Yus, It's not only what you listed that needs to be reviewed, but this entire Cyber Nanny concept should be re-visited. The membership here is almost totally adult. People can sieve through the postings and pick out the chaff from the substantive. If someone's posting turns off others, they'll know what to do. There's a great tool on the computer keyboard called the "delete" button! Some of us use it routinely to empty our In-boxes daily, which is why I never understand this constant bitching about what X or Y is posting here. If you don't like what you see, delete the darn thing! This whole idea of monitoring someone's postings before letting them in is ridiculous. And very patronizing. Let the membership be the judge of whether what Kujabi or someone else writes is appropriate or not. I don't need anyone to tell me what to do when I don't want to read nutty stuff: I'll do exactly what I do when Matarr Njie sends my mother "greetings!" I find it ironic that while we're supposed to be engaged in encouraging free thinking, and stuff, the Managers have taken it upon themselves to play Big Brother. It's an egregious abuse of privilege as far as I'm concern. Totally un-necessary and out of place. Debates get heated, and tempers flare. Most people make up at their own volition and move on. They don't need any Manager to tell them what to do. Any Manager who likes to Baby Sit adults need to go work for Yaya Jammeh. I'm sure he'll find a suitable job for you where your oversight would be appreciated. It's most certainly NOT appreciated from this corner. Talk about aristocracy...
