As far as I am concerned, every time an instance of sexism or racism has been reported (one click is all it takes) we have taken action.

People are free to come and go as they please. Life's too short to try to win an unwinnable game and I suggest that anyone trying to pick a fight here just click someone else's forum.

Can I think of anyone who would do such a better job of administering this forum than Steve?

Nope.
Couldn't agree with you more Paul......

And Steve is #1 in my book.

Somebody who makes decisions, and no matter what that decision is, it winds up annoying a large number of people.

Indeed. Occupational hazard of being a member of a forum, I guess!

Policy Restatement?/Moving On

I was thinking we'd set up a special sticky(a bad choice of phrase , eh?) for Jim and Joe..make it: "Wet and Drama Queens' Corner".....and oh the fun.....

On the very serious stuff going on, I would suggest this cannot be successfully aired out in public. I would urge the individuals involved to repair to their respective corners, take a deep breath, and communicate privately. As Paul just said, folks are free to stay or move on....issues of general policy and treatment of individual cases of discipline should be resolved by Steve and the Mods. I would suggest a restatement of policy is a good step, and Paul's most recent post here is an excellent start. As to the issue of the women who have left and may(or may not) return, and disputes over what occurred between James, Steve, Lisa, and the other woman who voluntarily left the forum(name not recalled)...it's pretty much spilled milk, no?

Now where is that new sticky.....

Hell you say. The drawcard gets 60% of the nett. Industry standard's 75% so just be grateful I'm in a generous mood.
