I've been a member/guest here on this Forum for well over 20 years now.
Former owner & main enforcer of the actions by the members was a gentleman named "FlatGate." His real name was Carl Laco.
I can also recall a few conversations he & I had, via PM's and phone,, where he was very appreciative of how I would often inject a post into a thread,, that caused the posters to stop & re-think their attitudes, their writings, and in general,, be respectful towards each other. He asked me to be a moderator,, yet I politely declined,, as I'm "computer stupid" and honestly didn't have the time either.
Quite often,, threads are started that go in different directions,, than what the OP intended them to go.
It's because we are all human & have our own thoughts & attitudes.
Reading some of the posts here,, by a few people,, make me miss FlatGate. he would have politely & behind the scenes sent a few messages. And if these people didn't heed his advice about how they posted here,, they would just be locked out.
