What is it with you and your continued insistence to control/moderate a political formum?

I'm not interested in controlling or moderating an over-50 forum.

Actually, I was asked by Mat to moderate this forum. I have been trying to do the best I can, to try and help make it a more civil place for discussion, and with hopefully a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Apparently, you and a handful of others take great exception to what I have been trying to do, for whatever various reasons.

C'est la vie, I guess.

I do think an "Over-50" forum would have a lot less posturing, backbiting, misquoting, one-upmanship, partisanship, name-calling and sundry other undesirable behaviors. I think there would probably be a lot to talk about--without having to wade through numerous juvenile pissing contests. In short, there would be a lot more wheat and a lot less chaff.

However it's not my idea; it's John's. So I just thought it deserved mention again.

As for the Three who would decide who gets an honorary membership--I was partially joking at least. Did it seem like I was totally serious? Well, you asked; I answered;-) Anyway, the over-50 forum might well be open to all--as Andy Fox has observed, it is doubtful if many of the topics would even appeal to the immature. It is even more doubtful that those interested in elevating piss-matches to an elite sport would be attracted to the forum.

....M.....Again, you are entitled to your opinions above, but they should not be construed as fact. I believe that your actions have been consistent and contradict your denial of your point of view that the politics forum should be moderated for the good of.........whom?

It's very simple. If there is going to be ANY kind of POLITCS forum on 2+2, it needs to be unmoderated by any poster.

If 2+2 owners choose to moderate it themselves, I certainly respect that, as it is their forum.

For the sake of clarity, I am drawing a distinction between the Politcs Forum, and any other Forum on 2+2;

This opinion does NOT apply to any other forum.
