LOL, oh baaaby! What I was thinking about is the flirting that goes: Person A: blah blah blah *heart* Person B: :P Person A: stop teasing me Person B: make me Person A: oh you're so funny :P All that one-liner stuff that just takes place between two people and should really take place in a personal thread just between those two and often adds a few pages to a simple thread.

The moderators are:Sweet Peas In The Rain (moderated by Lexxigramer, Ami Anne, charmainec, Venus) I have of late been taking most of my issues with people breaking the rules; to Randall because Ami has made me feel I do not dare censure/chastise because sometimes when I have; Ami has become quite defensive of the trouble maker(s); and tried to paint me out as attacking people instead of enforcing the rules. Randall had to intervene in 2011 when she coddled a rule breaker I had chastised. I tried to negotiate a truce with Ami, but she refused and has yet to accept a truce since the worse (of several since she joined)attacks on me in 2011. She was closing my threads back then and Randall intervened. It is very difficult when a mod defends the rule breakers whom she likes. Not trying to stir up trouble; but mods must all be willing to get along and not condone bad behaviour just because someone is their buddy. (in fact some people have left LL because I was a big meany enforcing the rules; and some claimed to be my friends until I chastised them as a moderator, then they labeled me as enemy, for choosing LL over them. ) Cannot please everyone when you are here to enforce the rules. Thankfully Randall and others like these moderators at that time agreed with me that the rule breaker was way OTT: juniperb, NickiG, sunshine9, And also a Knowflake agreed with my assessment of the situation. mochai. On that note mods need to get along with each other under the mutual positions of being moderators. We do not all have to like each other. I again ask for Ami to treat me like a fellow moderator and not her arch enemy. Truce for the sake of LL Ami?

I shall respectfully take your word on that if you are referring to the desired truce. However you are NOT being clear, and so I must ask you to clarify your position please.You do mean the long awaited for truce betwixt us I assume? Edited to add: Ami it has been almost 3 hours since the above post. You either agree to a truce or you do not. I have repeatedly for years asked for a truce with you for the sake of LL. You have repeatedly refused. Please state your intentions clearly. IP: Logged |

Thanks Randall, I can see how my "over it" comment could be seen as a rage quit. It dawned on me after I wrote my last response, this is not something horribly important to me. LL is your baby to nourish and I understand you are completely capable of maintaining it any way you feel is most appropriate. As a person who had no difficulty abiding by the rules, I am personally disappointed to see Sweet Peas go. I see the benefit of having a space where members can let their hair down and put their feet up on the furniture (within reason). I understand that when people start thinking it's okay to crap on the couch and make out on the floor, one starts to wonder why they created the space to begin with. If anything, I take issue with the comments from people who have never been interested in participating in the Sweet Peas part of our community. People who post jaw-dropping and offensive content elsewhere and then come here to champion the castration of SP. It is a struggle seeing people who rarely participated in SP with their torches and pitchforks high in the air. I have participated in several productive and healing conversations about sexual identity, sexual orientation, gender and transgenderism, playful flirtation, fear of sexual relationships, sexual abuse, sexual empowerment, prostitution, etc.. All remained mature and astrology related. These topics don't have a place in other rooms and quite frankly, people's religious opinions/bias surrounding these kinds of topics shouldn't have a place outside of DD. They certainly shouldn't have any part in moderating a room like Sweet Peas if they are incapable of being set aside. IP: Logged |

Lexx, You seem to have to overexert yourself. I think you need some help in there. It's not meant to be an insult to other people, but if you can't do your job, it might be time to give it up (not talking about you). That's only sensible. Hopefully it does not incite some rabid people's ire. IP: Logged |

I take the blame. It was the description that I wrote. And my lack of leadership. Epic fail. But the four Mods there are ideal.IP: Logged |

& don't forget when you wrote some pretty raunchy instructions on how to pleasure women, when that forum first opened. You joined right in. So, it's partly your fault. I think like a number of threads that started at that time, they got deleted altogether (when there was that huge behind the scene fight, and they all started going "poof")IP: Logged |

That's really messed up. I guess that comes from being such a popular board, you get a lot more kooks. We didn't have that problem on the boards I was on (1 or 2, but they were paranoid about everyone else as well). I've always found the mix of being so conceited as to think people have nothing better to do than talk about you combined with raging insecurity to imagine whatever they're saying must be really bad to be a fascinating mix, however, as it seems so paradoxical.

Actually, there was nothing raunchy (imho) about anything I posted; nor was anything I said ever deleted. I deleted a string of someone else's, which caused some contention. Long past. Onward and upward. And much good came of it. That's why we have the rule to not delete. Nothing of mine was deleted (unless on that string). But I do take full blame, as I have already stated. Poor leadership on my part. Lately things have gotten quite raunchy (imho), which is the reason for the current discussions. IP: Logged |

Well, I won't post the links to the deleted threads that people sent me back then (during that sad drama). It doesnt matter anymore. Some members eyes here are like hawks though. IP: Logged |
