around and by leaving you grant them their wish....stay!
