Comrade, Rick, etc, it is not only private problems that you think. These problems I doubt will go away. I think as moderators you are a little too quick to apply this kind of authority however.

Yes, thanks for keeping this thread alive for now. I know it has some ugly comments. Still I don't think it is appropriate to close it off. BTW Where did the thread WTR 1ST DATE go? You know , the one about you and Polska on the moon or something like that? I can't locate it and just in fact encouraged another poster wwwadim to enter this contest. Vortex might be a good contender as well if he doesn't get too political.

Nobody likes to close or delete threads--it takes quite a bit of mousework, but don't make us. Whatever you do, your discussions should be respectful and polite. It'll make things a lot easier for everybody. Really.

But I take offense that you called ME a rascist. The only reason I made reference to race was to try and show E that his comments about me being a retard in a wheelchair are equally offensive and obnoxious,. People just love to play the race card and ignore the fact that there are other groups of people who also face prejudice etc. btw today was a warm summerlike day. My son had friends over and they swam all afternnoon. One of the children is African American. That's how rascist I am.

You click on your alert email and only the infuriating "this thread doesn't exist" window comes up? OK, last time I looked, you said "ignorant nigger" and e said "racist eight-year-old retard in a wheelchair". Sooo...what did I miss?

But as flaming others is a part of the game for some of us, it seems only right to give those that are in need of it their own playing ground. To the flamers: The unmoderated forum is all yours. Please keep the other sections clean....

I think Camrades advice is the best one: it should be kept to pm and email, and should be kept off of public view and that these threads (particulary Cyndys racist stuff) should be deleted on the spot. We're probably scaring away more vistors and sponsors by these threads.

I am not racist and anyone here who thinks I am has no clue about me. My annoyance is not based on rascism. It is too convenient E to apply all of this to color. You are such a skinny whiny assed baby! well perhaps this belongs in the polls section.
