This really bugs me...

...but I'm not sure what, if anything, should/could be done.

JimmyC's bolding of the social visit and then BigDog's response.

Any ideas? Should I moderate it?

 

[WoodWrangler]

I must be missing it .... the visits do usually turn pretty social. Is there a deeper meaning?

 

[ptt49er]

Read thru BigDogs post in the BoD intro and then Steve's post about his original intentions for the board and what his thoughts/views are.

Yeah, there's a deeper meaning.

Is being an *** allowed? Unbelievable!!!

 

[Douglas Robinson]

Let it be. Don't feed the fire. Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[SteveColes]

Actually, I deleted the 2 post with nasty message. But Doug is right so I re-instated them.

 

[ptt49er]

He's running for the BoD and he's going to post some stuff like that? WOW!

I wasn't sure if doing anything was the proper action, thanks for assistance.

I'm with Doug. The two are just showing how stupid and immature they can be without crossing the line. Kinda like young kids seeing how bad they can be before Mom yells.

I think both of them as usual are misunderstanding what Steve wrote about this site not becoming a Social Group. I read it as meaning this wouldn't become a Facebook type site where folks are free to share their meaningless crap with everyone. This site is woodworking based and any socialization is a result of the common interest in ww'ing.
But in Jimmy and Geoff's particular kink they have read it wrong and now are going to get on their imaginary soap boxes and pretend to start trouble.
Let it be, most folks know who these two are and will give them as little attention as they deserve.

Dave, I agree with you and several others. They see buttons brightly colored, and when children see these, they tend to keep on pushing them. It will pass if they don't get the attention they are looking for. Phillip, you are absolutely correct in bringing this forward to your fellow moderators to discuss. Thank you.

 

[ptt49er]

Thanks Tracy, I just don't want to see this blow up like it did a few months ago.

Philip,

I apprecaite you bringing this up. Alas, this kind of tomfoolery can get out of hand.

Judging from some of he comments I read in BigDog72's BoD post, this kind of stuff is not being well recieved.

One consequnce of their behavior is many of use are on higher alert for inappropriate posts from them.
