Yeah NAZTY, Bit, Sporty, GS430 Guy, and others, I hope you didn't take any of my cynicism to heart. That is just my style of debating when I can't debate in person. In person, my thoughts come out of my mouth as fast as I think them up. On the keyboard the transfer of thoughts is ten times slower, which makes it harder for me to tackle five or six opponents at a time and I lose patience with the silly arguments that I otherwise wouldn't get irritated with. No hard feelings

Well I closed the Iraq thread. I think ya'll would agree I don't close too many threads. This one was close because I felt the opinons were being forced, not shared, as well as personal attacks. The other reason is I did not want the knuckleheads Daddy-O is talking about to jump in and add crap.
Daddy-O closed it, I re-opened it, then I re-closed it. If there are no personal attacks, I am sure no moderator would have any problem with the thread staying open.

I'm really getting sick of Daddy-O "involving" himself in threads that he is not contributing one ounce into. All he does is undermines my arguements against a war with Iraq and it is clear that he supports fascist ideals of "controlling speech and opinion" and "centralized totalitarian control over everything". He has done nothing except thwart the forward development of the conversation in the Lobby. He doesn't add any relevant input except to make known his presence and his omnipotency. I will go as far as to say he, and he alone, is on a power trip. He draws very vague and exorbitant support of his actions in connection to the actual Forum Rules, which is even more disturbing. The fact that this thread has been locked, unlocked, relocked, and unlocked again numerous times---and each time a productive debate is detracted yet manages to survive with much member interest---is an open indication that moderator judgement (in this particular instance) is questionable.
I will say once again that I am not alone in this belief, that many silent members are also disapproving of this recent string of overmoderation. And the numbers of these annoyed members have grown very recently to dozens. I think some moderators need to re-evalutate the purpose of moderation, which is to help conversations flow, not bend them to their own liking. I don't even look forward to logging on to ClubLexus anymore because really, what's the point if you can't even speak your mind without someone like Daddy-O jocking your every post?

For some reason this isn't the first time I have heard this. Oh well, this is how CL is these days.
What did you say in your post that needed to be edited?
I checked this site about 3 times today just to see where the convo was going in this debate, now it is closed again?

If you have a problem with another member's comments in a posted thread, do not respond with any further comments that will aggravate the situation. Reacting to a hostile post with more hostility puts you in jeopardy, and puts you at risk for action against your account even if it’s another member’s fault. Members have two options of recourse:
