I like this site always have until recently. The changes that were made to fullfill Keith's depression now has resulted in two mods who clearly have never been in the business world or any type of leadership role. As a result, less interesting topics, abusive and harrassing comments from these two individuals.

Just my thoughts.

I don't see this being the case teaschip. The site is more calm now then it has been before and I think Keith is doing a fine job as a moderator. I think that you simply have a personal dislike towards him and that affects the way you judge him as a moderator.
I also disagree with him on many issues, but I can still say that as a mod, he's very liberal and tolerant. He hasn't deleted even one post yet (as far as I know), he hasn't even been warning anybody. I really don't see what he has done wrong. I think you should provide some evidence when you make such accusations.

There were always abusive nationalists here, of similar mindset as the ones that are active right now. We are trying to be as objective in moderating as possible, but if you think we're missing something, feel free to let someone know.

I think you need to go back then and look at his posts towards me. Rude..Childish..Immature..not to mention when I post something even if he disagrees as a mod there should be some form of tact used constructively. Not sarcastic comments like "Nice cut and Paste". As well as vineyards "So who sucks now". "if you were a mod this site would be more in tune with the high school atmosphere" If you don't find that as being insulting, then I guess you have different standards than I.

Sorry teaschip, I haven't seen all of these comments and you are certainly right that they are not right. I definitely think this is something to address with them, it does look like it's a personal issue for Keith as well.

I would like for the both of them to leave me alone. Unless, of course I am out of line or breaking the rules. Then discipline me. But don't make me feel like they are two bulleys after me. That's how I'm starting to feel here.

That is definitely what it has to be like. I will talk to Keith about it.

Teaschip I am not a moderator of this particular forum. Moderators are free to post their opinions. The difference between your tone and ours is that you mainly harass by implying and we are a bit more straight forward.

Whatever kind of harassment it is, we tried to agree that it's not ok for us. We are trying to make this a more friendly web site, while allowing all topics to be discussed. Please stop harassing each other in any way you think you are doing it. If you disagree, just disagree without any personal remarks.

I don't understand this at all. Implying? It really doesn't matter. It appears you don't care for me, which is fine. I thought my post back to you about the Korean War was constructive and no where abusive. Then I get a smart ass response from Keith.

You actually brought up a very good topic and made me want to research it more. So, I thank you for that. However, I get frustrated when I get "Nice cut and Paste" from Keith.

Almost, like he was wanting to provoke an argument.

Yes, that was rather strange. Completely discrediting everything you said without any constructive argument. It was rather mean and condescending.

As I have already explained I am not a moderator of this forum. Every other moderator is free to indicate their opinions so why must I be bereaved of this right?

Teaschip, you are an advocate of a discourse I find disgusting. I feel free to criticize you, as you may have noticed yourself, I am posting lengthy messages indicating my opinions. Apoligies for the remarks you found offensive.
I find your entire point of view highly offensive. We surely don't need people to bully us, ridicule our values and expect obedience in exchange of money. We simply don't work this way.
