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.

Your last post linked to the WSJ opinion page — how is that not MSM? Anyone who wants to read the WSJ is capable of doing so on their own. (And btw the post before that one, the global warming one, was a link to a hoax as far as I can tell).

I didn’t accuse you of calling people names, but of stirring the pot and trying to get people riled. I find it hard to believe that you come here to a housing (not political) site and post the stuff you do, with the frequency you do, if you aren’t looking for a fight.

On that note, you are arguing with me right now, and I’m really not interested. Like I said, the “don’t abuse the policy” policy is subjective in nature, and right or wrong the above represents my subjective opinion. As such I’m requesting that you tone it down in the future.

Thanks,
Rich

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,
Rich

Holy cow.

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.

Rich
