Is this ghetto booty?
You are right . This thread was a bad idea by you. You would not have liked it one bit if our roles had been reversed.
I'm asking for fair treatment , open communication and an appeals process. something the old dannyboy would have and did fight for at work but seems to find a foriegn concept here.
I frequently disagree with Tieguy...and for all I know I am still on his "ignore" list....but like it or not he has a point.
It is the mark of intellectual honesty to force oneself to entertain opposing points of view. Censorship...in virtually any form...can have the effect of depriving one of such an opportunity. Obviously there must still be boundaries of what is and is not appropriate, and on a privately-run website the owner certainly has the final say on what those boundaries should be...but my personal opinion is that any sort of censorship should only be employed as an absolute last resort. My preference will always be to decide for myself what is and is not appropriate for me to read or look at, and the beauty of the Internet is that anybody can excercise that right with nothing more than a mouse-click.
I am curious to know just what it is that is causing Tieguy to be so heavily moderated as he claims to be. And I would agree that some sort of transparent, open appeals process ought to be available to anybody who feels that a moderators decision is unfair. In my 3 years and 3700+ posts on Brown Cafe, I have only had a handful (less than 5 IIRC) of my posts get deleted or edited, and in hindsight it was very clear to me that I did indeed violate TOS and that the actions of the moderator were appropriate.

but have had to endure his rants against anyone who opposes his thinking.?
Girl, I agree up to a point. But at what time can you be proud of the "trunk" that is so big it needs 4 zipcodes?We come in different shapes and we should be proud of our bodies.
Speaking of soaps...well, maybe it's a different one, but Susan Lucci was on Racheal Ray this morn.
Oh, yeah, I'd still, uh, like to, uh, make her, uh, aquaintance...yeah, that's it. Her AQUAINTANCE!!
Yes, she seems like a very.....uhh... nice girl....yeah thats it!!!
You can say it.....Susan Lucci is one HOT chick for an old lady!!! She was on Fox & friends and she was showing Brian Kilmeade how kisses are done on the soap operas. It was funny and Brian was actually blushing.
All I will say is that I am willing to make her acquaintance.
Any day.
What is it about Rachel Ray and men? Is it that she cooks? That throaty laugh of hers? Her accent? That' she is somewhat normal appearing? I don't get it. She's nice and all, but I wouldn't think that's the type of woman men would get hot and bothered about.
And I don't check in with the cafe in a couple of weeks and all hell has apparently let loose.
She has a great personality!
I can't watch her show at all. Rachel is cute, but her voice irritates me.
What show is she on? I've heard her name but I can't picture her.
Her show is "30 Minute Meals" on The Food Network, plus her line of cookware at Kohl's.
Rachel is cute and a good cook.
Girl next door thing.
Susan Lucci puts the steam into the pot.
Even if you do not get it, I do.
Her she is at the stove.
Pretty lady ... never seen her.
Not pretty enough to watch a cook show though.
Funny though, I know who Paula Dean is and what she looks like.
She's on QVC a lot. She has these nifty oval pans with orange handles.
I like her getto booty.
I didn't want to offend anyone, but damn! Sorry, couldn't resist!! LOL!!!

I know what you mean- It's the same effect as George Lopez's voice.
Susan Estrich - her voice annoys me.
Please define.
All off topic and I could have quoted more. 3 moderators. This is why I don't visit this site very often anymore because off the lack of moderation. Whatever this discussion is supposed to be about is completely lost because of all the other dribble.
I suspect it is just a way to subtly harass and dismiss posters and topics.
Get over yourself it's not all about you. I can't speak for others but when I posted this it was because I was doing just what you say. It's a tired ass subject and a big bitch fest from tie.
