Just as a note, English isn't my first language. But I for sure understand style and prose. I also FULLY understand that this is an RPOD forum. For the most part what goes on here is about camping in, using, owning, researching, etc etc RPODS. For the good of the forum we don't go down the rabbit holes of religion, politics, etc. IF, Mr. Happy, this offends you, what you do is go start a forum, and moderate it just as you wish. We have at least one member who did that very thing with a facebook group. Good luck, and have fun. .

Motion passed/granted! Well.....at least until somebody decides to post additional to it. I could lock the topic but, then a smart person might open a "new" topic - with the same or similar title. (This happened during our last discussion of the "religious problem") I feel the need to apologize. I know that many are getting about as tired of dealing with this issue as I. I think we may have it to a point (this time) that we can take some decisive measures to eliminate the problem. (there will be ongoing maintenance from time to time, as needed) I will be nice to return to our "regularly scheduled program" of Pods, camping and fun stuff. |

I would like to make a motion that this "Let's be careful " topic end here. Is there a second?

I'm ignoring you. Also, as one of the forum administrators (people who run the forum), I refuse to terminate myself, per your request. |

Happy, have you ever moderated a board on the internet? It ain't easy; just a thankless job that often you feel makes no one happy.
Writing style? If you are referring to David's post immediately above yours, those examples are clearly religious in nature and are what have triggered angry "shouting" matches on this board. There is no issue about the "style" of the prose. It's the subject matter that is he is correctly addressing. And that subject matter is what leads to conflict in which we risk losing a very valuable resource for all rPod owners and wannabe owners. We have people from all walks of life and all political and religious persuasions; from atheist to creationists, from left of socialist to right of alt-right. Moderating this board is like "tratando de organizar micos para una foto" as we say in Colombia. [organizing monkeys for a photograph]. Our moderator's work is nothing short of miraculous and they deserve our support. We can nitpick the moderation and find fault here or there, but we have to stop and ask ourselves whether we could do any better. I really doubt we could. They have kept this board informative, enjoyable to read, and relatively free of conflict. For an internet board, where the subtleties and irony are often lost, where people tend to not realize how blunt or offensive they are in their writing style, Dave, furpod and Trek Tech have exceeded all reasonable expectations of what good moderation is. Let's give them a round of applause and our deepest gratitude for keeping this crazy group together.
