Where's the Glasgow teenager thread gone and why?

[Sir Robert]

I have been to some sites that have no moderators. Those sites suck.

I have been to sites with hypermoderation which limits debates to the point that nothing interesting ever gets discussed.

Our problem here is that we have kilts which pull up talk of politics, fashon, sex, history, quality and price issues. Each and every one of those will cause some debate looser to become offended and bellyache to the moderators.

Moderators take action based on complaints. Ya know the sqeaky wheel gets the grease?

So what is the right answer? All or nothing, well neither of those. How about we ask the moderators to simply remove posts containing personal attacks and blatant advertising and be moderate in their moderation.

It's too bad when things get taken personally--the idea of "You're a x generation American, and therefore not Scottish / Irish / insert_nationality_here" really heated things up. Whether or not you believe that [and I say this with all charity], I think thoughts like that should not be expressed here where a common interest brings us all together. Do I consider myself Scottish? Not purely Scottish, but I have a Celtic heritage I am very proud of, and will not hesitate to answer in the affirmative if some one asks if I am Scottish: I am a Scots-Irish American.

At the risk of another thread going south, I ask the following question: Are our black countrymen not African-Americans, British-Africans, etc? As the Papal delegate to the U.S. said in his homily at the National Shrine last night, "All races, all nations, will be blessed . . ." We are men, wherever we hail from, wherever our ancestors come from. Let us remember charity this Holiday season.
