Guest - in asking for *NO interference* Shambles is trying to impose his desire of how the forum should be run on the owner of the site - who has set it up in another manner. In fact - he claims it is his RIGHT to have no interference - on someone else's private site. You do not see this as interference and the desire to impose his will on others?



The interference that the clones currently undertake according to joe is not enough to keep the peace. If someone who is resposible for part of the interference has admitted it isn't working Shambles is more than within his rights to suggest an alternative ; just like Joe has.

Joe wants to change the set up of the site to suit his idea of peace. Based purely on how he percieves the tone of a thread. Pretty tenuous don't you think? Unless you also think we all have the identical perceptions.

Shambles wants to see how it runs with no interference. Without trying it out none of you know whether the current interference is merited or not. What exactly is so scary and radical about that?

Dang. And I woulda sworn I said I cannot control the tone of a thread or the Forum, that I can only do damage control by deleting messages that are clearly personal attacks. I can often predict the tone of a thread from the way it starts, but I sure as heck can't control it.
Nobody understands me....

But yeah, I guess I do have to admit that the proposal for members-only BS posting does have a significant impact on anonymous Guests.
