I guess if I eat in front of BradPaul at one point in his life, while he talks about stuff he wants me to change for him,
then BP & I would be ''lunch buddies''
... in florida at least
once DVP Rice, being the kind of guy that goes the extra distance,
performed a AMA DVP duty for me... even while he was eating lunch
I never said we were LunchBuddies, and as far as I know DVP Rice never said we were Lunch Buddies,
seems only BP (and possibly the State of florida) have made that from the hip guess and speak for DVP Rice.
I would try pasting in rcu-member quotes from other boards in some kind of Gatcha stunt,
but it was my understanding we dont paste in gotacha rcu-member quotes from other boards .
Don't know how it works out there in Texas, but here in Florida we usually go to lunch with our friends.

In post #24 you said that there was some sort of "conspiracy" keeping you from being a "Leader Member" and running for office:
Oddly, a few Leader members on the web boards have suggested I run for an AMA seat,
but yet when I ask those same Leaders to endorse me to Leader so I CAN run,
well, they suddenly become part of the system preventing me from running for a seat they said I should run for: they wont endorse my LM app
You no Leadee, you no electee
but yet when I ask those same Leaders to endorse me to Leader so I CAN run,
well, they suddenly become part of the system preventing me from running for a seat they said I should run for: they wont endorse my LM app
You no Leadee, you no electee
So I guess the problem is either:
1.) Cant find three open members to sign the application.
2.) You buddy Jim Rice won't sign it as DVP.
3.) Need to raise the $10.00 application fee.
or
4.) There is no problen you just want everybody to believe in the "conspiracy theory".

From the LM application:
In either case the DVP or an AVP must approve the application. (Bold added to quote) I see no reference to ''lunch buddies'' or a requirement for your references to be buddies with the DVP or AVP.
For those that would like to review the actual application, here's the link: http://www.modelaircraft.org/files/907.pdf

From the LM application:
REFERENCES
These three (3) references must be properly filled in and signed by three (3) current AMA Leader Members. (If Leader Members are unavailable, three (3) Open Members and an endorsement by a District Vice President or Associate Vice President may be
substituted.)

May I respectfully suggest you review that which you presented? You misread the requirements.

INJECTION: Notice the above requirement DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY DVP INPUT if 3 LEADER MEMBERS sign the application.
Now here below is an exception when three (3) Leader members are not available. The below requirement is in parenthesis and brings in the AVP or DVP only when regular Open members are signing.

At least you are honest about what you are doing. I am glad to see that sort of honesty.
In general in life, when one makes claims, they are just the opinion of one person, and can not be taken as real or factual without that person backing up their claims. Which is what we see on this sub forum on RCU quite often.
As someone mentioned previously in the thread, a lot of 'code' talk and nothing direct or backed up here. Not surprising when there really is nothing to back up their claims.

I have presented what the rules are, if you have issue with them, then state which ones and why. If you think someone has moderated above and beyond them, give the proof of such. Because no matter who is in the position of moderator, the rules must be enforced, or they will not be a moderator, doesn't matter if it's me or Horrace, either you do the job asked of you, or you do not have that 'job'. So lets focus on what in those rules is so bad or horrible that people just can't stand them.
AV8R - I was frustrated with the one moderator at the time, who let personal attacks sit. So I defended myself, as I felt needed, against unwarranted personal attacks. It was at a point in time where there was a lot of out of control stuff going on, and I think I got swept up in it. Either way, I talked to Dave and he gave me a shot, as I have said before, everything we do is an open record that can be viewed by him and others above us. If we abused the position, we would no longer hold the position.
Now in a post above you said:
"Now those that feel the need may be free to continue on with their slander, I have said what needed to be said and am out of here."

You write of a "code" and "proof" and I'd like to point out that when I've seen threads disappear here, out of respect for both the person doing the attacking and the person receiving the attack I'd never talk post or write about it after the fact - because doing so inflames the original problem that in fairness needed to be removed.
Bottom line, public forums with potential emotional volatility probably benefit from policies limiting moderator participation. Perhaps the AMA forum should consider this type of policy.

RE: Banned Again 1st and now last.
Consider that just today on the AMA forum:
phlpdfrnk called some a brown nose
and
bradpaul called someone a weasel
(neither in a kind or kidding way)
Seems the statements about the rules being upheld unilaterally by mods there are far from the truth.

Just to set the record straight;
It was Brad who used the brown nose term and the weasel was a well known poster. In the context of the thread if the post was offensive to you just log on and report it.

No, DBCisco was a well known poster,
a well know poster that you guys chose a derogatory animal name to refer to him.
(and its not the well established proper type of animal in his avatar pic)
Shall I start referring to MrP as an animal of my choosing, and MrP will have no problems with that because MrP is well know too?

RE: Banned Again 1st and now last.
Did BP call someone a 'brown nose', or did he say " brown nos* " ?
Cause as long as this is a thread that brought up Hoss getting the 1st ban,
lets not lose grip on just what got Hoss that fisrt ban: typing too many X's in row was considered Masking something he shouldnt say. So, did BP just Mask his brown nose slur/insult/attack with an asterisk, or was it just some typo that put the asterick there (heh, lord knows I do enough typos to find that a reasonable theory)

Ok guys, time for me to step in. I know there are many of you here that just don't like each other. I get that, and I understand that. But.......... (don't you just hate that word "but"????). Let's stay civil here in these forums. Let's stop the name calling with each other. For members like DBCisco and Kid Epoxy I will allow members to refer to them as an animal type simply because they have chosen to use animals as their avatars here on RCU, but let's not start calling other members by animal names if they haven't started that ball rolling by using an animal in their avatar.
You guys don't have to like each other here in our forums, but you WILL respect each other. I've let this slide a bit as of late as for the most part everybody has behaved themselves in here. But over the last few days I've had to remove posts that are getting out of line with the name calling, taunting, or confrontational posts. So maybe it's time for me to start policing more strictly here. Let's stay civil as we participate in this forum or I'll start putting people in a time out. Sorry to have to be so harsh, but sometimes that's the only way I can get through to some of the members here.

I clearly stated the issues I have with the AMA forum. If the AMA forum was moderated and run as well as this RCU AMA forum why wouldn't I participate over there? Of course I would, it would be a pleasure to participate there.
Unfortunately at this point I don't respect the AMA forum enough to even consider posting there.

RE: Banned Again 1st and now last.
In order to define bad moderation , we as a group would have to define...... good moderation.
What is good moderation of an issue placed in the forums?
A moderator's action's are only as good as his or her judgment.
What if the person's judgement doing the moderating is poor, and lacks objectivity?
Its not like a poster has the power to correct the poor judgement of a moderator.
What if any checks and balances does RCU have to correct the poor judgment of a moderator
and protect the user's viewpoint from being oppressed?
I raise these questions because I see lots of rules for labor, but few for management.
The constitution of our country was created to protect its citizens FROM its government.
What constitution does RCU have to protect its citizens from ITS government?
Although not a country does RCU have an HR dept, seperate from its moderators to make a judgement call?

About that line in your signature where you quote me, 804.
Oh, I stand behind that statement, in the context in which I made it.
But since you provide no such context, and everyone knows you disagree with it,
well, isn't that a slur?
I consider it such.
And, since it appears with every one of your posts,
you could be considered the king of all slur-ers. Slurists. Slurring persons.
Now, I don't care if you continue with the slurring.
But, it seems a bit disingenuous you complaining about slurs and all.

Arbo, if something has been deleted the evidence is gone.

On the other hand, if there was a rule violation (as anyone disrespecting another user would be, be it a user, moderator or admin), and it is gone, then it is
probably safe to say someone properly moderated that post, eh?

answer, which is why I was asking. Generally though, if someone see's something they find so offensive that they leave a site, it usually is something they can remember and
thus tell others about what was said and who said it to whom.
