kf--

Although I am still pretty new here, I can tell you that this has been an ongoing debate which usually winds up on the side of free access and self-policing.

The ugly stuff usually dies down pretty quickly, and REALLY ugly stuff is actually more laughable than truly painful-- at least when I and some of my pals have had our turn, this is how we have seemed to feel.

I think most everyone here has many more good experiences here than bad ones. It can be hard to keep one's attention on that when the stuff is running freely (and downhill), but it does always come back up to a lovely level again. Some people will say that the good old days were much better and are gone forever, and maybe that is so. But we each have an opportunity to make a whole new "GOOD-NOW-DAYS" season at the Mudcat. And, like the rest of life, that's about the best we humans can manage, eh?

So I hope you will post oftener and keep posting, which is a way you can do your part to make this a good place for all.
