Oh look, yet another brand spankin new member come on board just to say nasty crap, this time directed at  Nia.  Oli, what ever you can do to get rid of  these stupid trolls who post under various aliases would be greatly appreciated.

Nia has more class in one damn fingernail than you have in all your bodies.

Sunicc,

Is there a double standard on this board? Nia can be rude to Molly, but God forbid someone speak their mind in return. Perhaps you should review a few posts on the yahoo usa board.

Whether you like her or not, Mystere (Nia) is hardly a new member of this forum or to the internet--for what is worth. She is fully capable of defending herself. From my observations of her over the past several years, I'd say that she has pretty thick skin. I'm grateful that she came to my defense on her Yahoo site where I was receiving considerable harassment.

Okay, here's the thing.  If I were angry at someone for something they said about a friend of mine on a particular board,  I would respond on that board,  not jump over to another board,  join up &  with my first post attack the person there.  

sunicc,

If you are a member of the yahoo usa board you would know that it is a perfect example from the book Animal Farm. 

"All animals are equal, some are more equal than others"

You do things your way and I'll do things my way.  Or should we all comform to what you think is correct?

Well that would certainly make MY life easier!!!

WOW.  Haven't been here for a while, and I know the "pod" people missed me.

I can not believe that a thread initiated by Oli, became exactly what he is trying to stop.   Interesting don't you think.

If my vote counts Oli, I believe that no one should be allowed to use your web site unless they inform you with some type of proof, who they are.  I do understand that there is money involved (hits for ads, etc), and that other factors figure in.  But, do you REALLY want to stop the trashing and bickering?  Afterall, there are many here that come several times a day, just to read the Peyton Place stuff (and that is "hits" for the site).  There is, afterall, only so much one can say about dogs.  Sure, there is a lot and no one knows it all, but it is easy to search this site and find out whatever info you are looking for.

So, in a nutshell, I vote for proper ID to YOU, but then you have to take care of business and stop others from using alias' left and right.  YOU also should send private messages to those who violate whatever policies you impose c/w this sites usage, and inform them that their privileges will be "pulled" if they continue to cross the line.

I must say that even though there are some here that I find ugly, crass, vulgar  and always spoiling for a fight, it ain't that bad that an adult can't deal with it.  If you are concerned about juveniles, then you have to make hard decisions.  Or not, and just let it go as it is.  I know enough about juveniles to know that nothing said on this site compares to what they hear at school, on their cell phones or in their circle of friends.  Parents who think otherwise are fools.

It is unfair that someone in business can be trashed on here (or anywhere else) without proper evidence or proof, but, that is the society we live in, and without a human moderator (which I do not think can work unless you have them 24/7 full time), it ain't gonna work.  Programs do not work well enough to keep people coming back to this site.  It would have to have the human element monitoring.  If this was my site Oli, I would just let it run as is and when someone stepped out of bounds in YOUR opinion, then delete them.  Sure, they may come back as another identity, but hey, world goes around in circles.  Just keep deleting them everytime they cross the line.

By the way folks.  If you are afraid of someone tracking you down and coming to your home to "get you", then don't come here.  Pretty simple really.  There are only about a zillion other web sites you can visit.  You do have a monster GSD or two, don't you?  What the heck did you get them for?  Lap dogs?

Oh, by the way, I promised someone this         ;-)

Anyone beside me notice that Capt. Mike and Abhay left at the same time?  Guess I won that one.

YellowRose:  Don't insult Molly by insinuating that she might be me :)  She's a lot shorter and has more hair  ;-)                       Just kidding YellowRose and Molly.
