Somedays this place is to funny for words. No one likes it when I let things go, no one likes it when I stop things. Admins are always the bad guy. People bitched about Jeff, a person I don't know, so when he applied I approved him as I think he has a right to respond. People bitched about that too. Jeff has been polite and respectful and hasn't caused me any problems.
None of us agree all the time but I respect your rights to disagree. I don't like censorship but now and then I do it. Has to be pretty much over the top to get banned. Been banned once and come in with a new name and IP I'll probably let you in on the theory that you are an adult and should have learned your lesson. After that, no chances, no warnings. Just gone.
I don't believe in protecting people from their own stupidity so most posts stand when I ban someone. They had the nerve to post it so let it stay so people can see what they are and what they stand for. There's also a legal reason for it. If I interfere to much I become liable for what y'all say and then have to remove every little thing that MIGHT upset someone.
If I keep a hands off approach and let things be you are liable and not me. To me it's pretty simple, don't make stupid posts and no one will know how stupid you are. Think before you type.
As for sucking up to me. Good luck if you think that will help. It won't. Hell, I fired my best friend once. Fired my dad once too.

Call me names? Heh, doesn't bother me, I've been called worse.
Here's a url where you can get the forum software and run your own board just like this one.
SMF Forum it's free. Here's another free one but it's a blog.
Blogger. Can't afford to pay for hosting then do a search on "free hosts" and someone will host it for you for free.
Blogspot is free, a wordpress blog is free and so is hosting for those two. You can put up your own blog at myspace.com and at Yahoo, too, all for free. Don't like it here and don't like the way it's run then go to one orf those and start your own. If I was that unhappy, I would. Not only would I, I have in the past.
Play nice most of the time you'll be here for a long time with no problem. Don't be nice and you'll be gone.
Damn I'll be glad to see ice out this year.
