Hmm I loved firing guys that hated me. Hey what's with this corporate drone stuff? I suppose you know that all of us are unpaid voluteers? But, I got a Christmas bonus this year, three tons of crap for making the guidelines for this site visible.

I hope you guys realize I was joking. I don't hate anyone here and I appreciate the volunteer effort you guys make and realize you that have to put up with a lot of crap with no compensation - other than firing people you hate.

I know you don't.

Thanks Steve.

Beers are on Bonni.

Ok, that's it for this week's group therapy session. We will meet again next Monday at the usual time and place.

Now, back to **** disturbing......
You are way off target with the view that this is some corporate drone BS. IB never came in and set rules, quite the opposite. The Moderators realized that things had gotten out of hand in many forums with many posts. The entire nature of Rennlist (as a whole) was rapidly changing for the worse. The MODERATORS initiated discussions about rules and enforcement. We, as a group, came up with a re-statement and clarification of those rules.

So no, we are not having to parrot any Corporate Drone BS. If you think it is BS, then let's be clear that you are saying that about the Moderators, not IB. We are trying hard to preserve a community that has done quite well for over a decade.

Now, for those that feel a need for tightly defined rules and strict definitions of what is acceptable - it ain't gonna happen here. This is a community and will remain such. Communities have gray areas, and they evolve as well. If you want rules, then I suggest you go to cornercarvers.com. It is a very nice forum about DE and racing. They have clear-cut rules. When you violate their rules, you are out - rarely a warning. Frankly, 90% of the stuff on Rennlist would not be allowed there. But there is little, if any, gray area.

Corporate drone comment is sarcasm directed at the corporate drones telling you guys what to do.

Mark...lighten up. (Marks's editorial removed)

Maybe you missed it - there are no corporate drones telling us what to do. Insults directed at so-called corporate drones are really directed at the moderators.

Maybe you should consider lightening up and stop trying to be a jerk. The moderators are always taking crap from users and we always appreciate those few who actually supports us in a difficult role and don't try to be jerks towards us.

Am I overly sensitive right now? Probably yes, but you have not seen all the childish behavior we are trying to deal with.

As I already said, it was SARCASM. Sheesh. And why did you feel the need to change my post above? Neither appropriate nor appreciated.

Merry Christmas.

Why not just close this thread. All we're going to do in it is argue about <expletive deleted>.
