Hold up hold up hold up!!!

I live here in America. Here is America we have this little thing called FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

Okay, now with that in mind we also have freedom in choice.

And with THAT in mind, why is it that this forum is so over moderated with threats of locking threads and deleting posts and everything? I agree I haven't been in the "mix" of things lately but I do have the right to speak my mind and I do choose whether or not to participate in those particular posts. I think that everyone in the questioned threads had a right to speak, whether they agreed or disagreed. I think that when you post a thread, you are opening it up to everyone. I think that when you have a thread, it is no longer "yours" but the becomes a part of the overall dynamic of the group. I do agree that some comments were nasty and uncalled for, but I also believe that everyone has a right to speak. Just because one person gets offended, then DON'T read that post (see freedom of choice above).

I think that nilly willy locking a thread because you have been queened or kinged as a moderator is ridiculous. I think a thread should only be locked if it is blatant advertising crap. Otherwise, let it ride. By not dealing with the problems and comments that doesn't SOLVE the issue, it lets it fester on other threads. Let people talk it out back and forth. Is it bickering? Sure it is, but we are a majority of women in this group, so isn't it a bit expected? Women have to hash it out to be done with it.

I think it is all getting taken too seriously.

Let people speak!!! (see above freedom of speech) Good bad and ugly.

There, I have said my 2 cents. Now feel free to come to THIS thread and say what you will because this is MY thread I have donated to THIS group, which makes it OURS.

ooooooooooooooh

What's the world coming too... Vines is losing weight and you guys are all getting along now...

Looking around for lighting to strike any minute.

Congrats Vines on the 5 pounds... that is awesome to have a great week and you got to have ice cream too.

LOL Cashley! *looking nervously around*

Vines! I'm SO, SO, SO happy for you! What a struggle you've had and are still having. Losing five pounds is just the kind of encouragement you need to keep moving forward. Congratulations.

If this thread gets locked, I will be SERIOUSLY pissed off. This thread was meant for a place for people to vent, harmonize, giggle, scream, yell, and whatnot. Leave it beeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

i think this thread is far from getting locked we are all working hard at proving that we can play well with others. now if we could just get telly to quick running with scissors and Geezer to quit eating glue our report cards home would be spotless.

Is glue fattening or cause PB's?

full of protein, but prolly causes a lot of pb's. you might want to thin it with some fruit juice for flavor and consistency.

This thread is in the Rants and Raves section. So rant and rave all you want Jenna I won't lock it. LOL!!! Shoot I might just join in the ranting and raving.

Rant = Food is de debil

Rave = Food is de debil

There I feel better.

...Im sure the loss is due to stress and worry rather than ice cream. ...!

Actually, with my consistantly high stress levels, if it made me lose weight, I'd be on a board for people who were struggling to gain weight.

So, logically, the ice cream was closer than the stess.

But..but....
