Thread: Craigslist notice??.

Gee Gary, I thought you were being pretty crafty trying to provoke Bill into closing the thread by your personal attack on Roger. Perhaps a better solution would be that you just not open the thread at your end again. I seriously doubt anyone "blames" you for the content beyond what you actually type.

Anywhere on the net the O/P does have a say in the direction a thread they started goes in.That is SOP anywhere on the net.It is a means of showing respect for everyone.This site and you guys is home base for me.But I do need to take a stand for myself...........

Well Gary, I have to agree with Bob on this one. You first demanded that Bill close this thread because you were unhappy that what you started developed a life of it's own and digressed to other subjects. When that was rebuffed you're now resorting to a personal attack, which along with links to extremist web sites Bill advised would not be tolerated (both smart moves, Bill). You say that the only opinions being expressed are mine, Bob's, and Dave's, and that anything that Dave posts is followed/supported blindly, but if you take time to actually read the posts you will note that both Bob & I have brought to question some of the details in Dave's positions - sure, we generally agree with the direction he's headed, but we've introduced some healthy discussion about details. Alllen has been a voice of the counterpoint, and as Bob mentioned this is not the first time for some banter amongst the group. It's current, important, and with total respect for the varying opinions that have been stated. As a point in fact, the only person who has said anything about not being respected is you, and for the life of me I cannot see where there has been anything disrespectful directed toward you at any point in the process. You have the opinion that you "own" the thread, and thus can decide when things others choose to post are not "on-topic" and rein them in, and that if your wishes are not followed it is a lack of respect. For me that does not follow any definition of respect that I ever learned, but that's a moot point. As Bob said, "....any further commentary on this aspect will stop for me here.", and please do not take my ignorring your further words as any sign of disrespect.

Digression is the key word to focus on rules or not.We all have been on forums long enough that rules are second nature.If you have a member such as myself who justifiably feels he is being mistreated and ignored then you stop.It is just common sense.
