Posted from the US House of Representatives. Your government at work.

And your snide comment was juvenile and inappropriate for a board moderator.  [/quote]

I'm not sure how I feel about a moderator who uses his 'powers' to 'out' someone in such a fashion.[/quote]

[b]+1. I agree that the remark was repugnant, but a big part of what makes DCUM what it is (the good and the bad) is that people feel free to post anonymously.  Perhaps in this case, Jeff quasi-outed someone for stating something that most of us would agree is morally reprehensible.  But it could still have the effect of chilling speech, because there's no saying when Jeff will choose to exercise those powers.  And I think part of me is disappointed because I thought Jeff was above that sort of thing.[/quote][/b]

I agree.  I am never going to be comfortable again writing anything that will not show me in a good light. That means that I have to be PC all the time. The anonymity of this forum was the best part of this forum. Yes - there are conflicts and wars - but there are also honest give and take. And I would rather hear the real reasons why someone disagrees with me, rather than be presented with the polite mask that we are presented with everyday IRL.

I also thought that Jeff was above something like that. However, DCUM has brought out the best and the worst in all of us - one time or another - and so I think we can let it go this once.

I appreciate when Jeff cleans up after us (deleting threads and locking threads) - I think as a moderator that is a great work. However, let the anonymity be maintained. Don't call out posters in this way.

I don't think you need to watch what you say. I doubt Jeff checks where most posts come from. Someone saying "good" about a child's murder is pretty egregious, so I think it makes sense he checked up on it, and he had every right to say that it came from such an interesting source. No one has been outed.[/quote]

Would the House feel that way?[/quote]

That depends. Can the House identify the specific individual who posted that just because Jeff outed its origin?[/quote]
