OK, I'll bite. I have been a member of the FPN for some time, now. I am
a raving left-wing scientifically-educated anti-Creationist
anti-IntelligentDesigner pro-socialist pro-gun but pro-gun control and
fundamentalist believer in anthropogenic global warming.

Your self-description could fit me as well as you I do not discuss
politics on FPN - there are better fora for political discussion. I
have, however, supported other members whose suggestions or comments
about FPN have provoked rude responses from the mods or admins.

Well, people who read and post on FPN should, as the moderators and
admins suggest, consider themselves "guests".

Guests in the FPN ********, a ******** run by control freaks who are
apparently among the biggest assholes to run a web board.

I have only been treated with the utmost of good manners by all members
of the FPN, even when I spout my left-wing views. I have never been
censured for my points of view, either by other members or the
Admin/Moderators team.

I have also always been treated with respect by FPN administrators, but
I have seen them treat other members rudely, and more than once. I
have seen more than one rude, hostile response to posts by Kurt that I
would describe as completely benign, often clever and humorous.

Feel free to post examples here on this board and there's not a
mother****ing thing the admins or moderators can do about that. Well,
I'd guess they'd yank your FPN account, but that shouldn't matter to
you, unless you place value on being a guest in a ********.

So far the only FPN admin or moderator to post here has been Rudhauri
(sp?), and he's not one of the worst ones, as far as I know. But the
other dip****s are too ****ing yellow to come out of the woodwork and
face the music. They may be bigshots on FPN, but they ain't ****
here.

Tap....tap.....tap....look at the murky response to Andy in Torrey
Pines question regarding the the moderators letting personal political
affiliations and opinions weigh on their decisions to remove/edit post
as a moderator. Why cant they just give a flipping answer? Why the
need to tap dance....it seems totally disingenuous. Give me a
break....give me a break.....break me off a deice of that Chrysler
car!

Also the most irritating personality flaw of all moderators/admins,
not just on FPN but most web forums...the looks at me I am your day
slap on the back keep toeing the company line and I will complement
your opinions.

Not to mention there is some wad that eeps popping into these somewhat
interesting posts and sharing his thoughts....that have nothing to do
with the topic and only his intent to get chatter and various threads
closed. Another give me a break moment brought to you by......

I thought a lot of it had to do with the ultra right wing
fundamentalist flagging a bunch of posts and driving the moderators
crazy. I think that kind of thing happens. But as far as the talk
about "civilized" debate. What the **** is there to debate about on
FPN anyway? Whether Penman Sapphire tops Noodler's Blue?

The moderator, of course, was referring to political debate. But I
think the time for "civilized" debate is over. The time for being
civil is over. When we've got a traitor in the White House, being
"civil" in a debate about this traitor or the traitor's policies,
about his fundamentalist religion--which is every bit as crazy as
fundamentalist Islam--well, to say any of that, I'm sure, would be
cibsudered "uncivilized" on FPN. Any of those statements could
probably get you banned from FPN. So I guess you should say something
like, "Even though he is an honorable man, George Bush was mistaken
about the reasons for going to war in Iraq."

Also the most irritating personality flaw of all moderators/admins,
not just on FPN but most web forums...the looks at me I am your day

your opinions.

**** web forums and web moderators. But some other sites I've been to
don't seem as insane as FPN. But then the people posting on those
boards are generally not as stupid as the average FPN'er either.

Of course the moderators are dumb asses. To read all of that stuff on
FPN--only a dumbass could read all that stuff and stand reading it.

On other boards I know of, the moderators are not participating in the
threads. That could lead to problems and I'm sure it does lead to
problems on FPN.

I'd go there and have some fun, but I ain't got time for elaborate
trolling these days. Those FPN'ers though--you got to admit that FPN
would be a great place to troll because they'd never catch on. Lots
of times--like when I'm reading some post about some guy microwaving
his ink--I'm wondering, "Is this a troll?"

Damn, the place is already teeming with trolls. Did I spell teeming
correctly? Well, if I didn't, it's not like I much care.

Those who know of you, recognize rumors.

I was just reading and noticed that I am being accused of being a
pedophile among other things.

The reason I was kicked off of FPN was because I called another member
a rude name in a twitter post and the FPN admins pulled my account. I
did this in a fit of frustration after a thread, probably should not
have but I did and am living with the consequences.

I was removed as an administrator because the other 6 thought that the
stress of admin work added to the other stresses in my life was
hurting me and that I would not voluntarily stop so they asked me to
step down.

No emails to minors, no cleaning up messes after me those are the
reasons. No I was just trying to pull my life together after a
hurricane.

I just want to set the record straight.

Yep wish I knew who the rumor monger was but will never know- it
signed on and posted then disappeared just like a T. Llum over on
Pentrace. Don't know if they are connected other than to disparage
me. Life is too short to have to deal with this stuff.
