Commence operation "Convince Vicki and Shon I'd make a great Mod"

Commence operation Over Before It Started. Mehh, doesn't work like that. We vote who we get to work with. And 2 of us didn't agree with the other. ;)

Problem here is you got to many folks with double standards, ego's, and opinions founded in fairytails. And then you got some who aparantly go right to the 3rd grade when they have nothing worth saying, yet think they need to prove something. Then you got some who love to start shit, then cry the world is picking on them, hates them, hates their dogs, and cant comprhend what was written before hand. They cry when someone speaks on a breed they hardy know, then they speak on breeds they hardly know.

Void what you missed probly was RAM ranting about my wife being fat. Well heres a shocker folks, she is fat. I love her regardless. But I'm a realist, and reality dont hurt my feelings. Now had he told her that, he may have hurt her feelings. To me, well he qould have been better off calling my dog a mongrel if he was looking to get a rise from me. All he proved was is maturity level and apparantly lack of factual proof his dog was better.

I would say anyone who is known to pm mods to cry should be banned from the section. Anyone who dishes it but cant take it, should be banned from the section. Make the section non viewable to anyone not a member. Our buggy forum has no captain save a threads. It's known that if you want to be a dick, there are 20-30 main active members that can out dick you. And regardless of the topic, they will come together and run your dumb ass off.

I've been on this forum for almost a year, and hope to continue to be part of it. In the time that I've spend here I've only seen 3 possibly 4 threads that were locked. ( From what I have seen anyway) Any time "hot" topic came up most folks were actually mature adults. Fila threads are a perfect example, of IMO a civil debate, without the kindergarten name calls or people thumping their chests. Like what we've seen these last few days.

I though it would be a good section for those that like to talk dog, not BS. A suggestion to test the waters around here. I believe most people here are mature enough to handle it.

But thats the problem. MOST. Unless you want the mods to turn into school teachers who decide who gets to post in that section and who doesn't it isn't going to work because we can't guarantee ALL. And like I said. We've HAD all sorts of debate, on all sorts of topics, including heated debates. We don't need a "no-rules" section to do that in.

Ruth I'm not talking about a "no-rules" section, I have no idea where you got that from. There has to be "limits" ( even debates have them) but those few childish individuals shouldn't punish the rest of us who actually have thick skin.

on our fila list they made a section called troville and i think its an awesome idea, anything goes and we have some really good debates there,

Just my opinion but it would be great to have this added. One little area where lines CAN be crossed a bit and let the debate peter out on its own.

no no no......NO MODS!!! for that group thats the whole point of having a seperate section is for. we are all adults and do not need babysitting, freedom of speach people. If you dont want to be offended, STAY OUT OF THE SECTION plain and simple, so easy a caveman can do it :razzberry:

I agree. That is what I was talking about as well. I place that everything goes. Just keep it in your section and don't bother the "in charge" folks about it. Otherwise it is just a bar that we can't drink/smoke or cuss in! LOL

..............

We can, and have had, debates just fine without having to change the rules.
