For pete's sake, people.
I started a minute ago with the goal of writing a blog post about how commonplace abuse of certain staff members has become, but now sitting here writing, I'm at a loss for the words to write.
I've recently suspended a couple of members for their actions in regard to certain staff members. All of us are unhappy with the way people are treating one of our staff members. It's going to stop.No more leniency from me in this regard. If you want to trash and attack anyone on the board, a staff member in particular, you're going to suffer the consequences.
It consistently amazes me how angry people get over nothing. That's all this is. Nothing. In 20 years, 10 years, probably 18 months, what consequence will this forum have to your life? Little to none, probably. In the scheme of things, what consequence does it have now? Enough to first of all, break the rules enough to be punished or warned in the first place? No. Certainly not enough to get angry at someone for correcting your mistake. Definitely not enough to warrant the barrage of personal attacks recently directed at us.
So stop it.

When I disappear, do you fear for the sister I took?
When I disappear, it is clear I am up to no good
I am drearily bloodletting this bedwetting cosmonaut
"Son, the last thing you'll realize you need is what you've already got"
So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been
Please drop me a line with a hook and some raw bleeding bait
(one, two, three, four)
For I am uncaught and still swimming alone in the lake
(five, six, seven, eight)
Shimmering under a moon made in anger and haste
Shimmering like a penny out of reach in the subway grating
(Shimmering like a coin kept safe away, you never give in to anything)
So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been
We could leave it alone,
I’m sure there’s someone who knows
Where you’ve been
You could never work well with our group
Not with the faults we found
So we've fixed you with cement galoshes
And no one can save you now
Unless you have friends among fish
There’ll still be no air to breathe
You could drink up the entire ocean
We’ll still find someone to be everything we know that you’ll never be
So touch me or don’t
Just let me know
Where you’ve been
Or we could leave it alone
I’m sure there’s someone who knows
Where you’ve been
Great Song.
