Being one of the minority females I guess I should speak up. If I'm offended you will hear about it. Using the term mixed company didn't bother me. Mods at this site or any other don't owe me an explanation for their actions. Like Scribe said if they are wrong they will be replaced.
I am more offended by the treatment of some of the ex-Fad folks than I am by terms or language.

Please don't think by any means that this is a majority, or even a significant minority who condone this bad treatment of ex-Fad folks. I think without specifically looking back that a couple of hot heads made some remarks, and they of course were just speaking for themselves. :(

It is going to take a wile but these boards are improving

Sorry you felt the need for such a long explanation, I feel that there are some high maintenance people while the vast majority of readers are much lower maintainance. So please do not get upset over the posts of a few while the vast majority support your efforts. :)

... The imagery of "mates...fishing" vs. "mixed company" ...


I have no intentions of entering this debate. it would be inappropriate of me to do so as a moderator. But I will explain the language of my previous post, one more time to clear this up.

Excuse me, but if I feel offended by somebody, I'll lash them a Fuzzy slap

or, in more severe cases, a

thank you modpotion#9 for your efforts so far. maybe it would be prudent to hold back a little something for the future? in other words, don't detail everything, leave something to the imagination. ;)

It is also worth saying that many of those whose posts are moderated will accept the process gracefully - and some have done so already
