    Shouldn't Luke disable guests from posting because many of them are against the Abbotts. Its just sad and harrassing.

    Well, Vincent has a good point. As the administrator of this web site, not only can I disable anonymous guests from posting . . . I can ban any user from posting. I can delete posts with the touch of a button. I can edit anyone's post, user or guest, to say whatever I want them to say. I can create users and have them say good things about us. In fact, all the posts on this whole web site could be nothing more than Luke Abbott under different screen names! I don't know about you, but hearing that would kinda freak me out.

    So you can probably see why I make a point of not using my moderator privledges unless absolutely necessary. Like Spiderman says, with great power comes great responsibility. :wink:

    I have briefly considered deleting a few posts that were very mean regarding Trading Spouses, but then again, that would be editing reality, and isn't that what our beef with FOX was in the first place? :?

    Very wise, Luke.

    I was thinking better these people vent their angrer on a harmless message board (you know, sticks and stones) than that they kick the dog.

    Luke Abbott:

    "I can edit anyone's post, user or guest, to say whatever I want them to say"

    so that's where the voice inside my head are coming from. :lol:

    it does have a valid point to keep troll's from posting hateful messages.

    [Edit: Had to make a nice "quote" box... :P -Luke]

    well if you had 100000 bad posts to delete, I think you would get frustrated clicking 100000 times. Hmm maybe you are right, phpBB would have a quick delete function right?

    EDIT: did you relise that most people don't post much in the other forums?

    I should and will post more in the other 'deeper' forums-but i've been too busy lately to do much deep thinking-but then even shallow thinking is better than most people's efforts...and communication, not convincing anyone of my philosophy is whats important to me right now...
