Status check and poll on recent crack down

I like it, even though I "was" opposed to a change I think it is a good compromise as John mentioned and I think all in all "we" have been pretty good since the lines were drawn and I think it is a deserved kind of, "hey, I know you guys can be good so Ill lighten up a little" gesture.

Thanks Rich, as always I think you thought this one out very well and made a good decision.

Sounds very reasonable to me.

Probably should have read this thread here before i opened my smart mouth.
Did not know that i was walking right into the crosshairs.
So i will now apologize to any one and every one that took offense to my off the cuff remarks.
My intention wasn't to offend.. it seems that the pot had been boiling for some time before i stuck my but in it.
I would like to hang around if y'all don't mind.

In that case, welcome Christopher and I hope to see you around more often..... and you are right, the pot has been boiling for a long time and finally boiled over recently.

Your warning level is at zero, and thus far I haven't seen anything you have done here that warrants either warning points or getting booted out. People can speak their mind here, but just watch that it doesn't escalate out of control.

Welcome, Christopher: it was nice of you to apologize and I'm sure you will look before you leap the next time.

In my honest humble opinion the "enforcement" should be scaled down a bit. It seems that certain people can say basically whatever they want and it's ok with the mods. Whereas when someone tries to create a different view and or perspective they get bashed or are accessed warning points.

Wish I had a smiley for this one....... I guess this will have to do.

It really stinks to have to admit to a potential problem doesn't it? But, the turning a blind has seemed to work just fine so far.

Not at all. You have never made a sufficient case for me to take your gripe seriously. It's just the same old tune on that broken record you are singing that myself and the mods here MUST read each and every post so there will be no apparent bias in the way the rules are enforced. EVERY post must be read and EVERY rule infraction MUST be addressed or there is bias here. That's the tune you are singing. So of course anyone who has racked up their own stash of warning points will feel that they have been singled out and treated in a biased and unfair manner, because they certainly can find someone else who has done the same infraction but not gotten warning points for it.

The facts of the matter here just seem to be out of your reach to either understand or believe. And quite frankly, I don't see any reason at all to try to accommodate anyone who makes unrealistic demands of me. This has been addressed MANY times here and you seem completely incapable of grasping the facts of the matter. So you either have to get over it or just move on.

Does that make it clear enough for you?
