I've kind of gleaned from back channel discussions with other disenfranchised that a lot of this seems to stem from Keith Outten, the head cheese. Keith was the one who got the ball rolling as the Pond was drying up along with his tech guy Aaron something-or-other. Things weren't like that in 2003/04, I can assure you. One of the original moderators was Ken Salisbury, recently deceased, and who I also knew, and he was definitely even handed, keep out the politics/religion/distasteful stuff (he was an Alabama hillbilly). Frankly, he was the only moderator I remember seeing in those days. As I got more heavily involved with WoodCentral, my time being divided between there, the wreck, and SMC, I spent less time at SMC--probably letting six months or more go by before taking a look, and eventually even a year. I could see the personality had changed. Then early this year Aaron decided to unilaterally change the color scheme about a half hour before my annual visit. It might not have been a big deal if it had been some reasonable colors, but it was horrible, and the whole community was up in arms about it. There were dozens of posts, virtually 100% of which were negative. Aaron got on and said he wasn't impressed, that he had several private emails supporting him. I posted something to the effect that such a claim was a long discredited internet tactic to try and garner support for a faulty or failed premise. I got a back channel email from someone I have never heard of chastising me for calling Aaron a liar and that he had deleted my post. I told him I didn't know who he was and to buzz off. I must have been put on a wanted poster, because a couple of days later I made an informative post alerting folks to an article which had recently been put up at WoodCentral which would have been of interest to all. My post was deleted and when I tried to sign in, I was blocked. Apparently in one of my semiannual hiati they had implemented a policy of no links to other sites. WTF?!? I've never been banned from anything in my life. But, I am actually wearing my Scarlet B with honor, as it is utterly symbolic that if a place chooses to ban me, it is clearly a place absolutely unworthy of serious consideration for anything but childish power plays. -- LRod Master Woodbutcher and seasoned termite Shamelessly whoring my website since 1999 http://www.woodbutcher.net http://www.normstools.com Proud participant of rec.woodworking since February, 1997 email addy de-spam-ified due to 1,000 spams per month.

Dennis Peacock and this is what he wrote:
I feel that I need to remind everyone that this is a Family forum and adult natured content will be removed. Another fish f**k heard from. Sounds like a good dose of old time G Carlin probably hadn't ought to hurt. Lew |

You know, your anti-Christian prejudice and bigotry are way more offensive than the original posting. This isn't the first time you've expressed such bigotry and it is somewhat tiresome. -- If you're going to be dumb, you better be tough |
