For those of you who do not know, the "monitors" have taken it upon themselves to suspend one of our members for one week.
I don't care whether this person leaned right or left, but personally, I found nothing that was typed to warrant dismissal by this self-appointed group of monitors.
After all, we didn't elect them did we? Did I miss a vote somewhere along the line of who gets to monitor our statements in these forums?
Granted, we have the "basement' for outright profanity and personal attacks, but frankly, I'm dismayed at what I feel is an unwarranted dismissal?!
Perhaps the monitors need a monitor?
Granted, decorum must be maintained to keep this forum an enjoyable experience, but indiscriminate dismissal is not the answer.
Perhaps some of these monitors, who live online 24/7, need to take a step back and regain some perspective on just what objectionable material means? Because everyone has been guilty of this and everyone has different standards.
Thank you for allowing me to express my views.
(...psst...I had to throw that last sentence in there to suck up to the monitors, so they wouldn't kick me off the board. LOL J/K)
