i echo my sister tracy, this incident turned into a clusterfuck over lack of communciation... sounds hopeful, that the communciation lines are now open...maybe, i am just a pollyanna

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

I've gotten a couple of PM's and I read Stinas post above. I would like to clarify what I mean by 'playground'.

Certainly OT, Polls, etc. are areas for socialization. The original intent of the Regional Forums was for social interaction.

When those areas (or any area of an internet community) become havens for adult internet bullies to freely roam - that, to me, is a "playground for the bored".

Every schoolyard has their little 'billy bada$$e$'. We have several. They hide their social retardation, rudeness and flamebaiting personalities behind the excuse of their right to speak freely, or state their almighty opinion.

As I stated above - I'm unsatisfied with the "hammer down" approach taken to yesterdays events BECAUSE of the fact that other behaviors are tolerated. I don't think any of us are truly going to be able to 'see' what happened between Aussie and Admin. It may indeed have just been a miscommunication.

But I know what I did see yesterday, and in the months leading up to it. I see an absentee Admin who decided to censor over a political matter. That - I believe - was and is completely unfair to 'the masses'.

I understand more what you mean now.

Thanks for clarifying. :)

I emailed Aussie yesterday to contact me so we can chat. Yesterday STeve even volunteered to call her in person since he is closer and let her know what was going on since he was in the chatroom and has a good pulse on the situation. I have also posted in this thread my email for her to contact me at if she chooses. So, that said, I would love to work this misunderstanding out with her but we have to talk first. In the history of this nether one of us ever have chatted a single time on this topic which is at the heart of the issue. In any case I am eager to resolve all the related issues once we chat. Her account is open and able to log on as well. I am not sure what else I can do since I do not know her personally and only have her member email. :-\

:yes:

and unfair to someone who has been such a valuable, kind resource to VJ.

And to everyone that thinks AW would come back, don't bet on it. Why, to get censored again or her account closed?

I agree 100% rebecca. The biggest issue here in my mind is why other truly nasty behavior is constantly tolerated and why someone so valuable, helpful and kind to VJ members was censored. If anyone choose to leave VJ I suspect it's not because "they didn't like the action" but rather because they prefer to be part of an immigration forum that provides accurate information without all of the nastiness, rudeness and personal bashing that goes on here. Just my .02.

OMG, when will you guys stop stirring the pot. Leave it to the two people it should concern. If anyone doesn't like VJ anymore fine - leave, go find a place that better fits your needs and taste. People before you have left, come back, left for good.... big deal. There is new members signing up every day. Spots will be filled. It's always been like that. VJ is a dynamic community. It's constantly changing. It's a part of life. I know it's a tough cookie to swallow but you will all get over this eventually.

I would like to say that I am open to more member mods if that helps with reducing out of control posts or threads. Someone said I am absent but that is not true. Overwhelmed at times maybe. In any case, there is already one volunteer mod now and I would add maybe two more? That sounds like a good starting point. Also we should not forget the dozen or so organizer members that really do make a difference to help out. Thank you to everyone for their help :).
