Christmas Music: How Soon is too Soon?
A local station went to an all-Christmas-music format last Monday. I say that's too early. What's your personal acceptable threshold for listening to Christmas music?

abge, I believe CDG would only help out when you had 5 players. CDI was the more generous of the two helping out when you had 6.

You would think that, but you would be wrong. Civil Disorder Germany played for Italy and Civil Disorder Italy played for Germany. : )

Hey Maniac and spyman thanks for posting your thoughts, very much appreciated and I think we're all glad the forum is open enough to have such discourse.

I'm very interested to see how things develop on the forum and will be monitoring things as closely as I can. As others have said please feel free to contact me with any thoughts you have on how things go at [email protected] , though open, civil discussion is fine too.

If you've got a specific case you want me to look at (e.g. letting me know specifically which mod posted that comment you referenced) could you let me and/or abge know about it in private so we can chase it up?
We'll let you know how it turns out again in private, since although everyone makes mistakes I don't think the forum is the place to discuss specific cases.

Yes, if you ever have a specific concern, please feel free to discuss it in private with me.

Oh, come on guys. I've been a modestly active member of the forum for over four years, now. You could at least answer me, even if it's an obvious question.
We did, you just couldnt read the messages.


..... no but seriously, the reverse silence bit was a joke.

So those were in fact then just blank posts. Thanks.

I had meant to add that in all this time I haven't so much as recieved a single warning from the moderators. Being active for an extended period of time doesn't make you worthy of attention in its own right. <Looks at trolls frolicking in the distance.>

The 2nd Amendment
Everyone has their own opinions on it, but I feel rather strongly that 2nd Amendment rights should be supported, as it is not only necessary for self-defense, but as a measure of self-expression.

This summarizes my view nicely
