Really? Here is a forum where everyone posts whatever they want. The moderators have lost control, and some have even joined in. It is an ebay UK furum. Gumtree is the UK version of Kijiji. This forum stared as a general interest forum and resulted in this mess. http://forums.gumtree.com/forum-4.html

Re: green eyed envy or sour grapes
I admire you for that kinda typing.......
Redfox said.....My typing??
Meaning what you typed out.....your thoughts.
One said......This forum has the capacity to be huge ,but only if they give each and
every member the right and priveledge to express their beliefs and
views without fear of being penalized for such.....................
Maybe there's another group, much larger who want heavy duty moderating. What you want and believe in, and what I want and believe in may not be necessarily right. I stand up for what I believe in but I am open to the possibility that I'm not right in what I believe in too. Did I boggle your mind?
It's just that so many times I've stood my ground on issues I honestly thought were the only way of thinking only to find out there was something minute that I wasn't taking into consideration and I wasn't totally right. Now I'm sure I've boggled your mind.
I have to attend quite a few seminars every year. I used to think what a waste. Many years later, I can see that each seminar I attended, I got something out of it.
I'm not always right.
Presently, in here and in relation to the discussion, I don't agree with what went on, but I am not sure if it was the right thing to do or the wrong thing to do. It's way too big a question for me to form an opinion on that. IMO of course.
AND......being a Grammie among other things, I've learned how to listen which is a wonderful gift in life. Sometimes by just listening......asking questions back.....is a gift to someone else. <---- thus my reason for not wanting that topic deleted. I had a pile of soft questions to ask the dude. I was hurt because he showed hatred, but I thought maybe by questions to him, he might hear himself. slash end of rambling.....

...just a little something to spin around in your head eh...
and.....learning my way around in here, these forums belong to something or someone? I think something.....moncton.net. We don't pay. They're free. They knighted Paladin as moderator. They gave him and us, the free loaders those rules (some which are cavemanish IMO) but it's their call. It's not how I would run things, but that's how it is.

Its a forum. Why not use your voice to evoke change in a more important area? It is Moncton.net's forum. They set the rules. Don't like the rules move on,thats how I take it. That simple. Some of us like the rules.

I never laughed so hard in my life, as watching those of you complaing about the Rules.
![laughing [laughing]](/emoticons/laughing1.gif)
Feel better now?
Guess what ?
You changed nothing.
You all talked big,, but lets see you put it into play.
Who will be the first to challenge Moncton.net on the Rules here?
Who has the balls to put their money where their mouth is?
This should be a hoot.

When posting in online forums, adhere to the following guidelines to ensure you get the most out of your online experience.
Rule 1: Argue! This is absolutely the most important rule of posting in any online forum and many of the other rules are based upon it. Be sure to start
an argument whenever the opportunity presents itself. In fact, even if
the opportunity doesn't present itself, argue anyway. After all, people don't come to message boards to share ideas, have polite discussions, or learn new
things; they're there stricly for the non-stop arguments so be sure not
to disappoint. Also, be sure not to back up your arguments with any
facts.
Rule 2: Flame other posters. This rule goes hand
in hand with rule 1. You're already starting an argument, so why not
insult someone while you're at it? Don't just disagree with the
previous poster's post; make it personal! If member John293 creates a
topic about why he feels the war in Iraq was uneccesary, you should respond with "No John, the war
was right and you're stupid for thinking otherwise." Better yet, throw
in an insult that has nothing to do with the topic of discussion and
make sure it's an insult about their appearance or something in their
personal life you couldn't possibly know anything about. Take the
previous example about user John293's anti-war post. An even better
response would be "No john, the war was right and you're ugly."
Rule 3:
Never, under any circumstances,use proper spelling and grammar. Doing
so will only confirm that you are a nerd. Instead you should shorten
three letter words such as you and are and express them as single letters like U and R.
Be sure to substitute as many letters in a word as you can with
numbers. Spell these words wrong as well. For example, instead of
typing "I Like to eat," you should type "i L31k 2 34t." Also remember
to never ever begin a sentence with a capital letter. This
will only make your sentences easier to understand and in turn easier
for whomever you're
