Load that bullet Barney!

Several reports of harassing emails and private messages to members. This will not be tolerated. If you get these, send them to a moderator. Most of all, grow up the three of you.

Yes. When we do move it, we get accused of being liberal if the Left is winning the discussion. If the right is winning and we move it, we get accused of folding to the cries of the Right Wing. Both accuse the moderation team of being biased. Often it is easier to keep the fight in one thread than to let those fires spread to many.

Gentle readers. There were several off topic posts in the thread about Notre Dame in flames and there was a report about one of those in particular. The mod team felt it best to split all of those off topic posts instead of removing just the one because that is the fair way of doing it. Hope you all understand that it wasn't anything personal. - Helen

Thread closed. A report was made and it is best to just close it.

We discussed that too. In this instance, refrain from using the real name. It's just courtesy.

Obviously, the person wouldn't mind at that point. Obviously. We are on the same page. That is why Rafe said there was a lot of discussion back and forth to get this right. It's not about one or even two members. It was many more in the last few months who objected. Don't go assuming. Have a Mayberry Day!

This has run long enough. I'm going to lock this thread.

If you boys want to whip out the rulers, go ahead but in the next thread. I'm going to close this. I know none of you can wait to make everything about politics, proving to yourselves how right your side is and how wrong the other side is. Grow up. Act like you want the other people to act and not like they do. If the other gets pissy, be an adult and let it go. Don't fire back because you got shot at. Let's see who has more character from this point onward. Thread closed.

We've had 63 posts of name calling, condescension, innuendo, and all sorts of childish behavior. This thread is closed.

Degraded to the normal pattern. Time to shut it down.

This has gone on long enough.

Closed at request of original poster.

This has fallen to a slugfest of personal grudges and a cage match of opposing camps. Let's agree to disagree, play nice, turn the other cheek, and act like decent human beings. We all make mistakes and misunderstand others. Give it a break, people. Helen

Oh, hell no! No one invited you!

It wasn't that bad and you know it.

He is out of town and I can hide this thread by Wednesday when he gets back.

Trying to start a fight.

Oh, bite me.

Thread is left open just to tick off Texture.

Goodness Gracious. Arguing in a thread over GA colleges and universities. Please put your testosterone in check and act civilized even if you're in the right. Thread closed because people can't act like adults.

This is going nowhere fast. We've decided to leave it in the Cafe for now. For now. FOR NOW. Helen

I believe this one has gone far enough. Any more would certainly go politics and the personal attacks on another member we've let slide but enough is enough. If you don't want to read what a poster posts, don't open the thread. We're all adults here. The newspaper is full of articles we don't read and we just turn the page. Same here. Thread closed. Happy New Year. Only 364 more days in 2016 so shop Mayberry often. Helen
