This is what’s ridiculous about the modding. Obscenities directed AT ME get no note or warning, but a few paragraphs by Thurber posted BY ME do get a note. However, once the note was given and it was declared inappropriate for the thread, continued discussion of it by **Miller** and other posters was NOT a violation of mod instructions. Why not?

Obviously, it was a tacit acknowledgement by the mods that that fable was not offensive or inflammatory in the thread. So why the note? Oh, that’s right, I have a “history.”

But what are ya gonna do? All posters are equal, some are just more equal than others.
