It could just be that Goldi has gone away for the weekend and doesn't know the site is down,or that there has been an equipment failure of some sort and they are working on getting it fixed.
Or it could just be that she got tired of putting up with all the crap,and just pulled the plug. I doubt the last one,though. I think she would post a notice if she were going to do this.

Has Goldi ever neglected LP to this extent?
I'm inclined to believe a combination of the grief of dealing mentally disturbed whining posters, the wretched state of the Union, and pressures we may not be privy to in her personal life may have caused her to say "SCREW IT!"...even for a week or so and beyond. Hope she's alright.
Pulling the plug permanently? Hey - who knows.

Seems to me she has been pretty much ignoring it for the last several months. Ever since she got the new job,anyhow.

She definitely has more patience than I do. I would have bailed long ago.
Hope she's alright.
Me,too. I'm hoping we hear something soon.

There was a poster called "Mrs Yukon" that posted an article with a pretty raunchy title.

"Mrs Yukon" (obviously a poster trying to yank Yukon's chain) posted several pretty raunchy articles and posts. It was obviously someone only interested in causing trouble.

I posted an objection to an antisemitic thread posted by this Mrs. Yukon.
She replied and mentioned something about freedom4um and hinted she was at LP to make trouble.
I doubt that was true. I think "she" was just trying to start a food fight between LP and this forum, to see who would fall for it. She might have been a Leftie, might have been a Klown fallen on hard times.
There was something kind of Klownish about the Mrs. Yukon posts. Don't get me wrong, I always thought the Klowns were funny when they went after the more ridiculous crap at FR. And they did a public service by exposing some of the online fraud and misrepresentations by various posters at FR with their fake military charities and such.

Below is the url for a very nice forum that may be well suited for LP members.

Articles look okay, looks like a small number of posters there.
I'm here because I know a lot of handles here from LP and from the old days at FR.

Well, welcome.
However trying to censor this forum will bring you much grief. By your own admission you report people for what you discern as anti semetic, this smacks of total censorship and that is WHY most of us are here.
Welcome to 4um, leave the censorship outside please.

How exactly will you bring me grief?

I was merely describing a thread at LP. It was pretty outrageous.
If people want to criticize Jews or Israel or neocon influence on American policy, that's okay with me if there is some factual basis. But insane rantings over "the jooz" is a detriment to any forum IMO. It's probably even more in bad taste to post such threads on a forum run by a Jewish person. I tend to think that is deliberate provocation. You should always keep in mind there are fanatics and shutins and nutjobs that will make it their purpose in life to drive a forum owner nuts trying to police their forum against harassment or bogus threads. We've all seen it before on these various forums. Personally, I don't like to see good forums disappear because of griefers and obsessed nutjobs.
Anyway, I wasn't so much commenting on antisemitism as I was over the apparent baiting of Goldi and how the Mrs. Yukon poster was making it appear that she was trying to poach LP posters to drag them over here.

I think it was just Buckaroo harassing and "spanking" Goldi with another one of his ID's, being precipitated by another one of her antics. Face it... she does do stuff that is sort of underhanded and irritating. I believe Mrs Yukon miraculously appeared after Goldi set up Rhino and banned him. And this bragging about multiple ID's seemed very familiar.

Could be. There are others one might suspect as well.

I think what appears to be inconsistency is, in part, simply that she doesn't spend her entire life obsessing over her forum. I thought it was clear enough that she sometimes ignores it for days at a time. Neglect isn't malice. And no moderator is ever entirely consistent or even objective in their standards.

Goldi never seemed to have the technical sophistication (or maybe just the time and interest) to really police her posters' IP addresses and keep banned people banned. So you had a majority of posters who generally lived by the rules and you had some disruptors and malcontent types who did their best to break the rules and ruin it for everyone. It's a shame those types probably have succeeded in getting her to pull the plug on it.
