Point taken that some might interpret the thread as being started by InvJim125. I hoped that my second comment in here would explain it, but I can see that it came up short. Since Jim does not wish it appear as such, I will close the thread. I apologize for making it appear that this was his idea. My intent was to save his comment by making it useful. Because, frankly, having it in her thread was not.
Which brings us to your question
@InvJim125 about what would have happened had you not even prefaced your comments about Mandy with the missing LI angle, the short answer is that I would have deleted your post. Why? Because I made it quite clear exactly what type of comments were permissible in there. I commented after some posts in there, pointing out why they were allowed. Your reminiscing about Mandy is not a review and is only serving to bump the thread, which I am trying to avoid. I don't know why you don't understand that distinction. I would think that after all the drama in there, it would be clear to everyone.
Yes, you are absolutely right that some people have complained about her thread. And let's call it out to be clear. BillyS and Sophia Belle are the two people that we all recognizing as being behind that. There might be more, but frankly I don't recall any. And as
@big68 pointed out - thank you for that - I just can't win sometimes.
The problem is that I am doing it all alone. I see no input from members about this. The other mods have left it alone. So it is mine and mine alone to deal with it in the best way I see fit. And the way I saw fit was to apply the guidelines that Slinky has provided and try and stem the debate. I do try to be the voice of reason. I am trying to be fair and do right by the board. Unfortunately, every time I apply a fix, one side of the debate is unhappy. But that is always going to happen in these situations and everyone is going to have to accept it and move on.
And, finally, we have
@FixerJim, who never passes up an opportunity to act as the hemorrhoid up my ass. And we clearly see that because rather than just stop the comment about his observation of what went on in this thread, he makes sure to hammer home his point about how much I suck at being a mod by adding a masked critique of my adding photos to threads. Well, guess what? Nobody gives a fuck what you think. And if that pisses you off enough that you leave, I am all for it. Because I am sick of your incessant hounding of me. The only one whose opinion matters is Slinky. Write to him if you have a problem. Otherwise, STFU. I have been more than fair with you and approved every one of your criticisms of me. But it doesn't mean that you should be able to do over and over again. It ends now. Any future post that contains a gripe will not see the light of day. If you don't like that, email Slinky. Or leave. Take your pick.
