Okay, I want to tell people about my forum:

I don't care who you are, but I will not tolerate another ruckus in here about the forum itself. I went through a personal thing here recently, and that was for my own reasons. I wanted a fresh start. I don't care if it is old troublemakers in here, as long as they are making good debate happen, that is all that matters. The minute we start getting too much talk in here about who hurt who's feelings, I suggest we change the topic.

Here's some advice: if someone is attacking you, or debating too emotionally for you, abandon the thread. If they follow you, I will try to do what I can to keep them away from the forum if they are being too disruptive. To all my friends, I appreciate your help in trying to snoop out potential troublemakers, but don't get too jumpy when you think that one of the people that came in here weeks ago and attacked me might be back under a different name. I will ignore them and delete posts if needed.

But so far, I see all the current discussion as viable. The topics are good. In the end, I don't care if someone who meant me ill a few weeks ago is back and writing in. As long as it's on topic, or even about the site as in a critique, that is fine. But if things get more personal than someone calling someone mediocre or an idiot, then that's when things have to stop, and I will delete messages and block people and whatever. But just try to bear the people that call you names or get angry or upset. They are strangers (most likely) and do not know you. But if there is a case, such as what happened to me, in which you are being attacked by someone over and over in a clearly malicious way, and you suspect the person doing it might even KNOW you, then that is different. That is just low, a cowardly thing.

Let me know.

Just remember that I will not always be able to act as moderator.
