Why close non combative threads? Is space on this site limited?
Redbird:
Dear Tim,
I do not expect all to understand what I mean. And yes, it is too late for me to be pulled back to Babylon.

I am not trying to cause division so please do not ask me why I don't just leave the forum.
I appreciate what you and the other moderators do Chris.
I am merely trying to understand actions that do not seem to be accordingto the stated rules.

Hi Tim, are you talking about these rules? They seem pretty clear to me.
This forum is moderated, if you feel you cannot accept the bounds of a limited forum then don’t join. The moderators do not have the time to explain every decision to you on why a post was deleted, so don’t expect it.
The moderators will generally try to remove posts before banning a member, don’t take it personally. If you see your posts being removed then perhaps you should review what you are writing to make sure is goes along with the forum rules. If you are asked to let a subject drop, or a particular subject is off limits then please abide by what the moderators ask. Don’t necessarily expect a reason for the request, many things go on behind the scenes of the forum and the moderators are doing what they feel is best.
mercy, peace and love

Well Katt,
In your mind I guess that excuses moderators of anything and everything.
They don't owe us lowly peons the courtesy of any explanations.
You have spent more time defending your actions than it would have taken
to answer a simple question.
I guess that I can read Rays papers without coming here.

Tim,
Attitude makes a big difference here. I am of the attitude that things are being done the best they can, in the time mods. have to come here. Your additude seems to be that is not enough, you want more and we should do what you want. Whether I have time to do it and whether one of the other mods does, is two different things. If a mod. has time they may make an explanation, if not they won't, so you should not expect one. It's that simple. And it is stated in the rules, that you had mentioned.
mercy, peace, and love

Kat,
Attitude is a hypothetical construct that represents an individual's like or dislike for an item. Attitudes are positive, negative or neutral.
It is my opinion that in some cases, the moderators take on the job of
censors instead of moderators. It is my opinion that you have already spent more time defending an action than it would have taken to merely answer a question. So being too busy is not the case in this instance.
My opinion has nothing in the least to do with my attitude, which by the way is, in almost all instances, positive, but has become negative due to the responses of the moderators.
You see, unlike personality, attitudes are expected to change as a function of experience
This experience has changed my positive attitude to a negative attitude.
Fortunately, my attitude can and will change to positive again.
You said “I am of the attitude that things are being done the best they can, in the time mods. have to come here. Your additude seems to be that is not enough, you want more and we should do what you want.”
It is reasonable for you to say that it is your opinion that the mods are doing the best they can. That may very well be true. It is however unreasonable for you to assert that for me that is not enough, and further that I think that they should do what I want. You derived all of this because I asked a question.
That is absolutely ludicrous Kat. Of course when a person asks a question they would like an answer.
I am going to take a respite from this forum for a while before I say something that I may regret later. So there is no need to answer me unless you want to for the edification of other readers. I will not see your reply.
Tim
