What's right is right. This thread is off beam and the insults are INCREDIBLY mild. You should have seen me and Justin tear up last year......

This dang server won't allow any long posts--it cuts off, so you gotta do it bit by bit.

Anyway, it's been an embarrassing, unfortunate experience. I hope it ends here--I don't even recall how the whirlwind swooped things up. Yet, this was comin'...and it's really up to Casey to prevent future controversies like this, and innocent folks from leaving the board. I hope she and those of like mind realize that their PROTECTIVE MOTHER/ADORING FEMALE THING is only THEIR values, not necessarily the way to enforce protocol on this board. That their approach is more "Heart," while folks like you and I are probably more on the "Head" side.

Well...actually I'm probably too much "Heart" in another way, which is why things spilled out of hand. That's also why I appreciate more levelheaded folks like you, John Lucas, Suzi, and Craig. You're all like anchors in a swirling sea of discontent. Thanks.

Hey, Yvette Mew-mew!!--at 545 views (the most on this site!!), let's all charge admission, and BUY THE OFFICIAL SITE!!!!!!!!!

You're right, Meow-Woman--Folks dig CONTROVERSY. Like Sally Jesse & Jerry Springer...National Enquirer & The Star...Hockey rink fights & angry batters going after the pitcher, etc, etc, etc...

BUT I was really hoping this site would be A REFUGE from all that. I'm still hoping...

METROdee - I don't know what the problem with you getting logged off when posting, maybe you should try changing some settings under board options in your user-cp.

OTHERS - The whole point of this site is to discuss Steven Seagal and his movies not to argue with one another.

This is a fan site, you can discuss, but don't offend. For example, many people don't like Steven Seagal's movie The Patriot or Ticker, but they don't have to make fun of it! You can just say you don't like it and give your reasons.

Ragarding the number of moderators, the more the better. You can never have too many people making sure a board is running correctly. Even the moderators can have varying opinions on posts. The moderators were chosen because i recognized them from the early times on the official Steven Seagal forum.

As for the official site. Steven Seagal probably pays for the hosting and running of it. He doesn't create it himself! I'm sure he won't even have much time to check it out himself. The forum there might not return, possibly they're having bandwidth issues or something!

In future if posts where people start flaming each other the posts will be closed!

Smile dammit!
That sounds a bit like a ban on freedom of speech. While i don't agree with a lot of what Metro said recently, he is entitled to an opinion.I, for one will not slavishly agree with things i know i don't! Don't make the same mistakes Rivka did, who did her best to destroy the old place....

I'm not banning freedom of speech. I'm just stating there shouldn't be any name calling.

I know argue is the wrong word i used!

Craigster, it would've helped IMMENSELY if you had intervened EARLIER--much earlier... Where were you?? I think the technical issue is a problem w/ your server--how long it's timed to remain on before shutting off, though I don't really know.

As for Seagal, of course I realize the set-up you've suggested. That's how rich people often are--they throw out the cash, and let everyone else do the work (even take care of their children).

As for your ruling about "NAMECALLING," I'd like clarification, because this little issue is what's kept me going on and on--ad nauseum--with this silly argumentive thread.

ARE YOU SAYING THAT A MEMBER CANNOT SAY SEAGAL IS A "JERK" PROVIDED THAT MEMBER GIVES AN HONEST OPINION AS TO WHY, AND IS NOT JUST BEING MALICIOUS (LIKE LOHAN & OMAX ON THE OLD M.B.)?????????? WILL "NAMECALLING" LIKE CREEP. DORK & JERK BE FORBIDDEN HERE--NOT AGAINST OTHER MEMBERS (INAPPROPRIATE), BUT AIMED AT SEAGAL?????? WILL CASEY BE ALLOWED TO JUMP ALL OVER FOLKS--BACKED UP BY HER ALLIES--RESULTING IN THEIR BEING OFFENDED AND LEAVING THIS BOARD???????? SHE'S DONE MORE "ASSAULTING" AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE "VERBAL ATTACKS" THAN ANYONE HERE!! AND EXCLUSIVELY OWING TO A SINCERE, NON-MALICIOUS NEGATIVE OPINION BEING EXPRESSED ABOUT SAINT SEAGAL--NOT "NAMECALLING" PER SE. REAL NAMECALLING IS WHAT IDAHO DID IN RESPONSE TO CASEY'S VERBAL ASSAULTS...

I need to know, because my membership on this board DEPENDS ON YOUR REGAL DECISION. If you rule against freedom of speech--that is, that "jerk" is a forbidden work here in reference to Seagal--then I will leave here NOT IN ANGER --like Idaho--BUT W/ A SENSE OF RELIEF KNOWING I'M GONE FROM AN UNDEMOCRATIC BOARD. In that case, I will be GLAD TO RETURN TO THE OLD OFFICIAL SEAGAL SITE, BECAUSE AT LEAST THERE WE HAD FREEDOM OF SPEECH, IF TOO MUCH OF IT.

Please advise--I await your decision and will not post here again until I hear it. Thank you kindly!!

Sincerely,
METROdee

P.S. Much as I hate to say it, your ill-timed--tardy--intervention here may have DONE MORE HARM THAN GOOD, since the issue on this thread appeared to have fizzled out. ANY M.B. needs its Commander-in-Chief present as much as possible--especially when he advocates a the-more-Moderators-the merrier policy, and DOUBLY SO when he advocates each Mod to interpret the ground rules INDIVIDUALLY--a recipe for CONFUSION and even disaster the kind of which brought down the old, Official site.

For some reason, I've been LOCKED OUT of Craig's old site, so could not cut & paste what I wanted . So I'll have to wing it--

Please refer to the "Movies" section of Craig's old site (Steven Seagal Forum). Once there, go to the LAST THREAD...it's by Andre Roger. He believes Seagal's career is over due to HPD's dismal performance.

Then go to the 5th posting in that thread--it's Moderator Casey's reply. It's a VERBAL ATTACK," A PERSONAL "ASSAULT" IF EVER I SAW ONE. CASEY implies Andre--who's left this board like Idaho--is NOT A FAN because of his opinion. She directly implies ANDRE IS AN "IDIOT"--A DIRECT QUOTE. And she signs off w/ "His career IS NOT OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW DID YOU GET THAT?"

I ask, which is more harmful to this Message Board--a Moderator behaving like that or a member in good-standing calling Seagal a "jerk"--far less mild than "IDIOT" to someome's face--and giving very specific reasons for that opinion??

Now kindly refer to PAGE TWO OF "MOVIES" SECTION. See the 3rd thread--it''s by Andre ("2.8 Million on first Day!--HPD")

Again Andre INNOCENTLY attempts to express his opinion. Then on the 5th post, Casey SNIDELY replies--"Andre, you can leave anytime!....Nothing's holding you back!"

Now scroll 2 postings down, and Storm attempts to intervene Andre's behalf--Casey, stop picking on that guy...."he only stated facts."

Now to Casey's response--to paraphrase...He's a BASHER and I'll do the same to "ANYONE ON THIS BOARD [WHO SAYS NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT SEAGAL]."

IS THE REAL ISSUE HERE ABOUT HARMLESS 'NAMECALLING" DIRECTED AGAINST SEAGAL, OR BLATANT DISRESPECT BY A MODERATOR TO ANOTHER MEMBER???

It's a shame that this topic is still dragging along...I just recently was appointed an adminstration member of this forum(thanks again Craig) & I am very tempted just to close this topic & let people get on with their lives. It's almost a new year & people might notice that this forum has been quiet lately-probably due to all this senseless hanging onto an gripe.

Sounds like a debate forum to me ... minus the trophy! lol, c'mon all, this isn't the place to debate "freedom of speech" versus "mother-hen" tactics; which it what I personally feel (!) it boils down to. Let's not take everything so dang seriously. Amos, I wouldn't blink if you do close this thread ...
Meanwhile, ya'll have a Happy New Year ...
LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!
