Those parameters are that of propriety and civility as determined by Joey, Bethani and myself. Not by whim or capriciousness...
Your objection, and undoubted exception, are noted and appreciated. Only one person has been "banned" from Derby Trail, and only 2 have received benchings. Many others have been asked to utilize better judgement in their responses to confrontational situations. I believe that the vast majority of Derby Trailers are comfortable with the way in which the moderators are conducting the administration of the Forum, and invite further comment on the topic by community members.

I just wouldn't want this forum to become like the "other" one ... which was ruled over by a coven of shrill harpies ... who tossed out "bans" with the same abandon as medieval popes hurled anathemas ... and for any reason or un-reason which struck their estrogen-driven fancies and fantasies.
That forum ... by the way ... collapsed because of that ...
... and a few of the same harridans are now much more demure members of this one.
And as far as Dixie goes ... I think moderators should have much thicker skins ... and much more forbearance ... than was on display in that little brouhaha.
Onward and upward ...
