I'm not sure what you mean here... manipulate in what way?
The
Talkboard guidelines allow for removal of a Talkboard member by a 2/3 majority vote if the Talkboard feels that member is not fulfilling their obligation.
My position is... Talkboard members are elected. If you don't like the way they act, you can choose not to vote for them next time. Otherwise, they are members. "Open mocking" can take on many forms, be it posting rude things on a blog, parodying someones member name, villifying moderators, gossiping at Do's, or posting a trip report for a trip that was taken with another FTers spouse. It's all childish and immature, but it happens. We all have to take responsibility for our actions, and if my actions result in my not being re-elected, or voted off the island by my fellow TB members, then I can choose to believe that it was a vast conspiracy by those who dislike me, or I can take the time to weigh my FT contributions (good and bad) and use it as a growing opportunity.
I still don't get what you mean by this.
You're welcome muffin
Ok, pookie, while much of this post mystifies me, I chalk that up to being in waaaay over my head. And this damn RAHR beer (brewed in Ft. Worth, not on Ted flights!)
OTOH, I forgive you for posting a trip report for a trip that was taken with my spouse. I think. So I hope no one doesn't vote for you for that.
My very first boss on Capitol Hill said something once: "You know what a good politician is? One that hasnt been caught yet." Present company excluded, naturally!!!!

Further, I'm going to post the following without attribution, although it was originally posted by one of the people who have posted in this thread (since I'm betting it applies to "both sides" of whatever the original poster is referring to):
I am fairly certain that it is a specific violation of FT TOS to post a direct quote without proper attribution. That said, IJAFIBB, so....
How many times does it have to be said: anything you post on the internet, you have to consider that it is being published on the front page of the nytimes...
