"If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen."

This I have heard many times here in the Mudcat ... and from some of the elder members.

With that being said .... and a over all acceptance of a Laissez faire, "no barricades approach" to moderating ... the Mudcat is what it is ...... then I ask, what is the meaning of this thread?

things won't change .... the Old Dudes and other good people will come and then they will leave .... the same old heated arguments will continue with the usual vengence.
