Poster2: Yeah doughnut boy! How do you reply to that?
LEO229: Hey guys, I'm on your side. Here, let me calmly provide answers to your off-topic and offensive generalizations about everyone in my profession...
Poster1: You're a stupid cop! Because all cops are stupid! Get a real job!
Poster2: Yeah, whatever you say doesn't matter. You like beating little kids who touch your police car.
LEO229: Guys, this is getting off-topic. But I'll indulge your cop-bashing and answer it...
Poster1: Look! He's losing! That's why he's saying it's off-topic!
Poster2: Nazi! Nazi! Nazi! Nazi! Sieg heil, 229!

I like it. And it is not all that far off.

Unfortunately, there are people who live in areas where a significant percentage of the local constabulary are not nice guys. People who live in those areas and experience it first hand tend to think it is that way everywhere becasue that is pretty much all they know.

I saw the crap you wrote, and it needed to be deleted... put your banana away...

A board with no mods other than the owners? Especially a board of this size? It's not the biggest, but that's a lot of work. Good luck!

Can we stop this, it will just degrade into what the other thread was doing.

Examples can be given on both sides, where is should have been edited and deleted and where it shouldn't have be edited and deleted.

This back and forth is pointless, and will only serve to get other going again.

Ending this is an example of the good self-moderation.

The only problem I see for the last several days is YOU and ToJaS kicking this subject back to life with one reply after another. :D

(Exodus 18:17-23) So Moses' father-in-law said to him, "The thing that you do is not good. "Both you and these people who are with you will surely wear yourselves out. For this thing is too much for you; you are not able to perform it by yourself. "Listen now to my voice; I will give you counsel, and God will be with you: Stand before God for the people, so that you may bring the difficulties to God. "And you shall teach them the statutes and the laws, and show them the way in which they must walk and the work they must do. "Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens. "And let them judge the people at all times. Then it will be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they themselves shall judge. So it will be easier for you, for they will bear the burden with you. "If you do this thing, and God so commands you, then you will be able to endure, and all this people will also go to their place in peace." (NKJV)

Good advice even today.....the Word is timeless and relevant even here! How to do this is up to you.

(Proverbs 15:22) Without counsel, plans go awry, But in the multitude of counselors they are established. (NKJV)
