I am torn. I believe in not being censored. I believe in the rights of everyone
getting to speak their opinion.  Less than Pug feeling the need to stop the
mudslinging, is the mere fact that he had to jump in and try to stop it.  If he
is responsible for this list, and possibly its content, then he has every right
to censor it.  I have not seen Pug oppress our ideas for growth, no matter how
wierd, annoying, or aweful they may sound. What I see Pug doing, is trying to
stop some people's reputations from being dragged through the mud when they are
not here to defend themselves...and this, IMO, is not the forum for that
anyway.  In which case, he has every right to moderate such activity.

I have never seen Pug moderate the list for anything other than trying to stop
someone from blatantly trying to hurt someone else..and come on folks, is that
what you want to see and why we are here?

Everyone is tired, its friday and we all want to get out of here and commence to
partying. Lets drop the negativity and focus on something more
positive..like..getting to fight this weekend, or mounds of chocolate, or or
or....
