Okay, Fake Moderator, but what did you do with Cary??? if Cary saw that you were acting like a real moderator, he would be mad and maybe ban you for a while. Why do you want your whole family to read this forum? Some people do use words that are not G rated, but high school kids say bad words all the time. But I appreciate the fact that you want to make this a nicer forum. And since I am irish, I did like the little leprechaun pictures. Maybe you could find some bunny pictures for Easter or a cross or something.
Thanks, Trickie

As you and others can guess, Gravis continues playing “games and tricks” altering my posts! That must be a lot of work, but, he seems to find it challenging and he enjoys playing on the computer…night and day!! But, he continues to misunderstand my Moderator motives.
Please have no concern for Cary. He is safe and involved in FU on a daily basis.
Early on, there was a suggestion regarding the need for a Moderator. Since no one offered to help, I stepped up to the plate.
In my opinion, Cary needed some assistance insuring a few adult posters on FU do not inadvertently promote criminal activity involving a juvenile. In other words, if a poster indicates his/her age is under 18, an adult needs to use caution when suggesting/promoting behavior which could cause that child harm and/or cause that child to participate in a criminal act. While I am not an attorney, there may be an amount of liability for the adult as well as Fairfax Underground if it, as an entity, allows certain comments to go un- moderated.
Protecting children is my primary motivation as I proceed in this “Moderator” position. It is not, as Gravis suggested, to make FU a family friendly forum….that’s a humorous suggestion!
As a bonus, I did add a little “Moderating” of the “extreme” anti Semitic or “extreme” racist type posts. I realize this can be subjective and in no way want to thwart free speech. But, if a very casual redirection helps keep a thread moving while maintaining free expression, then it can be a win win for FU.
I have also noticed the occasional poster who does not “feel” heard often becomes a troll and a nuisance for FU. Of course, these trolls can become some posters amusement… much like a cat playing with a half dead mouse… but the risk then becomes the troll develops into a monopolizing presence. This can be avoided.
Thank you for suggesting bringing in the Easter theme. And, here it begins.
