Sageman's Blog

I here what you are saying and I somewhat agree.
I ask you this. Aren't the blogs here created to welcome open discussion?
If you post a subject on a controversial subject, you can probably expect some controversial remarks. Are all of them necessary? Probably not, but taking them ALL in context gives the author and reader a TRUE feeling on the subject.
If worse comes to worse, use your DELETE option.
I wont use it unless I find double posts or outright personal attacks.
I hope you continue to post here Sageman.

I can't make comments about President Dumbo anymore?

Sorry RCN I usually get side tracked by my super short attention span by the time I get through the comments on your blogs..

I agree what rottweiller said. We'll all have different opinions and different ways of getting a point across. Theres some that seems on purpose, then there is those done just through conversation.

It is a free country and you can say what you wanna say EXCEPT on fos 35's blog page where you cannot write what you want to write.

Sage, I couldn't agree with you more! I have lost so many excellent Blog Topics that took some time to prepare only to have a two to three of the same users come in and dump a bunch of garbage into it, as that was their intention to begin with, then disrespect me as I chose to delete instigating comments and comments relating to someone's personal business that was false. Then because I chose to delete the garbage not even relevant to the topic, I had someone continuously copy and paste my whole Blog topic to their page for the sole purpose to carry on the harassment. Open discussion and one disagreeing with another is one thing, but pure out right disrespect and instigating comments are another. And even for some, if their comment gets deleted because of disrespect, instead of them moving on, it will more than likely happen all over again. I for one am finally glad Fox has stepped in. It feels good to be able to comment or write a Topic without having to worry about what attack is coming next, and not having to constantly be on the defensive side. Thanks Sage, great topic to share.

OK YBSRobin... If someone has a different opinion than yours based in facts omitted on a topic, and they site those facts.. is that an attack?

If said facts are then deleted, and people reading are getting the wrong perspective, so it is taken elsewhere to protect it from editing is that harrassment?

Abunai, can't you behave for just once? Did I add your name to my comment? You must be feeling real guilty by answering to something that was not directed to your personal name, and Fox apparently saw right through you and your so called attempt at being "The Purveyor of Truth," and deleted the 3 Blog Topics you stole from me that had nothing but harassing comments in them, and also deleted 4 or 5 others that you felt necessary to hi-jack as well by dumping inappropriate comments into. It just goes to show that you will never be able to admit for once you "MAY" have been wrong in doing something. So it's "continued" comments like yours that will keep the Fox Moderators continuing to keep things in order. You just now have proven the point of what everyone is so aggravated over. You are not the Blog Moderator, you are not the "Instructor" to tell people when, where, what, or how to Blog. You are human just like everyone else, so get over yourself already! And since I know you have to always have the last word, you go right ahead, it will only continue to show your true colors to everyone, including the Fox Moderators! And if people want or choose to use the Delete Button, guess what,it's a Free World and we can whether you like it or not!

And Twizlled, darn didn't see your comment before I commented and submitted mine for approval, I just wanted to say, well stated and I completely agree. This delay thing does make it hard because we are commenting without being able to see those pending. But we'll work through it.

correction on the last line, "just have a hard "time in" accepting it. NOBSHERE, more than likely people do care because these are public Topics and children do come on this site, even though we don't always agree, we should all do the "right" thing and remain adults and/or civil about it and be careful how we say things. This is after all a Blog Site for all ages. Otherwise some just need to take it to an adult site if disrespect can't be left at the Blog Border Line.

YBSRobin... in your own words.. "You are not the Blog Moderator, you are not the "Instructor" to tell people when, where, what, or how to Blog."

I'd suggest you actually take onboard some of your own advice... as to deletions that I have not seen, I refer to the comments of mine that you had deleted that you decided did not have anything to do with the topic at hand. In fact they did, but they debunked your theory, and upon that threat, you protected your opinion by editing out facts. That was my objection. Others here have stated their objection to your editing, and refered to many examples of it. You are simply attacking the messenger here. It is not I with "sour grapes."

These blogs with this screening seem to be working fine for now. My comments apparently are acceptable, and truthful.
NOBESHERE.. While nobody knows anyone personally, the issue for me is neither do I know any of the others that vote in this country, but they base their decission in that voting booth from various forums of information. When bad or incomplete facts are offered and turned into garbage, then it reflects in those opinions. What we have are people trying to pollute the blog or cloud the truth that are upset when called on it.

To monitor comments is one thing but why mess with posts and your editing of those posts? It is still up to FOX on if they are posted to the community page?

I guess we aren't allowed to change our avatar either!

YBS please for everyone here state where you felt the need to "defend" yourself on Yellowdogs blog on the Tampa site. You dragged your side of things over there and yet not a single thing had even been said to you on that blog. When called out on it you even ask that your comments be deleted. Not only did you attempt to "stir the pot" over there but you also tried to drag in another NON FOX affiliated blog site into it saying how vile and nasty it was and that it should be shut down. I have a suggestion, start your own blog site and then you can be the administer/moderator and can then control whatever is put on YOUR site. I just think it will be a lonely place.

Rideintodarkness... THANKYOU! I made that suggestion weeks ago! If you want to screen/edit blogs at your own leisure, then go to blogspot and make your own blog. We have some folks from very radical positions that try to use the MYFOX areana to spread their word, and have been caught trying to edit out factual information that goes agaist their views. When called on it, its an attack, or harrassment. YBSRobin, here is yet another example from a different source and location as to your own practices that you continue to deny. It is obvious now that all who read here and the MYFOX folks have seen it, and understand the context of the FULL story. It is you and one or two others that are the exception NOT everyone else in this matter. I have a feeling others will step forward and break their silence and offer more examples of just who is destroying the temper of this site.

People only hi-jack what you allow them too, there is a delete button option which isn't used! If you delete the offender then they will stop bothering to even comment! But if you don't and jump right in on their hi-jack then you are just as guilty and you get what you asked for! Because of the lack of own post monitoring, we are now all being treated like the children who acted! It only goes as far as you let it! Thanks!

But FOX, monitoring comments is one thing but messing with posts has nothing to do with it so why take it further then it really needs to go?
