I don't blame them one bit as they were doing their job and I know you're known by those you hang with. One of my friends was classified as not so good to them not me so I got what I deserved.

People are not civil in eye to eye conversations about politics so why would I think it could be handled properly from behind an anonymous keyboard. It would need to be Moderated around the clock, who would apply for the graveyard shift?

Call me, I'll show you how to set up nine (9) accounts.

Make that two friends who are true Rebels!

The Moderators do a good job and should remain anonymous IMHO as some people get really passionate about things like dog poop on lawns and other such pressing topics.

On the other frequently discussed topic on various threads, the TOTV Political Forum if ever opened again really needs a team of moderators and done by people rather familiar with the history of various posters and their interactions with other posters.

Each forum had its own moderator. This kept the moderators from being overwhelmed. But all moderators were listed as such so that members could contact them as necessary. They could post under their moderator name or another ID if they liked. Like here, personal attacks were removed as soon as spotted. Unless the OP specifically requested a thread be closed, we let it run whether it went off course or not. I like a lot about the way this site is run but not everything.

I do miss the Political Forum and I hope it comes back one day but only if it is moderated. Got way too ugly.

I also don't like anonymous posters. If you believe in your post you should be ok with having your name attached to it.

We are talking about the Moderators. I agree that the regular posters should not be anonymous in any way or on any place on Talk of the Villages. They should be accountable for their online actions.
