Nadine, if you want to debate who is more conservative I am game.. Just start a new thread and send me a link. I know you know scriptre well as I've observed over the last couple years , so this should be fun, but your comment above is really in bad taste and quite untrue. I am a WELS Lutheran and have been for 52 years. We are know as the most conservative of conservatives, ask anyone.
my comment was about a few OTHERS that turned a blind eye to some troublemakers -- not you Jim. They were also not mods here - they were members.
But the members were/are your friends.
When I confronted a rude post by someone, I GOT REPRIMANDED and scolded for not asking him what job he held.
(as if he asked the person he attacked what job he held??)
That is what I'm referring to in my post (which I've said in 1 other post).
And no, this isn't a contest on who's more conservative,
nor did I say that -- I've had some pm's of different mods that oversee this forum related w/ IIDB, I have yet to see the evidence, but I've gotten some pm's on issues.
I read your comment on legalistic and it does seem unreasonable.
What I have said weeks ago and say yet again today is this, I am tired of making posts and have people (who have issues w/ me) make rude comments and comments of correction as to how I posted it & what I said.
It became a constant pattern - that's what started alot of what's going on. Intimidation to "act & think like us, or we'll just post "sigh" faces and "sad" faces in protest to your statements or reply.
I don't appreciate it and most others wouldn't either. I dont' go attacking peoples warm fuzzy posts when people are clearly causing trouble - they get rewarded for bad behaviour - BUT I SAY NOTHING to them in a post to mock or show my disgust.
Others have felt this as well; it wasn't just to me.
So that's the background of where I'm coming from on this issue.
And if people are going to publically accuse of staff bias, I'd like the proof pm'd - becuz I don't just blindly accept accusations against people.
