Yeah, just this afternoon, I was smilin' and thinkin', I wonder if ol' Hugo is down there amidst the sulfur, braggin' to his buddy, Lucifer, that a RR thread named in his honor has over 115 posted comments!

steph should have contributed to the discussion towards the end. She started the thread.

Quote: Olivia wrote in post #107 It has been pondered but it's also puzzling why the mods play favorites, also. Cedric has been rude & condescending to several of us on the board. He gets away with most of it. If others fight back, it's their fault and not his, according to the mods. It's not fair to play favorites and it shows on this board.
Personally, I don't care if people are rude, condescending, irritating, moronic ect ect posts. I do have an issue with people who harp on how people express themselves and what they are expressing when that person doesn't have the balls to either form coherent thoughts on why they are right, i.e.; the modern day GOP party being awesome or at the very least posting articles that coherently state that.
There is one person that doesn't post thought provoking or interesting statements or articles and is basically a juvenile bore. That would be Cedric.
It would be interesting if someone actually started a thread with the subject of what's wrong with the GOP, and people could respond with 'coherent thoughts' sans personal insults.
The only time I object to the discussion is when it is superimposed on inappropriate threads, which happens frequently around here, or when arguments against the GOP consist of name-calling and insults directed or splayed across the board and make no sense whatsoever.
We each have our different styles and opinions, but there is a way to have coherent discussions even with differing personalities.
But it takes two people to have those discussions, and there are those who can't seem to get a grip on actually having them.

My opinion is that being rude is a personal preference. With some of us our base instincts get the better of us and "Thar she blows!" We're not all cut from the same fabric in how we deal with each other. That seems to me to be part of a community. I much prefer thoughtful dialogue to rudeness but there are times when the snide comment will squeak out.
My objection is with inappropriateness. I value who I associate with. Our time spent here has a [lost time?] value. I for one don't like associating with idiots who litter our list with inappropriate content, like someone insisting the Catholic church is led by satanists. I'd like restrictions put on such idiotic blather and I'd like to see anyone who persists in such destructive posting to be shown the door.
The key is 'anyone who persists,' TM.
We all need to be forgiven an occasional outburst (or even not that infrequent in the cases of those with more abrasive, albeit adorable personalities), but persistent rudeness, especially to the mods, should result in some kind of consequence (like a time out, or warning).
I think this place is exceptionally well run, and that's why I've been concerned about battle lines which seem to have been drawn and repeated mindless insults, with some very conservative people seen as the enemy of other conservatives. I like your idea of 'community,' and perceiving another as a foe just because he or she doesn't hate all Republicans seems counter productive.

Start it, musiclady. See what comes of it. You can only try.

I could do that, couldn't I?
The problem is, if I started it now, I'd have to disengage shortly because I've got evening plans.
But maybe I will.....
What category should it be in (since I don't post articles very often, I'm not sure where it belongs........general?)
You could put it in the political philosophies area.

Hey, Frank, at first it escaped me as to why you seemed obsesssed with how many posts other members have.
Then the light bulb went on!
You have a whopping-big-super-duper-neato 1514 posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Big ups, big guy!
Tell me, do you get paid by the word or by the pound?
Hey dummy. You pissed and moaned that this site was dying in your eyes and then complain that I called you out for being a pathetic poster overall. Without heavy posters, forums die.
In summary...blow it out your lazy, low posting ass.

Now, Frank, I devote as much time to RR as I possibly can.
But, I am often otherwise occupied.
I have a trophy wife who begs for and receives a lot of attention from me.

Well, that's more than I'm willing to say.
Cedric any chance you could post some pics of the Mrs?

I'm not one bit interested in seeing photos of Cedric's wife.
Musiclady, bear with me here. [I'm just trying to determine if he's lying.]
