Hello GC,
Yes I am the one and only Jaz, but I NEVER posted support messages such as NIM's to myself. Why waste my time with stuff like that? No I never did such a thing as that. Or if I did, I must have been doing it in my sleep! :-)
Since you said that he doesn't mess with pro JW posts and only messes with "those known to violate the FPP.", to me that shows a little bias and an unsafe way of going about things. If the Moddy's are only concerned with those known to violate the FPP as you put it, then Pro JW's inclined to post insults could easily say "no one sees me." And go about their business without worry.
Actually this is an "Open Forum for Jehovah's Witnesses and other interested ones." It doesn't specify what kind of interest should be shown.
Yes I have read the FPP, many times. And X JW and ANTI JW sentiments are NOT disallowed. No one here is trying to prosyletize into another faith, or promote athiesm (or if they are, no one is doing much about it). And no one is retaliating against the WTBTS in any illegal way etc. etc. There is nothing against XJW and AntiJW sentiments. Therefore just because they show such sentiments does NOT make them ones "known to violate the FPP" automatically and should be treated by M14 as equally as a PRO JW.
I don't really care what M14's posting name is, I could care less. It would be cool to know, but I don't need to know. If I met him personally, I'd only ask him WHY he is doing what he's doing, to get his side of it. That's all we want, for him to explain to the board why he is doing this.
", it was just in the past year that h2o felt that the posts were out of control and asked it's moderators to be more vigilant in moderating the board."
If this is the case then why aren't other Moddy's this active? Since when did he become the Lone Ranger? This board needs fair and unbiased MODERATING, NOT a VIGILANTE.
Yes, the FPP and Purpose should be a lot more clear. But if they are patting M14 on the back, then they are also shooting themselves in the foot at the same time. They may pat M14 on the back everytime COMF gets deleted, but is it worth the extra strength Tylenol when he simply reposts it? Is it really that worth it? COMF is a Moderator, sure, I'm sure he knows if he's going overboard or not, but I think he does it more to prove a point. And M14 simply isn't getting the point. Plus, what's up with M14 recommending EVERYONE that gets Deleted to be banned from the board? Most of the ones he wants banned are those who have been here LONG before anyone knew of him. Without those people, this board would be DEAD.
Well if M14 is doing what Rick and the rest of the crew wants, then that's fine by me. It ain't my problem. But I hope Rick and them realize what's really happening and hope they feel that the migraines are worth the trouble. I'm not barking up anyone's tree. I'm just calling it as I see it. If I'm wrong, then COMF and Doug and them can correct me, but I think the general concensus is that they want M14 to PUT UP OR SHUT UP.
I see what you are saying about the club thing, but the simple and plain fact is, if Rick wanted this place to be a JW only place, in other words, NO ANTI or X JW's, then he should have said so. Or just say it outright, not that it would make a difference I think, they'd still post somehow. But that hasn't happened, and the board would collapse if he did. He even recently expressed his feelings about the WTBTS and they weren't all PRO JW and "Faithful and Discreet Slave" this and that, etc. So I don't think that's the idea. So I think that M14 MAY BE acting under SOME direction of the H2O administration, but I think he has his own personal agenda on this.
And if I'm wrong, then why won't he at least say so? As long as he remains silent, then opinions such as these will manifest in many minds. If he at least spoke up a little and explained a little, maybe some would start to respect him more. But that's my opinion. But you know what they say about opinions....:-)
