I've tried to rant less as I get older, but this needs to be said.  This board serves the community well for the most part, providing free ad space for the beautiful women of Atlanta, info for the guys, some visual pleasures and basic camaraderie.  Like any group interaction, sometimes a person or a few get out of line.  Also, like most communities, there are a set of rules and people in place to enforce and interpret them.  In this case, those people begin with DarkLove and myself.  We read every post, including many that you don't see.  Contrary to recent opinion, we really don't need the help of the peanut gallery.  If you have issue with a post, feel free to PM either of us to bring it to our attention.  I am 99% objective.  The thing that you don't see, in fact can't see, is the interaction between either of us and the person posting.  Often, when people jump onto a thread, commenting on moderation standards, they are simply acting a fool.  Feel free to continue, but beware that I'll shine a bright light on you and encourage everyone to point at you and laugh.

There was recently a thread that stirred up some shit.  As much as I hate to bring old topics forward, that thread is closed.  Please refrain from adding to it.  Do not start new threads to revive it, or comment on it here.  The show is over, so please get back to your lives.

In case anyone is confused, I believe in free exchange of ideas, including things that people may find unpleasant.  For those that have forgotten, TER is a fuck board, not a kindergarten.  That free exchange of ideas does not include this topic.  Post if you feel that you need to, but beware.  I'm mostly cute and lovable but I can also bite the head off a dinosaur and shit down it's neck.  You would be better served to keep knowing cuddly phil.

Rant over.

You're as fair as they come. Keep up the good work!
