I will take a few deep breaths... and I need to sleep on all of these before I can post something more articulate (SP?)

But a few initial impressions (If I offend PLEASE E-MAIL ME

*We need some type of moderating *BUT* it must be done very carefully.
*Is what's going on Censorship or not? I don't know what to saw. It concerns me but I think there's a soluation... Read this:
*May I propose (And I probably have no power to do it) That if a post has to be deleted that we get some kind of brief explaination (the posting was offensive) and not just take it off. It's very disconcerting to see empty spaces. (It can be somethign as simple as "the information is irrelevent.")
*And on a second note: maybe allow us to post either here or via e-mail if we have a disagreement on the editing.
*Rudi: I could never see any reason to edit anything you do. You are among the least dangerous people on the board (ME after tonight I may be deleted forever!)
*Merry: I will be crushed and hurt if you decide to leave F-T. I really really learn a lot from you and enjoy your view of things (I alos enjoy Baobab's, Rudi's, Matt Wald's, PremEx's, NJDavid (Who saved me from having a stroke,) Randy's... hey just about everybody's (Especially my hero and bestest F-T buddy... JAWS!) Basically Merry, you are needed here. I need you!
*F-T webmasters... if you have to edit this post please let me know. I just want it noted that I'm posting after a long flight from MSY-ORD-EWR and several minor crisises at home but I have to post.

I think I have just hung myself but right now I have take deep breaths, am calm (From NAwlins) but OH SO Depressed.
