alright then privilages it is.

A moderator has great influence over the content of what is posted.  You are
underestimating the power in deleting threads and banning users.  Moderators
have the ability to make someone's voice unheard by deleting their threads.
Sorry that I don't know your names, but I have not cared to much to learn them.

>3) Yes, and after this post of yours here today, I would ask you to grow up yet

I tried to bring this subject into the open so that I may see if others are
having problems of the same nature.  I am glad I did this and I would do it
again.  Apparently their is someone who loves to make trouble and they are based
around the ccc news forum.  I don't know who that is so I am not accusing one
named individual, but it was awfully suspicious that I was stalked then
privately insulted.

>Your earlier post was not only off topic, but it was abusive (calling unnamed
>people on the forum immature kids, telling them to grow up, and making penis
>size references is hardly nice, let alone the other trash in that message).

I'd like to know which line is in reference to penis size?  Frankly if you feel
that was included it appears you have some problems with this and that is a
sensitive issue for you, but I never mentioned that.  Yes the letter might have
been offense.  I had just been stalked!  Its called a knee jerk reaction.  I was
angry and felt my privacy had been violated.  In part because this forum posts
the name given in the sign up form and not someones login name.  That is very
odd I have never seen a forum that chooses to post real names rather than
someone's chosen login name.

I will appologize for that offensive letter, but I had every reason to be mad,
and I don't like the way you are telling me to grow up.  Stalking is a federal
offense and while it is not an offense on the internet it can have the same
reaction to the victim.  I think you need to handle the matter more seriously.
Only you and the stalker seem to think that this is no big deal.  I don't find
any of this funny!

>When you signed up for this forum, you agreed to not be abusive, to not post >off topic, and to abide by the moderators decisions. But, here you are, not >only posting yet another off topic post, but you are now complaining about the
>decision of a moderator.

I sure did agree to those things, but I never agreed to letting you use the name
I had given you, also I never agreed to be stalked.  This is something that
upset me so greatly that I decided to react to it.  I already appologized for
that offense, but I would like to see an appology from my stalker for making a
sick joke.  And I would like to see some fine print where I authorized the use
of the name I gave you during sign up.

>And you are now calling my action "cowardice" of telling you to grow up in an
>Email. At least I did it privately and not here in public like you did.

yes I addressed this in public because it is not a problem I have with obne
individual of whom I can email.  I also thought that the rest of the room should
be aware of the actions you took as a moderator.  Insulting a person who feels
victimized and was obviously biligerent with anger is something I call
cowardice.

What?  Sorry but unlike you I don't see any point in your response here.
