It may be directed toward the "moderators" but it is now a public thread unlocked and open to all. I too am trying to guess what might be the offending postings that you find unacceptable. I have my own group of posters that I find just a bit tiresome at times. I also have come up against a poster that I found rather scary. That was taken care of. Most here are in my view very nice people. In any group there is bound to be some that irritate without even knowing that they do. That is life.

are you talking about me, John? I don't like your tone! I am not "scary", I am not, I am not, I am not!!!

Just kidding!

But seriously, Susan, I am with you on this. Regarding your concerns; there may be some who read between the lines you wrote when there was nothing between the lines, and so your concerns are valid -even though some may think there is more behind those concerns.

We are all different, John made a good point of that and so what some may consider ok, others are offended. I am not implying who is "wrong" or Right", but I would like to take this opportunity to say to who ever will listen:

PLEASE CONSIDER OTHERS WHEN POSTING.

We all like you Susan and those who know you don't want to offend you . And as John stated, most people here are nice!

F@KKER

disclaimer: I am sorry for offending anyone, it was unintentional

PLEASE CONSIDER OTHERS WHEN POSTING.

Exactly! You never know who's watching. I thought that was the point of the TOS -- since the forum is open to everyone, it's best to keep it "clean". This has nothing to do with political or any other "correctness".

Thanks-

BTW I am also a female

For real? I had no clue. I will have to clean up my act now.

(i am not refering to susan now...)
it just seems that there are even people who get offended when i post that my sonar isnt 100% stable :-)

PEACE

Maybe I'm missing something, and please forgive me if I am, but I'm not seeing anything offensive?
I do a lot of CCM, gospel music etc. I am a Christian and generally have a pretty low tolerance for offensive garbage but I'm not seeing this?

Fine, then don't worry about it!

-Susan

whats offensive to some may not be to others, got that , god damnit ti hell
Cj

surely most people who post on here are adult enough to walk away from threads they don't like.

That's not the point -- of course adults can walk away.

Geesh!

Has anyone here read my original post? All I was asking was that the forum moderators enforce thier TOS.

Hi, Im a newbie from the UK since the New Year and this resource is really important to me. I have to say I agree with fellow newbie tomflair here. People are people and we cant expect everyone to be exactly like we are, nor "moderate" them if they merely annoy us or dont get to the point in the way we would like them to. After all, we may be having exactly the same effect on someone else!!! Internet forums are a different format of social interaction and although we should expect the same mechanisms of acceptance / rejection to people and behaviours that occurs at a direct social level, everything plays out in a different dimension amd timescale that I believe requires on online "live and let live" sensibility to oil the wheels of communication. If anyone has directly offended anyone and it it not obvious to the moral majority, then we need the direct reference to the slight before we can even begin to pass a consensus judgement.

Love and peace

Hi all

I know we're all probably guilty of using the asterisks instead of the correct letters when using profanity and I know the TOS don't allow this, but I've never come across a fully-spelled swear word - to me that would be unacceptable.

As for member's avatars, the only one I've seen that makes me a little uncomfortable is the one that uses the Blind Faith album cover of a topless young girl.

Let's be honest, I know it's iconic and all that bo*****s but if someone posted an image of any other topless 13/14 [?] year old girl anywhere on the web they'd probably be getting a knock on the door from the old bill wanting to have a good look through their hard drive while they were in custody.

To me, using that image is at best naive, at worse deliberately provocative?

Oh, almost forgot [feel free to copy and use whenever you get the urge]:



Best wishes

S***e

I still haven't made myself clear, apparently, and I won't try again!

Hey guys, I thingk we are taking this stuff a little too seriously to maintain the fun in freindship and fun that we all share on this forum. Susan G, point taken let us leave the rest to the moderators.

well i dont like that cover either but it doesnt remind me an 14 year old girl...i think it looks more like some hippie woman - and yes there are breasts there but the whole picture isn´t anyhow sexual.(there are 2500 old greek paintings that are more vulgar)..since i am european i find it a bit strange how americans ( and pleeeease dont get me wrong . i dont wanna be polemic) are so ambivalent to the whole nudity and vulgarity issue...
as american culture is transported to europe it just looks like there are only extremes: american pornindustry / guns / gangs / and on the other hand people who are extremely conservative...as far as i am concerned i can live with "almost" everything that does not restrict my own liberty - and deviant behaviour of others doesnt influence my personality...

cheers

PS: really no us vs. eu intended :-)
