I have to be honest, I'm completely distressed at what's happened to this forum. The fighting and the distrust between those for and those against Obama has gotten to the point where, in my opinion, it's destroying the forum. What's the point of having an open free speech venue when everyone is bozo'ing everyone else?

When I read my mission statement and what Freedom4um was created to be, I don't even recognize the place anymore. There will be changes made in the near future as I decide what is best for the continued growth of this forum.

Which is exactly why Obama is there. F4um is a microcosm of the larger body politic...with a more colorful cast. : )

Is it possible to code far fewer slots into the bozo list? If those with a penchant for using it knew they only had three bozos to bozo, they might be less apt to see it as their first option.

I'm glad you guys are here. This country is going into the crapper quickly and this is one of the last of five or ten truly free speech bastions left on the net.

Thanks.

yes, it is.

yes, it is possible and i think this is the best solution/compromise.

I think keeping people's bozo count secret would be better. The real problem here seems to be people freaking out because a lot of people have them on bozo. If you took the count off the filter page, they would never know if someone had them on bozo. They could just assume that nobody did.

People could then avoid harassment and insults by using the bozo and those on the receiving end would be none the wiser.

robin has 14? on bozo. In your scheme, her unanswered exchanges w/posters would be viewed by them as what?

It is not a scheme JT, it is an attempt to escape hateful, racist remarks that do not make my day better. I'm here because I enjoy being here. When I can no longer enjoy myself I'll be gone.

As I said before, I never used bozo until now. It is very empowering to be able to put someone on the bozo list, like not answering the phone or the door. Sometimes I had someone on the list just for a day, because they were posting a lot of really mean-spirited posts that day.

You want everyone to be forced listen to your hate and anger, well that's not my idea of freedom.

Just as an example, what has peppa or mirage said to you that is racist?

You'll notice that in my reasons for putting someone on bozo, reasons I gave yesterday, they were not always for racism.

Part of the existing bozo filter is to be able to block posters without naming them. My intent is not to hurt anyone's feelings but to spare my own.

That said, in partial answer to your question, I find Peppa to be a very contentious and disrupting poster, bent on small-minded meanness or just trying to destroy this forum. Last night I found it easy to agree with Pinguinite that she is a fraud.

I have no intention of naming every person on my bozo list to you and why I bozoed them. Do you report to Chertoff now? However, in some cases I told them so at the time and gave the reason why.
