laying down the law
26 Answers
ED. If you're going to lay down the law I suggest you do lay it down - in writing. With your recent actions you have been enforcing rules that aren't even there. "Do as I say, or else..." is not a site rule. (Yet.) TCL didn't break any site rules.
I've asked and answered a great number of questions to the point where I now think of My Profile as a cyber shelf of reference literature I've built up for myself over the years. The way you're presently running this site I feel I may or may not be in danger of losing it just for writing this.
I'm certainly aware that the Terms of Use grant you the right to "[...)delete any posting we feel does not conform to the intended spirit of The AnswerBank service." Only problem is, the spirit of a site should not be dependent on which side of the bed its editor got up on that particular morning. That is terror, by one of its definitions. We need to know what the rules are and then we'll each make our own decisions on whether or not to abide by them.
Two threads to which I had contributed were pulled yesterday. The way things are I have absolutely no idea whether or not it had anything, everything or nothing to do with my postings on them. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't. Maybe everything I've built up will soon be lost at one fell swoop for writing this. Yes yours is the right to set the site rules, but you do need to find a way where your actions and the site rules are perceived as accordant.
The issues brought forward in this post are of general interest and they constitute a suggestion. So far there are no site rules against posting suggestions of general interest in Suggestions, which I why I trust it will not be zapped. Unless of course someone devotes half a second to posting a four-letter word as a response, in which case you, ED, will be perfectly justified in removing everything I've just written - wontcha.

3,340 posts by theCorbyloon turn up when you search the site via google, if 95% were attacks on the editorial staff, how many posts has the ed to seek out tomorrow to copy and paste in reply? That will keep him busy,
let me see if i can do the sum,
10% is 334 times 9.5, that is 3173 posts approximately that the ed says were compaints about ab and the ed, and TCL is asking for the 95% of posts claimed to be identified, like i said, not much chance the ed will get his head up this week.

Dear fellow ABers, should I be removed would you please make a YouTube video like the legendary one that Chris Crocker did for Britney Spears, only, you say "Leave swedeheart alone!" instead of "Britney", and then we make a dance remix of it...? like this...? Please? Please?
(I jest, but make no mistake, my original suggestion is genuine.)

If I get removed, which is quite likely, (being me and not giving a rats arse what folk tell me I shouldn't do, ) please can i have a thread (in any category) dedicated to Garth Brooks with lots of You Tube links and plenty of positive comments about how i may have been bolshi but you could never say i didn;t overreact.
