Dr. Conemangler is in derr haus

Good to see you here Dave.

I've heard there are a lot of my old Barracuda friends here.

Its complicated. What blew up yesterday has little to actually do with why I was banned. I chewed our worst member out, once again for responding repeatedly to a spambot. Some read the Koran BS yahoogroups get flooded with.

There is a long story about this particular member and problems. I had largely ignored the guy, but 22 members sent complaints to me so I had to do something starting several months ago.

Yesterday, he not only did the spam responses, but he slammed the moderators.

Now parallel to all this a group of "BOG-Elders" had formed to discuss ways to restore the list a little. Sort of an attempt to balance out things. Not heavy handed rules or moderation, but something. We invited Charlene to that forum. She freaked on us. Long stories and background there too.

So, my getting ticked off at this clown's 50th transgression, and insult of the moderators, resulted in a few harsh comments from me. Namely, this one: "If the moderators around here had any real balls, you'd be gone long ago."

Charlene stepped in and said okay, you want moderation, fine, and banned the moderator from the list completely. She also took the keys away from Tim and Dana the other two moderators. She said a lot of other completely whacked out things that prove to me there is no possible way to save the BOG as long as its her mailing list. You really need to read her post, its frightning. She is damaged goods. Pretty sad really to see somebody that bitter and angry at men and people with friends and lives.
