I told ya already - I get community room privileges!

Timely posting of this in another group...

Thanks for your insights,very interesting. I googled flounce, I had no idea there was such a rich history for bad behavior that passes for constructive criticism.

I was going to ask for a video of the flounce, but I think I better just shut up!

It takes hours of effort, someone having to read every post in their assigned section, and often requires "meetings" to justify any sudden action on the part of any given admin. I know - I did it for 10 years for one community, several other years for other communities. It's the suckiest volunteer job you can choose, because no matter what you do, someone thinks you are wrong.

It's really not brain surgery.

Is the poster debating the facts of the discussion or are they only jumping on the previous poster (what some call "attacks.") and ignoring the subject of the discussion? (i.e. "Skippy, you're spinning" and that's all they post as a response.)

Personally, I think there are more people who would participate if discussions were an actual debate with rules than those who participate because it's a free-for-all.

I completely agree with the latter part of your post.
