Not to break into a burgeoning fleshpile thread but... I've got something to say here as well!:wink:
Since he already has broken up the fun, and since my post pertains to his first post to this thread here it goes:

All legitimacy springs from the board owner. And his legitimacy lies in paying the hosting bills and having the passwords.
Welcome to the Tyranny of the Internet.
But I still think this board would be trendier were there some mechanism for throwing members Off the Island. Not moderators, in particular, but anybody who deserves it.
big_dirigible, if there were such a "mechanism" that you speak of, I'M quite sure that you'd be the first "off the island"!
Also... such brazen talk from the established "puppychow"!:wink:
I would never be so brash as to tell someone to leave, but perhaps you'd find your kind of "Tyranny" elsewhere on the 'net?
Like mercurialbliss and madam_zora said in the Stronzo Was Banned? thread:
What are you here for... but to shit all over everybody here, and this site?
On the Moderators issue, and as a "noob"

:
I've 'researched' some of the history of LPSG (particularly what happened to DMW), and since the Mods were appointed around that time, I know a little about how all that went!
I have no problem as to how they were selected - the Mods themselves - or to why some are less than fair sometimes! (I have issues with Lex at the moment!:wink
Perhaps it would be good to rotate them every now and then to help them keep perspective and from becoming (or seeming) intimadating to newer members, and ALL members for that matter! I find that I like most of them (Pecker esp.:smile

, and that they are fair the great majority of the time!
I do however feel like Alex8 felt (when he was going to leave), and feels in his first post to this thread... some of them have been a bit draconian in their actions (that I've seen anyway) I'll go ahead and name the one that I feel has unfortunately been this way sometimes (perhaps he was speaking on behalf of the Mod team, in the things that I've disagreed with), but he HAS posted some rather unfair and harsh sounding things in his own posts! That Mod is Lex! Perhaps "red letters" are in my future, but I have more thoughts on him that I'm going to share elsewhere on this site coming up....
Big "D" and puppychow: I guess I'm becoming as brazen as you guys after all?
