From the Sheriff’s stoop; some further observations

It seems that a few things have been overlooked and left to slide a bit round here, that have gotten a bit lost in the dust up of growth. A number of disturbing trends have been brought to my attention of late, and rather than ridin’ through all like Earp and Holliday shootin’ the place up (not beyond the realm of possibilities, depending on how this jawin’ session goes), we’re gonna try this civilized approach first.

Right out of the gate, I will direct you folks to this page right here. The old hands should be familiar with this page, I say should be, if you aren’t get reacquainted with it. All you new folks should get acquainted with it as well.

It has been noted that the caliber of debate and discussion has fallen off a notch or three, we are seeing an alarming increase in acerbic, hyperbolic, profanity laced, and just flat shack-nasty comments. The name-calling and grade school playground garbage needs to stop, supposedly we are all adults here, let’s start acting like it. All beneath the type of people posters profess to be, this is not the Huffington Post, Mother Jones or Hot Air. To the regulars; get it together folks, to the newcomers aim higher. We have, in the past, cut the old hands a little more slack. Well as of today, no more, you all know what’s expected of you and we expect better.

To all newcomers, so you are aware there are three active moderators on this site, we’re easy to spot if you’re on the site, you’ll see a little blue tag that says “moderator” following our screen name. There are myself (KenInMontana), K-Bob, and AmericanBornInCanada. If a moderator warns you (old hand or newcomer), take it seriously as your posting privileges here depend upon it.

Okay, lets all try to put that “bar” back up where it belongs. You do your best and we’ll do our best to keep this a community we can be proud of. Thanks for your time.
