It seems there is more non-Buffett talk than Buffett talk. This site used to be all about Buffett with some small off topic stuff now it seems it is mostly non-topic stuff and a little Buffett. I can’t pin point why but this site just isn’t as much fun as it used to be. I am not siding with the moderators but most of them have been here as long as I have and I think they are trying to get this site back to what it was meant to be, Jimmy Buffett talk without the BS!
Talking about Jimmy Buffett on a Jimmy Buffett site???

I think it could work.

Seriously...people that have threads or posts deleted really need to just get over it. Is it REALLY that big a deal? If it is, then I would like to have your life because you must not have any REAL problems.

As for the whining.......please make it stop. You know, I went to ************ a few times. I didn't like it so I don't go back. I don't spend my time posting about how I don't like it. Know what I mean?

PEACE!

HOW ABOUT I GET THE POWER TO DELETE THINGS AS I SEE FIT?THEN SEE HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT IT

Then we'd have a message board about snowmobiles, hunting and auto mechanics! Oh what fun!

Umm....I had entire threads deleted on me before I was a mod. Did I ever once complain? NO! Why? Because it's not a big deal. Really. Things will be okay. It's just not worth complaining even once about. Certainly not OVER AND OVER.

Why do you keep complaining about him complaining about it? And why do I complain about your complaining about him complaining about it? I'm filing a formal complaint with the management!

AND APPLY THAT RULE TO EVERYONE!

Because the guy who owns the board doesn't have that kind of time to devote to it... he owns a website, not a society dictated by Roberts rules....

It's his board and it doesn't have to be fair or waste his time explaining every decision he makes. That's life.

Until he sees something you posted with a curse word in it and bans you. Then I imagine you'd want an explanation.

I might file one of those too.. My counter is WAY too small! How the hell am I supposed to cook a decent meal around here!

I thought they were here to fairly enforce the rules. Not delete threads because they personally don't like the subject matter.

No, but it would bug you. And you'd miss talking to the people here everyday and you'd want a second chance or at least an explanation. Tell me I'm wrong.

I was reading the thread when Gumby went off on Ann... If I personally attacked another poster using those particular explicatives, I'd think I'd pretty well understand why I was banned.... no matter HOW you interpret the rules, that clearly crossed the line.

Yours was more confusing (the first one AND the second one) but what are you gonna do - it's not a perfect world. I imagine it's a lot like speeding - don't be the guy going twice as fast as everyone else or you're going to get singled out.
