Buck there are times, and this is one of them, when I can't tell if you're doing your very own special brand of irony and humor. Anyway, it sounds like you don't want to give BATGAP forum a try, you want to stay with FFL so maybe you could simply ignore the posts that you think will be offensive. Participate in the other threads. There's always something interesting and non conflictual happening here in my experience as a relative newbie.

I feel we should convene a counsel of FFL elders to sit with the list owner and guide the FFL moderators to decide what to do with this problem and try to save this place for everyone. Let's us defer to the first, an original 10 individuals who came to FFL with a heart, mind and hope to create something good, a new Zion on the internet. Obviously the mob here now can not control itself here. Let us have the FFL elders to look out for the welfare of this forum. Ours is a need for something like a continental Congress to look out for us all. Click on 'messages' and then click on 'oldest'. Let us look back to look forward for a better FFL. Look at the first, the earliest posting and let us gather the wisdom of that group of elder FFL writers from that golden era of the then new FFL to better serve our future now. It is time to meditate on this and act. It is time to mediate as elders.
