Great. And when that's done, I guess we can started on the others who are plenty to blame, whoever they are.
It wasn't a nice thing for him to have said. But is it really that impossible to see that almost EVERYBODY vents without naming names sometimes for very understandable reasons -- some good, some bad, but usually including not wanting to pick fights with them -- ALL THE TIME?
....
I don't know. Asking who's being spoken of once is always totally justified, imo. But obviously you should suit yourself and not me.
I appreciate what your saying, the problem with it from my PoV is that it always creates more problems than it's worth.

- We already have an excellent system for dealing with these situations - a panel of highly respected, longtime forum members, hand-picked by the site admin, make decisions with him based upon the infraction at hand, the past history of the poster, personal appeals by pm and forum postings, and previous moderator threads dealing with the poster and other posters in similar situations.
But then there's precedent...like when you don't like a mods ban decision...

I LOL-ed
How very middle school. LOL away, by all means, but my post linked by Ben D is exactly what I stated in my list, a personal appeal. I didn't set a precedent. That avenue has always been available when member have a disagreement with the mods. Why is that so? Because it's a discussion forum, hello.

Do you have proof of this assertion that sock-puppets are rigging the vote? Or are you just behaving poorly because the vote isn't going the way you'd like?

Theonomic Reconstructionism: One God, One Vote:
Howard Ahmason, Sr.
Died: 1968
Savings and loan mogul. Founder of Home Savings of America. The Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles is named for the Ahmanson family.
Location:
Great Mausoleum
Theonomic Reconstructionism:
One God, One Vote:
Theonomic Reconstructionism is a belief that the only true authority is God's, that allegiance to biblical laws trumps that of civic law and that the Kingdom of Heaven needs to be built on Earth before Jesus will come again. In addition to that, homosexuals should be put to death, women should be banned from civic office, apostates and heretics should be stoned to death and there is a great need for more Christian politicians.
According to the Reconstructionists, Jesus would do what Howard Ahmanson did. Ahmanson inherited his money from his father, owner of Home Savings & Loan (during the S&L scandal of the Reagan years, Home's investors, mostly small family investments, lost over $150 million dollars. No one went to jail). In addition to funding PACs and think tanks, Howard Jr. parlayed his fortune into the majority stock of a business called American Information Systems (AIS) started by two enterprising brothers, Todd and Bob Urosevich. AIS later merged with Business Records Corporation (BRC) and became Election Systems & Solutions (ES&S). ES&S is the number one provider of touch-screen voting machines. Their website claims that their products were used in collecting 56% of the national vote in the last presidential elections.
Todd Urosevich is now Vice President of ES&S. Strangely enough, brother Bob moved on to head the second largest computerized vote-counting business, Global Election Systems, recently purchased by ATM and security giant Diebold. (They now have both the Ohio and Georgia contracts.) In a round table swap of incestuous patronage the previous executives of Global moved on to head the third largest vote-counting company in the nation, Advanced Voting Systems. Combined, these three corporations will process nearly 80% of the next nationwide elections.

False dicotomy. I am saying the poll is illegitimate, meaningless, and subverts the forum. I don't care if Canadian_watcher comes back or not, frankly, because I know she'll just act up again, and probably end up banned.
