If you are looking for a post and it has disappeared it was probably deleted by me int he past few minutes. As I wrote in a certain thread

quote:

NOW SOME WORDS FOR THE PEANUT GALLERY

You know what is really sad? The OP will probably never see useful information here because they will be turned off by the childish behavior that has become a daily occurance. Enough already. If you don't like someone's comments, take it OFF the board. Do not try to read into what someone writes and don't antagonize! If someone bothers you coninually, click the Ignore button on them. My 8 and 9 year olds act better than many of you! JEEZ

which (as if you all need reminding) means STOP IMMEDIATELY which opf course did not happen.

Jokes are fine to a point but not fine when they are only there to antagonize. Not sticking to the subject is not okay. All this type of stuff needs to be immediately taken off the board. I am going to have a close to zero tolerance policy. Behave and you will be fine, don't behave and you will be zapped.

Thanks Cristina for deleting my post. I thought I was answering a question and not antagonizing anyone.I find it interesting you kept jhelm's post though generalizing about how italian men are momma'a boys and self-centered.

I would like to report the last sentence of the above post to the Administrator.

In case that sentence won't be deleted, I'm sorry to have to add "I find it interesting that she kept mine on Americans being bigoted and insular".

Regards.

Don't you people have anything better to do than be rude and confrontational with each other????? What is going on here? I personally appreciate Cristina's efforts to keep this board civil and safe.

Sometimes I find myself arguing on the board, and you are completely right, some of us more than others have a tendency to argue and get off topic and that IS completely inappropriate when it goes beyond civility and respect for others. I also appreciate Cristina's efforts, which serves also as a reminder (at least for me) that if someone attacks you don't have to attack back.

Well said Laurie!

This is a new low- never seen people fighting on a thread Cristina has posted to explain her moderation before.

AUtumn, sorry I deleted your post but I was just deleting away. I left the first two responses by accident. Didn't scroll back up enough. Will fix that.
