To everyone else — reading the forums of late has necessitated a change to the editorial policy.
Up until now, the policy has been that anything goes on the forums.
The new policy is the same as the old policy, except with this addendum: don’t abuse the policy.
This is a bit subjective but hopefully it makes sense. Repeated and needless personal attacks and (especially) starting rumors about people’s personal lives, ie behavior such as that exhibited by Marion as well as everyone’s other favorite banned poster, is obviously an abuse of the hands-off approach.
I will also call out the overly frequent posting of outrageously-titled political threads with the obvious intent to start a fight (take note, jficquette).
I think the hands off policy works well as long as it doesn’t get abused. So let’s make sure it doesn’t get abused any more. Spread the word.
Thanks,

I just recently happened across this thread and I have to agree with a previous poster’s freeway wreck characterization.
Marion, you’re banned. Your antics have made for some amusing exchanges in the past, but on this thread you haven’t just crossed the line — you’ve plunged headlong over it. I’m deleting the last couple posts above as well, because I just don’t want that kind of garbage on this site.
Your conduct is, incidentally, astonishingly similar to that of a frequent poster from the past who also ended up as one of this site’s very few banned users. I guess I have a type.
In any event, I wish you the best but you are no longer welcome here.

[/quote]How did I miss this entire thread? And Marion gets banned? Well, all things considered, I guess I should have seen that coming. Oh well… buh bye, Marion. It was real (well, sort of real).

Rich,
I am not trying to start a fight. I am sharing information that most people here never see because they get their news from the MSM.
If you will take the time to read my posts you will find that the people who disagree with me are the ones who do the name calling and use the vulgar language.

You know, it’s so typical. I actually get some decent work done this morning and afternoon, and then check into piggington, and I miss the smackdown of marion. =sigh=
I need a piggington tivo.
