Well.. as I said previously, if you don't like what I'm trying to do here you know what to do.
I must admit, I'm surprised at you Malf, really.
If me trying to make this a more enjoyable place by calming things down for all make me a nazi then so be it.
But it is what I'm here for.

i meant it too. if this is the way the forums are run, when posts are deleted haphazardly, and the mods egos are overflowing, well futter it all, i say. i enjoy these boards, but this is just to much. i've expressed my opinion here several times about the mod activity, and it is just flat out overboard. so, if I can't express my opinion, which basically states the truth in response to what I feel is an injustice that needs addressing, without having my posts deleted in fear that someone might... GASP... be offended, well then fine, if thats the way these boards are run, i'd rather not be a part of them anymore.

That's entirely your decision,dude.
For my part, I've had far too many complaints for me to ignore these outbursts from some members any longer.
I've tried the soft approach and it hasn't worked.
Anything that is deleted is for the good of the board and the whole of it's membership for whatever reason.
The rules were set by Rob, the webmaster and owner of these boards, and I will enforce them.
That said, I am a mod here and I neither have to, or will any longer, justify my moderation decisions to you or anyone else.

Absolutely. I loath the bickering but I'm even finding that I've had to delete some of my own posts, 'cause I'm getting caught up in it too. When someone makes an outrageous statement, the impulse is to 'react' rather than 'respond,' and there has been far too much 'reaction' here of late. Opinion is one thing, but much of what's gone on here is far beyond 'stating an opinion.' Even Rusti and I have gone at it a bit, but I absolutely agree with him here. 'Nerf, I understand completely. I've not held my tongue on a few occasions and it's not my place to tell you what your job is and what it isn't. If I get out of line and a post of mine gets deleted, that's my problem, not yours. Do what you have to do. |

Wells himself approved the 50's adaptation,as well as the one of ''things to come'' right before his passing away. ClaytonForrester. Huh? Where did you read that? Considering Wells died 7 years before the film was released I doubt he had much personal influence on the outcome  |
