Richard,

I have an serious inquiry to make of you.

You asked me... "WHO ARE YOU FIGHTING FOR HERE"

I am fighting for a CHAPTER Bulletin Board that we can ALL be very proud of. Currently, I am not.

YOU posted "I agree with Norman. No censorship. "FREEDOM OF THE PRESS". !!!!!!!!! "

Yet you have a problem with it when someone calls you a name. After all you wrote... FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, and YES I've seen you call other's names as well so I guess it goes both ways.

If the board remains uncensored then you should have NO problem with any name calling going either way.

I know why I want restrictions and why I feel that the actual selling and trading aspects can be best done off the board. I feel it will clean up our house for our NEW guests who come and visit. If you had invited some people into your home for a party and one of your old friends kept using foul language, not only in front of you friends but your children too, would you invite them back for your next party? Or just ask them to immediately leave.

However, if you do feel that there should be some USAGE POLICY restrictions here what should those be?

Also, I am wondering since YOU were specifically affected (as well as others who have AOL IP's) when Greg had to institute a BANNED IP list and all of your messages had to wait to be released to the message board when we had our old problem poster who kept calling people on the message board names and telling us silver striking was going to be a hobby of the past, and posting under some of our members names.

WHAT do YOU think we should do with this poster if he/she should ever show back up and if we found out that persons REAL identity?
