And you know what? It's not just the Mods here who do the policing. We, the members of this clan. have been pretty good at policing ourselves.
It has been stated before and I'll say it again. I don't know how many times I've hit delete, instead of submit, on something I have written. We all have. It is up to each of us to think about what we are saying.
Yes, the Mods do a fantastic job. More times than not we don't even see the really objectionable stuff because they have already caught it, but it is me that controls what I post. My reputation, my image, my persona if you will, is in my hands.
The day a Moderator has to send me a nasty gram due to something I have written is the day I will have to leave. With my tail between my legs and head hung in shame. For this is my home. I don't make messes in my own home.
We have seen people come here before, and hiding behind the anonymity of their keyboards, try to turn this into their own image of the world. And we have seen those same people leave. And then forgotten them.
We all pride ourselves in what we have created here. All are welcome to join us. And all are welcome to leave. It is up to each and every one of us to make that decision. You can choose to write anything, anything at all. And you can choose to take a moment and read over what you have written and ask yourself, "Will this post make X Marks a better place?".
