Yeah - just for God's sake don't talk about sprinkling it on a cracker

It's always a good idea for your friends here to be on another site also in case something bad goes down. Or at least have their e-mail to contact them.

Favoritism among Mods is nothing new, nor a secret. I knew it existed and spoke about it after my own Banning, and dealings with other LPSG members who were excused for breaking the SAME rules I was accused of, although the Mods swore up and down that no favoritism existed. Truth is, the other person was MOD Protected.

If the solution to saving secrets is "exporting" the people that reveal them, than this site is no better than our governments. Praise to the people that are up front and honest. Of course us mere mortal members have NO control over the inner workings of LPSG, and will NEVER really know the truth surrounding bannings, warninngs and such. We only have the "lip-service" to go by, but I guess we need to read between the lines,
and dissect the excuses to reveal the truth.

Mitchy was a long time member, and his personality and behavior were no secret to the Mods here, yet I understood that they "recruited" him for the Mod position, yet BAN him when he excercises the behavior he was known for. We'll NEVER really know the truth, and thats exactly how the BOARD wants it.

Knock off the prima donna pontificating!

The rules change every time we blink, the TOS is worth less by the second.


Jesus, Mary and Joseph you banned Principessa for racist content/disruption then a thread- http://www.lpsg.org/172877-i-want-change-my-name.html is formed. Moderators were part of it! The thread wasn't closed or deleted- and I don't feel it should be. It does however make me question how the axe swings up in your pristine sanctuary. Ban one for racist content, leave a thread with similar content intact.

In the thread where there's a discussion of Principessa being banned, a former moderator several times speaks of leaks and favoritism among the moderators. He's still here- as he should be. mitchymo as far as I can find, never divulged a name. Just more blatant favoritsm being done by the moderators. Ban one for speaking ill of the mods, leave the other untouched. Maybe, just maybe, mitchymo didn't know the rules. Maybe, just maybe, the bylaws got changed as he was exiting the Moderator Booth. Perhaps, he wasn't fully comprehending of the rule, and why was the ban done in the dead of night? Was he given a proper warning to not do it again, and was the post then deleted to keep things safe and clean?

Coming soon- a spelling error will be cause for ban (of certain people), brownie points for others.

I guess FREEDOM OF SPEECH is just a conveniently used phrase and NOTHING more ?

According to a song from the Broadway musical Shenandoah, featuring Joel Higgins (later went to Silver Spoons with 2 actors who had great fame later) and John Cullum (before his character was circumcised on Northern Exposure),

"Freedom is a notiion sweeping the nation, Freedom is a sta---ate of mind.
woe woe woe..."

Freedom ain't a state like Maine or Virginia
Freedom ain't across some county line
Freedom is a flame that burns within ya
Freedom's in the state of mind

(Chorus) Freedom, freedom,
Freedom, freedom
Freedom is a flame that burns within ya
Freedom's in the state of mind

Freedom ain't a boat that's leaving without ya
Freedom ain't a place ya float to find
Freedom's in the how ya think about ya
Freedom's in the state of mind

(Chorus)

You can't get to freedom by riding on a train
The only way to freedom is right on through your brain

Freedom is a notion sweeping the nation
Freedom is the right of all mankind
Freedom is a body's imagination
Freedom is a state of mind

Freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
Freedom is a notion sweeping the nation
Freedom is a body's imagination
Freedom is a full-time occupation
Freedom's in the state of mind"

In other words all our freedoms at this board are imaginary, yes _____________ it's all a dream.:smile:

(of course that same show also gave these dreaded words, which many mistakenly heed)

Stand and show your colors
Let's all go to war
The Lord will surely bless us
I've heard it all before

I’ve heard it all a hundred times
I’ve heard it all before

And always, the ending is the same
The same,
The SAME!
The same…

The dream has turned to ashes
The wheat has turned to straw
And someone asks the question
“What was the dying for?”
The living can’t remember
The dead no longer care
But next time it won’t happen
Upon my soul, I swear

I’ve heard it all a hundred times
I’ve heard it all before
Don’t tell me it’s different now!
I’ve heard it all
I’ve heard it all
I've heard it all before

Which was followed by the martyrs, and Pass the cross to me-

Mitchymo. What a cute name. :hug:

 

[D_Andreas Sukov]

I think you best go and eat a cracker.

Can you reconmend a good cheese for me? I like Things like Roule' so if you work around that, that'll be great.

Cheers.

(am I allowed to mention brown sugar here?)

I wouldnt. Apparently im offended by all use of colour.

 

[Northland]

Yeah - just for God's sake don't talk about sprinkling it on a cracker

I see, no talk about triscuits then :biggrin1:

 

[D_Portelay Porquesword]

Because that's when Gays are most alert! :biggrin1:

No you didn't. Too funny. :biggrin1:


Mitchy will be missed. If anyone has a contact email, please pm and let me know how to contact him.

 

[AussieJoey29]

I like Mitchymo as a person too. Seems like a nice, well-educated guy and is definitely an attractive one!

I too would like to make/keep contact with him!

 

[Northland]

I wouldnt. Apparently im offended by all use of colour.

Well damn! I...



..am I allowed to say 'damn'?


Well fiddlesticks, I was about to play my Los Bravos record Black is black...

followed with Blue Skies and Yellow Rose of Texas for parts of my rainbow music show along with Red Roses for a Blue Lady.


(I most sincerely hope this has not offended anyone in any way shape or form, if it has, please accept my regrets and my views of a balanced budget which I was to hold in a church; but, somebody was upset by mention of the Bible, so we will hold it by the Rector Stre...


...oh:redface: Rector/rectory...


...back to my search...

















Oh, sorry, turns out my use of fiddlesticks, offended the Charlie Daniels Devil Went Down To Georgia Club (which is strange since Principessa is in Georgia, am I allowed to mention her in someone elses ban thread?)

 

[novice_btm]

The only ones that take this place too seriously are the Mod/Amdin team.

That's a little rich coming from someone who brags about having every Mod and Admin (save ONE, :wink, on your friends list, and rushes to add them, the second a new one is appointed.

If by blue skies, you were referring to Noah and the Whale, then you can say whatever you want. :wink:

No, apparently I can't. I received a message which said I was taking a dig at a poster, after the following happened-

I guess FREEDOM OF SPEECH is just a conveniently used phrase and NOTHING more ?

To which I responded-

According to a song from the Broadway musical Shenandoah, featuring Joel Higgins (later went to Silver Spoons with 2 actors who had great fame later) and John Cullum (before his character was circumcised on Northern Exposure),

My apologies to all who were offended by my mention of Pass the cross to me :redface: (I have to assume that's what the person found offensive, since my quoting words of a Broadway musical song, were simply concurring with the previous poster about freedom). I did not mean to step on anyone's toez, I tender to all my most sincere and heartfelt apologies, there'll be no watching Lawrence Welk tonight (I hope I haven't now offended accordian players:frown1

"Pecker is correct in stating that Mitchy broke no ToS by stating that he was uncomfortable on the team however he did break the moderator rules by discussing how others voted and his own interpretation of their reasons, which by all accounts are incorrect.

The decision to remove him was based on his having crossed the line in discussing the voting of the team. If faith is lost in a member of the team, or ex member of the team to the point where confidential information is being posted on the main forum, there is no other choice but to remove said member.

The mod forum contains reports, PMs and emails sent to us by members both former and current, many of which contain personal information of those members and members they are discussing. It would be wholly irresponsible to knowingly leave someone on the board who has shown that he can't be trusted knowing that two weeks down the line when x member annoys/upsets them, they could be next in line to have all of their mod dealings discussed openly with the membership, including things like full real names, places of work, names of relatives and the like.

The rules regarding confidentiality are well known, he knew there would be consequences for breaking those rules."

Sorry Indy,

I have read and reread his post and NO WHERE does he say "how others voted". No names other than his and Snakey's were even mentioned, and that was in context to poor treatment, not voting. It's obvious, even to us stupid members that the majority must have voted for P's ban,or else it wouldn't have happened.

Anyone can paint whatever picture they want, but this one was obvious.. A Mod resigns, posts that he did not agree with the decision, and was treated poorly from some of the other Mods, and he is immediately silenced. Poor decision making

 

[B_dxjnorto]

I have read and reread his post and NO WHERE does he say "how others voted".

That's what I got too. Nowhere did he name names. Ban should be rescinded post haste, assuming Mitchymo desires to return after the treatment he has had.

My apologies to all who were offended by my mention of Tattoo, the character from Fantasy Island, I suffered a Mr.Roarke moment.


Briing Mitchymo back so he can tend to this!

"Welcome to Fight Club. The first rule of Fight Club is: you do not talk about Fight Club. The second rule of Fight Club is: you DO NOT talk about Fight Club!..."

The tallies of the votes in Mod actions must reach a certain number for the action (ANY action) to occur. Many votes, but ONE result. As Mods, no matter how much we disagreed with an action, we are supposed to stand behind that ONE result. If Mods were allowed to express, "Well, *I* didn't vote for it", then by elimination, it would be easy to find out who DID vote for it, and make them targets. As a bad analogy, in an execution by firing squad, it was sometimes a practice for all of the guns but one, to be loaded with blanks, and randomly distributed. The idea that no one man carried the burden of guilt in the execution. They all carried the same responsibility in the matter. As Mods, we're supposed to buck up to that same idea. Even if we hate the decision, it's done by an approved percentage, so we agree to stand by the decision together. When you become a former Mod, you're supposed to maintain discretion on matters from your tenure.
