OK, the problem I see is that the COC is far too vague, that's number one. I also hope that we have moderators with no agenda of their own, not sure about that, not accusing anyone, just not 100% on this.

I also think...and hold on to your hats for this one, that at times our best intentions turn into our own worst enemy, point being, we say we promote unity, integrity and fellowship, do we? On the surface we do, but when you peel several layers away and look, I feel we are doing the exact opposite.

Why? Because we censor, moderate, police, edit, delete, move and bury posts. By doing this no one really nows how anyone truly feels on anything, we have to go on hearsay or form our own opinions based on what the MFCA wants us to read, but we should be forming our own opinions based on what was deleted, edited, censored, moved, etc...The feeling of not knowing and not being able to read what the others truly think and feel about not only each other, but rules sets, tourney's techniques, equipment, leagues, etc.. creates an underground divide by causing people who are close to each other, be it geographically or by other means of communication to further form cliques and to speculate about this, that and the other, in turn, looking good on the surface, but breaking apart underneath.

This may offend and shock some of you, some of you may agree, some of you may think I am just the loud mouth I usually am and not give a rat's arse about what I have to say, but Wolf knows how I feel about this, we have talked several times about moderating, and censoring posts.

I don't want to live in a world where it's one big group hug, that's boring and promotes complacency in my opinion. There are and have been great things come about from groups of guys being able to argue and have heated debates to get their point across. Ever been on a jury, I have, several, that's a good example. No way 12 people all agree on the same thing at the start and at times even the end, but through hashing it out, as ugly as it can get at times, people learn, they change, new ideas sprout and oft times a common ground can be reached. Then there are times when we have to agree to disagree, but at least everyone knows where everyone stands.

I love Wolf and I love the MFCA, but if I had one complaint, it is the nonsense of censorship that is a big negative for me.

I digressed a little maybe, but this is a topic I have been sore on for a while.

I joke around a cause trouble myself a lot on here, but I always love and repect everyone until they give me a reason not to. Let people be and let people talk.
