Amelia, a couple of posts back you made an appeal for moderators. I know of a couple of people who have volunteered to be moderators, but nothing was done.

I don't have any input as to who becomes a moderator.

I see. In any event, I do know of a couple of people who are interested in being moderators. It might be good to clarify exactly what administration is looking for in moderators, so those who are interested could have some idea.

Anyone truly interested in being a moderator can contact Stan.

I believe that has been done. So, then, if appeals have been made for moderators--and they have; and if some have responded--which they have; yet there is no action or further response, then, what to make of it?

Ahhh, I see. Very well.

Cheers.

It doesn't seem like the issues are resolved, but if you wish to close the thread, that is your call to make.

Looks like a lot of common sense goin up in smoke.

So, what about the ideas and suggestions on this thread? or the whole issue of rule-making? Is it now a dead issue? I do understand that Cricket and Ed are not interested in following the discussion further, but it seems like the issues still are out there.

In the words of the famous.....ah, I forget his name...Jones I believe it was...whatever....I have not yet begun to fight!

Lets see now, who is that masked person called jeanmarie, the Lone Ranger, The Shadow or ....?

I know, lets ask the Great Carnack!!! Oh wait....he retired long ago...hmmm....part of the three...

I know, I know! Curly, Moe and....and...I forgot the other...

That would be John Paul Jones who said. "I have not yet begun to fight." when asked if he wanted to Surrender as his ship was sinking. He ended up taking the attacking British man of war.

and the three stooges are........

Curly Moe and Larry.

Boy I should be on "Who wants to be a Millionare." announce

Yumpin’ yiminy!...

got through part of the second page and was compelled to voice my opinions - big deal, huh? :-(

It is doubtful anyone on this forum has been as personally ‘abused’ as I (read: “The Jena six” thread); however, you’ve not seen me go on and on with the plaint, the lament, the kvetch, etc...

>>3) Two of us...<<

Is it permissible for a committee of this one to interject with a couple of observations?

>>I believe I can speak for my colleague here, when I say that we BOTH would prefer that admins/mods deal with such matters INSTEAD of us.<< [ed.jasd]

Oo la..., Frick and Frack or Alphonse and Gaston? très jolie!

Seriously though, are you

pulling the chains of “admins/mods” or might we, indeed, read the foregoing posts as agitation hopefully culminating in a change of guard/administration? Jesting, are we not? bwink

>>Nabal<<

Did you intend to intimate there are those on this list that are thought of – as fools? :-o

Does that fall under the regime of ‘nice’, ‘safe’, or Biblical?

>>That is, a few persons, sowing the seeds of dissension, gaining sympathizers and turning people against others on the forum. Such a nefarious course of action needs to be addressed and checked.<<

A mea culpa?

C’mon, DK ... I remember a post you addressed to EDD (not that long ago) wherein it was suggested that ‘he leave this forum and take the 1/3 like-minded’ (paraphrased) with him.

1/3? That is not snarky? not defamatory?

I’ve not seen the post that seems to have caused you agida – so, you have a modicum of my sympathy; however, I’d so much rather you begin posting substantially!

You were a good and worthy member of this list until this, this, this ... aw, sheesh!

We’re all flawed members in one manner or other (it’s simply a fact of life) – as is the case with whatever/any group you encounter – just go to church to verify what I’ve stated re expectations!

I understand you may have some grievance and concern, but honestly – this raison d’être of yours presumes too much (imho).

>>In the absence of such rules, something does need to be done.<<

By all means, let’s shuffle the tracks as it seems this disc has developed a rut/loop.

Moreover, this bruiting-of and punctuating posts with the mot noire – ‘libel/liability’ – is unsettling to the casual observer and – uncalled-for.

I should hate to see you lose credibility - as the Xtian is adjured from suing at law – as your subtexts penultimately indicate...

John Paul Jones? The bass player in ... that band?

NO. John Paul Jones the Navy captain in the american Revolution that took the fight to British waters just off of major British ports. He was bassed from France where the french supplied the ship and materials and the americans supplied the men for the ship.

John Paul Jones is considered the father of the american Navy.

bwink I do know my history... but I also know my rock 'n' roll history, and also like to make a gentle joke now and then.

L*OL I knew who you were talking about, Bravus.

Since I became a Christian I have not been able to listen to "that band". I had spiritual trouble with them even before I converted (just a side note).

Back to topic!

Isaiah 32:17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance for ever.

He lives somewhere down under us.

Indeed. An appropriate location for an arch-liberal who claims his brain is 'soup.' Nice and hot down there. 'Twill keep the soup a-bubblin'.

>>You really don't know all that happened. Let's leave it at that.<<

...and, it may be that I’m apprised of more than is necessary to have urged the tracks shuffled; and yes, let’s leave it at that.

>>I will simply respond that there may be other circumstances of which you may not be aware.<,

I concur that, indubitably, there would be circumstances of which I am, inarguably, not aware; that said...,

why all the buzz posted on this open board if there is but a smattering who are privy to the causes of complaint? The rest of us are receiving only a grainy picture.

>>The situation is that serious.<<

Truly? ...but is it Biblical to threaten or to exercise that which is straightforwardly proscribed in Holy Writ?

>>Yet, it seems like there may be times when legal redress is the only way to deal with situations. For example, the SDA church does not have a problem with suing people or organizations.<<

Exactly! which is why the .Org, availing itself of the courts to litigate, can no longer plead the benefits of having organized as an ‘association’ but are – according to case law (such as Barr v Methodist, if memory serves...) - expected to now be treated at law – as INCorporated.

As commonly stipulated, a Corporation is legally an entity or “creature of the State"; moreover, "the State is sovereign of the corporation.” -JThayer

Kinda renders moot the concept of “Render unto Caesar... and unto Gd....”, doesn’t it?

“The movement began aggressively anti-organizational, but today it is the most highly structured church in the history of Christianity,” –Knight

The above quote references the SDA movement. Its “structure” supercedes even that of the RCs.
