I banned MordEth
I will now file a complaint with his ISP for copyright infringement.
He has never been victimized by the socialist VOPO because of his ancestry. I have.
I also intend to file a copyright infringement complaint against his violation of reposting copyrighted material.
That, and a libel suit against him.
Mordeth is what a socialist and nazi is all about.
I never knew 'MordEth' was such an anti-semite.
And I'm not even Jewish.
He must really hate Jews given his recent internet activities and such.
Maybe I should forward his nastiness to the JDL and the Anti Defamation League, along with his IP address and email address.
I will not tolerate this crap from anyone.
Perhaps
I should post the URL of the website he put up with the intent of
trashing this board and showing contempt for it's members?

Sounds like somebody has too much time on their hands... Either MordEth needs a hobby or a job.
Maybe you ARE the hobby, Dan. You've got an admirer, you hairy beast you!

One of the wonderful things about old phonographs and radios is that
they help remind me of a time when positive things weren't
automatically defiled by deviants like this banned idiot.
(I received the notification email and came to see what was going on; I confess).
I
haven't been here in a while: MANY projects. I'm wrapping up my Son's
Christmas present, a Philco 48-482. Just waiting for the speaker to get
back from Bill LeGall.
He's working on his second year at Emory&Henry College while I'm selling off everything I own to pay for it. : - ).
It's
a truly SUPERB feeling. 19 years old, excellent scholar, wonderful
Musician, sober and LOVES my old stuff. Only listens to Classical Music
for the most part, a little "Pop" stuff. Loves old Radio shows from the
Jack Benny era and back. We're record collecting/ hoarding buddies.
He'll really like this old Philco.
Miracle of it is, I raised this boy in Kalifornia on a mechanic's paycheck. He had/has a Mother in the house and a Sister (17).
Anyway......I could just ramble on and on........
Regards,
Craig

Ye Gods, Dan, close the thread before this jerk gets any more
attention. I admit, I looked to see what this was all about, and I'm
sorry I did. A low point to my day, lowering my opinion of the human
race. Some people have way too much time to pursue their hobby of
attacking others, indeed. It was completely unnecessary for this person
to post an attack about something so trivial, and on this board, no
less. If someone feels the need to flame someone else, there are more
appropriate venues.
Most
of this garbage purportedly written by Dan isn't even related to or
from this board, anyway. As long as Dan isn't molesting children,
animals, or phonographs, who cares? 
The board IS very useful, appreciated, and used for its intended
purpose, not as a front to spew anyone's personal views upon the
masses. The end.

Well, I'm pretty conservative (not
Republican! Boy, did those guys go off the track?) and Dan sometimes is
even too over the top for me. Hey, I did vote for a democrat for my
house rep seat so I'm not all bad.
But
I tired of the rants back and forth and stopped reading them when they
turned into short stories for Lifetime TV. Usually if I want to cut
down somebody I can do it in 10 words or less and sometimes a simply
"Yo mama." will do.

Well put, PGHCoyote.
This board
brings us together from all points of the planet - an absolutely
amazing accomplishment technologically and personally. Its a shame that
many of us (myself included) introduce the two most divisive topics
known to man: religion and politics. If somehow we could all choose our
topics and our responses to those topics more carefully to avoid
unnecessary conflicts and tension, this board will hopefully survive
and even thrive. It is already the most successful and populated
phono-message board around. Lets try to keep it that way. Maybe we
could even coax a few of those that have drifted away over the years to
return.

I
think the only way to do that would be to get rid of the "Off Topic"
sub-board altogether and keep politics out of here completely.

Shane,
I can no longer remain silent. I like you and I consider you to be a
valuable member of this forum. Based on some previous threads
(including the one above), I have come to the conclusion that you are
no longer happy with your membership here. Although I would hate to see
you leave, please feel free to do so if you simply can no longer
tolerate the way Dan runs things around here and you continue to be
offended by his posts. This hobby is supposed to be fun, so what's the
point?
With regard to Dan, he is probably one of the best
message board administrators on the net. He devotes a lot of time and
effort in keeping things going and dealing with individuals who want to
destroy and disrupt things for whatever reason. If someone gets banned,
I can assure you it is for a good reason.
Although his
commentary tends to be more slanted to the right than some of you like,
Dan is not a nazi, facist, or racist. He's a regular guy who collects
phonographs and records and wants to give us all an opportunity to get
together to discuss the same. He doen't have to go through all this
work and trouble, but he does. Please respect that.
Lighten up everone! Don't take things too seriously and enjoy yourselves!!!!!

Well no, I'm not real happy here at the moment, but it's not about how
Dan runs things around here. It's about frequent racist comments about
wood stains, ex-members & his cry baby attitude when someone reacts
to somethink & Dan doesn't like it. Yet Dan can say whatever the
hell he wants, and everyone is expected to keep silent if they disagree.
This
hobby is supposed to be fun, but the funs taken away when you read a
thread about staining a phonograph & out of the blue some remark is
made BY DAN about negros or a coloured guy who he banned, getting upset
about it. The guy didn't get upset by the name of the stain, only by
Dan's attempt at comedy pointing out the negro part of the word.
There's
a radio forum I look at, and it's just as busy as here, but not once
have I ever seen any racist or political comments in any thread, and
certainly never by an administrator.
If any such post was ever made, it was removed straight away, and would NEVER be encouraged or instigated by an administrator.
Frankly,
I don't care whats posted in thread hell- if you don't like the subject
matter you simply don't go there, but it's a different thing to come
across this sort of crap in phono threads. They're supposed to be about
the hobby, not african-americans, indians & chinese.
I mean it's
one thing to joke about crapophones, but it's no longer a joke if I
start talking about beedy eyed little indians in sweat shops making
them.
If I started making a wise crack every now & then about
Masons, I'm sure it would eventually get on your nerves Phil, and
probably eventually you would avoid this board because that stupid
Shane guy keeps making ridiculous comments about freemasons .

I fully agree with Orthomaniac. This forum is meant to discuss vintage
music and vintage recording and/or playback equipment, not politics.
All too often those discussions end in fights and different forum
members start calling eachother bigots, Marxists, and so on. So I also
think the best solution is to close the off-topic section. If someone
feels the need to talk politics, they should go to the politics message
board.

I agree, we should keep the crap off
the sections where it doesn't belong. However I don't mind if the off
topic section is kept for those who want to vent. I can easily avoid it
if I want to.

It's beginning to sound like the board when I tried posting to it a few years back.
Please just stop.

Gentlemen,
I
am very disappointed that not one of you seem to have any trouble with
Dan insulting and libeling Mordeth by calling him an anti-semite. I
would remind you all that it takes two to have an argument.
Analogman-What
exactly was "defiled"? Dan's political opinion that's all. Pghcoyote
please note that Dan is the one who has affixed this thread to the top
of the board so it's seen by everyone. I agree with you it shouldn't
even exist. Mordeth didn't attack something trivial he tried to discuss
the politics that Dan initially posted. The links to the threads are
not "purportedly" written by Dan-everything there is word for word what
Dan wrote so don't delude yourself into thinking this is made up it
isn't.
Dan, I had wanted to keep this private between us, but I
can not let your public threats and insults to him stand. I have know
Mordeth in the real world for a number of years he is no anti-semite
nor is he a socialist or anything else of that nature.
Dan was
the one who started the political discussion and when Mordeth got the
best of him it got nasty on both sides. I've spoken to both privately.
They both crossed a line.
Mordeth wasn't a "lurker" I would
remind Dan that Mordeth joined this board after I put you two together
so he could assist you in setting up the first chat when you were
stuck. Remember that?
I am really tired of these regular dust
ups. (Note I don't have a problem with engaging in "warm" discussion,
as can be seen by my discussion with Kalash on Stalin &c.) The tone
of this board is set from the top. These flame wars are always allowed
to go to far.
Everyone please note that Mordeth has not posted
nor has he attempted to post anything here. And trust me-he could if he
chose to in spite of anything Dan might claim. He isn't trying to
disrupt anything. I have asked him to refrain from posting here and he
agrees with me that nothing good can come from his posting anything
further here. Strangely someone attempted to sign him up for a google
group dedicated to the Communist Party last night. Odd, isn't it?
Especially in light of Dan's mass mailing. Mordeth has no and never had
any intention of SPAMMING or e-mailing anyone here-trust me.
I
initially said Thread Hell was a bad idea when it was started and I
still feel that way. It has done nothing to quell bad blood here-in
fact I think it's exacerbated the problem.
Dan what's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander-remove your insults to Mordeth if you are serious about this board.

Funny, MordEth can call me a "Nazi" or a "Fascist" and that seems to be
just fine. Well, sunshine, it isn't fine with me. Not when he puts up
an entire website to trash me and this board.
And that's why his account is deleted and why he got banned.

Let me set straight those of you who don't quite get it. Maybe this will clear things up for you.
I
am the Administrator of this board. I own it, pure and simple. As such,
I have the right and authority to exercise any and all editorial powers
I deem necessary. If someone doesn't like The Wall Street Journal they
can go our and buy The New York Times if they don't like the editorial
policies of one or the other.
I put up an off-topic section
because we needed it to move off-topic material to prevent clutter by
cleaning up the thread rather than to immediately delete it.
Now,
see it from my point. I get bitched at for not exercising censorship
and being too lax. Then I get bitched at for exercising some form of
editorial censorship. I remove off topic material at the request of a
number of board members (for good reason) and on a periodic basis and
what do I get called? A Nazi, Fascist, etc.,,,.
Well, folks, you can't have it both ways and MorDeth and bostonmike1 didn't realize that simple little fact of life.
You see, it's damned if I do and damned if I don't. I get abuse for using my admin powers and I get abuse for not using it.
That
means that I have only one choice and that is to exercise my editorial
policy and admin powers without fail and at every opportunity that I or
any of the Global Moderators deem necessary.
There will be no more disorder or conflict.
If
I see something that I think is inappropriate, disruptive, mean
spirited, slanderous, libelous or beyond the limits of good taste and
orderly conduct, I will delete it, edit it or move it without
discussion and without appeal. The Global Moderators are also entitled
to make the same editorial decisions.
We can't have it both
ways. Since we have had a number of 'lurkers' who only post when they
can make a troll of themselves and number of people who are
oversensitive who get offended at the mention of a flea, star or any
imaginable thing that could be taken the wrong way, I'm going to
enforce editorial scrutiny to everything equally.
Let's see how total control over everything works for a while.
Dan
