I thought you were speaking as Toga II's creator. My mistake. I should have remembered the authors name. >I addressed the >moderation because I clearly feel that the use of the word "clone" has a >somewhat abusive nature here. > That's my point. You "feel" that the word has an abusive nature. Many people don't. So it's not really clear that moderation is the answer. Some words are clearly abusive. There are plenty of adjectives that one could use to abuse a program. But then again, it's a program. It's not personal. Even if I chose a particularly abusive term to describe Toga II, I wouldn't necessarily be describing or abusing its author or its fans directly. So where is the need for a moderator? I could write all day, abusing this football team, or that company... but if I never directly address an individual member of this forum, what is there to moderate? Especially when the abusiveness of a particular word is in question. Deep Blue sucks worms!!! see my point?
