I agree with that quote and will further expand on the analogy. If someone comes to my house, even though we have been friends for quite awhile, and offends me to the point that I no longer want any contact with them, should I then hold a jury type forum of our peers in order to see if they are allowed in my house? He11 no. I have the right (it is my house and my life) to decide I no longer want that person as a guest or a friend. The same is true for a webmaster. This is Randall's site and while he has admitted to making mistakes and asking people back, he also has the right to ban people that are continuously going against the rules.

As for the jury. That sounds great in theory, however in the justice system there is a process called voir dire where prospective jury members are vetted for personal bias or association with the defendant. How would we possibly do that here? Anyone can go back and read the previous posts, get information on the person and then, based on peer pressure (and it does exist in the form of online cliques) decide to make a decision based not on facts or objectivity but on personal feelings and popularity. What would the appeals process be for the person that felt slighted or wrongly banned by their peers?

I, like other people, find this continued drama to be a bit exhausting. I can change that by not reading the threads that turn from a Happy B-day thread, into a rehash of all the perceived and actual wrongs done to any members for as long as this site has been in existence.

As to the constant and tired argument of freespeech in relation to this site I have one sentence "Asked and Answered" Randall has explained this a million times. WE have the choice to stay or to leave or to just take a break. Is LL a regime? I don't see it that way but I do see it as another entity that has rules. We have rules in our every day life and online that we must abide by or suffer the consequence. If I call a cop a stupid, pig and flip him / her off, I can get hauled in for my actions. If I am in class and I use my freespeech to call my professor a total moron, I can get kicked out of class.

Where in the world are people getting the idea that being online and on someone's site is any different?

To the "new" people here -

figure out who you are talking to and what the hell you are talking about before you run your mouth, and then life and this spiritual space will become a lot smoother and lighter for all of us.

You may need them on the way down."

He obviously handles his business well enough in the "real world" to be able to pay a stranger's rent. He also obviously has a huge heart and more character than I've seen from a lot of people here in a long time. And some of the women who helped me during that time are no longer here.

Exactly!

It is easy enough to embark upon passing judgement upon someone's character and maturity without even knowing them and without realising just how incredibly foolhardy such an enterprise is.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE BEFORE YOU RUN YOUR MOUTH

This is what I just mentioned on Pluto's thread, about why this place can be so addictive. I didn't want to mention your name, but the thread can be found, unless it was lost in a glitch. (I can't find it on google, but just go back to the winter time, and scroll the threads next to Melody's name.)
