I read recently posts regarding censorship, expression of speach, etc. I just wanted to say something aside from everything. When I first became mod of UC, I thought that was the coolest thing. To talk about spirituality, religion, theories etc. I do not like talking about sex, and do not know how to "police" talk about sex or advise people on their communications regarding this matter. I have come to the conclusion that I will not read posts re sex as I do not want to contribute or make people feel bad about posting thoughts on the matter. Judgments are the last thing I want to do. When I was first mod I made it a point to read everything, as I'm sure Randall and all mods would try, but recently, I give up. Sometimes there's too much data, not enough time, and sometimes I just don't care. If you want to post stuff, and you're not booted then great, if you are, then cya. That's all I want to say. Any questions or threads re under the UC list of topics, I will gladly reply to if I feel I have anything to add.

Heaps of Love,
Dean.

And always remember, this is your Village, this is your place. So be free, and keep things neat!

Maybe this is applicable on a global scale

Again, it's good to hear from people from both sides of the fence.

future_uncertain, I don't really wish to continue the debate, I was just stating that I wil NOT read these threads as I am uninterested, but they also grow so rapidly and I don't have the time. If people get offended, then they should refrain from reading it. I don't really have or want power, hence I wouldn't really step in as this is Randall's site and he's way better at managing it than I could be. I'm just saying don't expect too much from me - I'm not reading them.

I wasn't implying that you were involved in the debate. Rather, I was making a reference to the level-headed way the topic is being discussed in another thread. And giving you props for your display of tolerance.

Would you do me the honour of speaking to her about this pls.....not acceptable behaviour and Pixie DOES NOT need this treatment. If it was me, I would let it drop, but I will defend people I care about.

Thanks Dean

AND you cannot teach people to respect you, have manners or have values similar to yours - THAT'S WHAT PARENTS are for.

Having said that - respect to you all as I don't mean to offend anyone.

seems to me [in my perosnal opinion blah blah blah] that the things you have found offensive, tended too be when soemone would try and let you know, that it was your personal insecuritys causing you to offend so many in your more selfrightous moods.

How's the wife and baby? Have you agreed on any names yet? Geez, I remember that being so hard with the first child. In fact, we named her on the way to the hospital....

I recently had a friend/aquaintance who was older mid-late 40's, she brought the baby home without naming him until she could get the "feel" for him. I believe it was like 30 days before he was officially named.

Hope all is well in Aus!
