And this should stand.

God friendly, kid friendly, or mod friendly?

What do you think about the following post about my life?

I was discussing my past life with another Setizen, was not bashing anybody in particular.

And yet my post is stricken.


And for God's sake........if you READ the post....
It was about why I DON'T 'read' DO NOT carry a gun anymore.
I get s##t about that too????


If my fellow partisans thing I am out of line, I will back down, but, given past events, this should stand up for conversation in the PF.
Was my post out of reasonable limits?

I want outside input here.


The text of the post was.......and I did not modify nor clip a word........this is the entire post.


Some think me amusing as I post my thoughts.
Tell stories 'bougth whiskey, guns, cars, women
and some similar things you ought not.

Some folks post and then tell you that it is not true.
But I am here not to tell you that it happened to me, not to you.

Yes, I carried a knife, and a switchblade and gun.
Me boot was well fortified, second to none.
I never had cause for to show such a show.
But that,s the reason for carrying...don't you just know.

I was the baddest of bad, way worst than most.
Way many years before I posted Me Seti first post.
I'd was into a bar.....and before I said 'boo'
many folks left the scene.
But I was much meaner than you.

Not much bigger, 'bout 5' 9" and some.
But most folks knew I drank whiskey and I had a fast gun.
A volotile mix, so they choose to stand clear
Of the dude who had guns, and whiskey, and beer.

He pulled a small pistol in the alley that night.
Was not a big gun, not a small one,
But it gave me a freight.
So I went to my boot, where I had kept my good fight.

But his shot whistled clear, even before I could pull it.
That shot whistled past..........it was quite a fast bullet.
and ya know, 'fore I could pull it,

I tell you this not to befall you with pride,
but it's clear that those days I had God on my side.
For to pull out a pistol from inside a boot
It just took a moment, and history was wrote.
That man bought me drinks ever after.
And you don't wanna be, kids one one my awful kind.
He was so thnkfull, the nigh, my life he had not toke.




would be a true pitolas' best dream and a hoot.

I'd most likely be lying in the gutter with that gun
than to be standing here telling you that I was the one
who pulled fast as lightning and made the first stun
And that's why I no longer carry a gun.
That night in the alley when my hair it was creased,\
That's the day when my carrying ceased.




Left over verse........LOL.

EDIT......
What I am trying to say to the kiss less that 10.
Is 'your homeys will us you and spit you out once again
You have to go out and fiend your true bo'x.

They are not those on the street hawking ab bunc of drunk whores,
Ther are not those that offer to issue a cruise.
It is only your parant's advice you can use.
They have been ther, they have done that, and 'tho it's not pretty/////

They have advice left to offer that sometimes ain't grundly.






Now, was that anything the little Johnney did not hear on the daily news tonight?
Sitting in front of the tele?

And I think few Johnie boys are monitoring my posts on a daily basis.

Who is harming who here?

If me peers or Fred think that this post is out of line, some different standards are gonna have to apply here..........

And NOT just to ME.

I am just asking for a peer review.......I think that is appropriate.

Quoting from the left side of any reply to a post you make:

Do not posts comments related to specific moderator actions. The moderators may be contacted at seti_moderators@ssl.berkeley.edu

In no way is this meant as a personal slam---but.....Everyone is well aware of the issues you have with the moderators--why drag other people into it? Reason being is that what we say is going to have no (as in 0) impact on their decisions.

You should email your concerns to them....if they don't respond (as you've stated in the past)-then go to Fred. If Fred doesn't reply then I suspect you are out of luck as the buck stops w/ Fred (and that was confirmed to me by Eric some time ago).

I have unhidden this thread if only to remind everyone that it is OK to discuss moderation, but this is not the place to discuss your specific issues with the Mods. If you have a problem with a hide, please email the moderators at seti_moderators @ ssl dot berkeley dot edu, or myself at setiforums at ssl dot berkeley dot edu if you have an issue with the Moderators themselves.

We do our best to make a fun, encouraging environment where people are free to discuss nearly any topic, but please keep in mind that the boards are governed by SETI@Home's Project Admins and the rules they've laid out as shown to the left of every new post. If you have an issue or question about any of the rules, feel free to email the above addresses for clarification or further discussion. Do note that we cannot and will not discussion actions about other SETIzens with third parties.

Thank you.
