Hello From Port Aransas, on Mustang Island, TX

I realize that the POA MC doesn't explain that very well,
but observing a few closed threads makes it pretty clear.
The flow seems to always go like this: *a discussion goes
on for a number of posts, then there are some back-and-forth
insults (real or perceived, deserved or not), someone complains,
the thread is closed, and finally the participants complain
that the thread was closed.

That's all fine and dandy, but at some level the only effective
moderator is one who is consistent and EXPLAINS THEIR ACTIONS.
Random acts of censorship do nothing to breed a community.

If you read Jesse's response to Jim and my inquiries, it was a
terrific example of a non-response, explaining nothing. We still have
no idea why the thread was closed -- hell, if anyone had a right to
cry to the moderator, it was ME -- and his attitude is "if you don't
like it, there's the door".

Disappointing.
