BS: Attitude problem?

I totally agree that attitudes have changed but unfortunately little can be done to change it unless the 'group' wants such change and works mutually for the same goals. I for one prefer things as they were 'a while back' but as with life, one can only move on in the current mode of the group and live with it... or get out of it. I guess I have become a bit thick skinned over time here but I won't become calloused! I try very hard to maintain my 'individuality' as I have seen and personally experienced the Mudcat mob syndrome and would not want to be part of the persecuting aspect of the group. Whether it be Martin Gibson, Me, the moderators or whoever....the group will have its say...won't it!
I enjoy the music section and have learned much from lyrics/knowledge and facts and opinions but I don't visit the BS in an 'involved way' as I feel I would give too much of the inner me away to some who I wouldn't particularly want to know me that well. I prefer to meet 'real people' face to face and can confidently say I have not met a mudcatter yet that I have disliked...and I have met many. This place is unreal as are some of the characters in it....Some find this a great place to role play, some take it seriously, some love to wind others up, some,,,well the list is probably endless but the attitudes will be dictated by the group as a whole overall. Best wishes, Mike.

There is now a 'persecuting aspect of the group'?

Surely not?

Why would you think there would be such an attitude?

Is it because some posters are now seen to wish for some reason to be persecuted - as has been suggested recently?

If you wish to have a discussion, then answer peoples' questions directly with your own words, not by randomly cutting and pasting other peoples' posts over and over.

Grant our members and guests the serenity to accept the things they cannot change - the courage to change the things they can - and the wisdom to realise that this is a forum open to the public and that they have no control over the posts and ideas of others.

Sounds like a refusal to me. You obviously do not truly desire a discussion.

Roger - Remember when I said :

Grant our members and guests the serenity to accept the things they cannot change - the courage to change the things they can - and the wisdom to realise that this is a forum open to the public and that they have no control over the posts and ideas of others.

Please note that I said "members and guests". The owner and his selected moderators are in charge and get to run this place as they see fit.

Noted - but do you really think that selected moderators think they now need permission from you or I to do as they think fit, or rather do just as they wish?

Of course not! They would look to someone with a proven track record of leadership, someone whose perspicacity and good judgement is simply beyond question.

Someone like...William Shatner.

They would look to someone overweight, inept, bumbling, self-aggrandizing, musically parapalegic...someone like Shatner.

On a dead man's door, you can knock forever. But, I repeat myself, sorry.

LOL! Oh, the inhumanity of it all! Well, Amos, you can ramble on all you want trying to assassinate the character of a man who has done nothing but exemplify the noblest human virtues for all to emulate, but remember this! "They" will NOT look to a man who cannot even spell "paraplegic"! No, I think not.

No - I am wrong.

I saw the TV advert last night - it is Kellogs Bran Flakes with Mr S in a light blue jogging suit.

Not logical.

Sorry,I'm a bit late back to this.

i was just trying to be helpful in saying Roger has asked a specific question, got loads of answers, so can we close this.

I completely missed the point that this is a conversation. Of course. And, as a hard-hearted, bloodless liberal, I have no wish to curtail conversations (or threads).

incidentally, that should have read "permission from you or me to do ....", Roger. "You or I" has to be the subject of the sentence to be grammaticallly correct. Whereas in your sentence, "you or I" is the grammatical object.
