Excellent example both of you. The combined exchange is what we are attempting to get away from here....as it really comes down to personality conflict, not political debate. Would there be consequences....Likely not at this point, perhaps a small yellow post asking to watch the tone, but likely not even that.
The point is , far too much that takes place in this forum is based on hinted, and sarcastic personal jabs. We have tried many approaches to limit, if not remove this type of posting with very limited success. Fortunately the Idea behind TFP is evolution, and growth, which we hope the new direction in here will lead to.
Moderators generally do not act alone in here, as we all discuss actions whenever possible with our peers before acting. We have found this a great way to remove doubt about what we do...at least for ourselves, we will never remove the doubt from all of you. After being called Biased from both sides of the political fence on more occasions than I care to remember, in virtually equal portions it has become something of a Joke to see anymore and has become irrelevant.
This new direction for TFP requires no member input...the rules are there for you to read. The descisions of your Moderators should be considered the final word, though exceptions are a part of Moderation and Human Nature. By making the actions taken transparent, we hope to make this a place that does not feel closed to members, and clarify why we do.....what we do.
