Because he's the moderator and you're just a pissant with a grudge against me trying to assist another pissant with a grudge against me in your mutual quest to trash me and other people you don't like. And everyone here knows it, no matter how much you posture otherwise. < snipping the rest of Edg's self-serving bullshit > Here's the real issue. And since Rick says I'm already at 35 even though my hand-count says otherwise, even counting the one I offered to Judy, I'm going to "go over" by one post to make the point that Edg is trying to obscure. Because *I* respect the limit, unlike these two assholes, I'll take it off of my next week's tally. The 35-post-per-week limit was put in place for a REASON. That reason is that several people were completely out of control and using their ability to post as much as they wanted to drown out other posters and thus drown out ideas they disagreed with. Think back to one year ago, October, 2006. During that month: * shempmcgurk made 541 posts -- that was 11.6% of the total FFL posts for that month, an average of 129/week * sparaig made 533 posts -- that was (11.4% of the total FFL posts for the month, an average of 123/week * authfriend (Judy) made 482 posts -- that was 10.3% of total FFL posts for the month, an average of 111/week Almost everyone else back then was writing pretty much the same number of posts they are today; that is, they had the self control to say only what needed to be said. Only a few posted more, and none of them at even anything *near* what the three people above were posting. It seems clear that at least one of the posters above still feels that she "deserves" to post more, and is willing to do whatever she needs to do to post as much as she bloody well pleases. It also seems clear that she has an ally who is willing to help her try to bring back the Bad Old Days of FFL, as long as she uses a few of her "extra posts" to trash the guy Edg has developed an obsession against that is almost as insane as hers. There was a *reason* for the posting limits. There still is. I personally think that the Bad Old Days are well worth keeping in mind. There is only one bottom line here. Some people feel that they are "better" or "more privileged" than others, and get to do what the fuck they want, no matter who else disagrees. Edg makes a big show of "cleaning up the flaming," and then turns into the biggest, most out-of-control flamer ever. Judy pretends to lose track of how many posts she's made *every fucking week* in an attempt to push the envelope and post more than anyone else. As I said back then, in the Bad Old Days, "Those with the least to say seem to feel that they need the most posts in which to say it." I say it still. Don't let the pissants ruin your forum again, Rick, now that it's finally under a modicum of control.
