Let me clear this up a little for you folks. First of all, I communicated with Peter to let him know I would no longer moderate this board (Off Topics). I have a number of reasons, not the least that it take more time to moderate this board than it does the whole rest of the site put together. Rarely is there a day on this board that someone has not posted something over the top and has to be deleted in accordance with the rules.
FYI: I deleted the Pitino post...what started out to be just a rehash of what is in the press turned into a thread full of posts that had name calling, foul languange and slanderous remarks. As for you Lil Skeeter...I did not even get so far as reading your post when I deleted the thread because some of the posts prior to yours was so far over the top, I did not need to read anymore.
Peter put up this post basically to remind you folks of the rules and give you a chance to straighten up your act. I believe he is being more than fair with this board which reflects everything I have ever seen from him over the years.
Peter owns this site and allows you to come in here to join the site as a member. You must remember this site is a business and the basic premis of this site is fishing and is familiy oriented. When you sign up to be a member, you have agreed to abide by the rules. Your membership here is a privilege, not a right, displaying your posts here is a privilege given to you by Peter, not your right to post anything that you please.
Anyway, just thought I would clear up your questions as best I could. I will no longer be moderating the "Off Topics" board. I will still be on the fishing related boards as that is where I belong anyway, fishing is my specialty, not politics. If I wanted to moderate a political board I would be on a politically oriented site, not a fishing site.
I would ask that you folks on this board assist Peter by moderating yourselves and applying his simple rules above.
