OK, so Stilly and I learned something, and I think we came up with a reasonable compromise by including both "Limberjack" and "Jig Doll" in the thread title - they are the same thing, aren't they? Megan, we try to be as internationally inclusive as we can be at Mudcat. That's why we change dates and abbreviations in thread titles to terms that are universally understandable.

We've had some serious racist attacks from unregistered guests lately, so perhaps we were overly sensitive to a thread from an unknown guest that looked like it might provoke another racist squabble. That was our mistake. We're sorry.

Now, let's go on with the actual subject of the discussion. HiLo, that applies to you, too - if you continue to use threads to grouse about moderators, your posts will continue to disappear. Stay on topic. I blocked you temporarily because I don't want to battle with you - but I've now taken off the block. If you want to discuss something with me, email joe@mudcat.org. You'll find I'm quite reasonable, but don't want to fight. If you're not happy with what I say, you can appeal to max@mudcat.org. The basic thing is that we moderators can't get into online arguments about what we do. If you want to talk with us directly, that's fine.
