All that is fine, but it isn't about changing *grex* in any way - it's about
people essentially developing thicker skins or the ilk. And that isn't
something "grex" can do, other than perhaps posting a "warning" during
newuser or other places. So, while people leaving grex because they were
stressed out over the item killing kaper may be unfortunate, unless grex is
to become a private members-only club where no mean / nasty people would ever
show up, those as bailed, well "sorry to see you go, but..."

I think that a warning about this being the internet, etc. might be
appropriate. Seriously.

*I* can develop a thicker skin. What about the jerks who are also driving
away new users, by entering abusive responses in party or Agora item 1?

i highly doubt new users are helpless, defenseless little bunnies that need
someone charging in on a white horse and chainmail to protect them.

That is not the point. If I were a potential user of grex, and the first and
probably only thing I saw here was name-calling, I would go away.

Re 93: Easy enough. I'm not calling you one of the
jerks-who-are-trying-to-drive-people-away. I'm referring more to polytarp.
Although I'll certainly give you an honorary "jerk" for your pointless demand
for essentially uncollectable data. ;)

I don't see any way that grex can remain "grex" and at the same time preclude
jerky users.

So we do personal favors for favored persons. How do I get on the a-list?
Enquiring minds want to know.

Founding a Grex and writing a great deal of its software, spending at least
5 years on the board and over 10 years on staff... yeah, good thing we got
rid of that worthless valerie person.

Re #91: You have the same four choices about them, Scott. With the
additional note that you *could* restrict certain items or
conferences to "approved" users or "approved" posts while still
leaving the rest of the system open -- but those restricted areas
wouldn't really be very Grex-like. I suspect a lot of people
you value wouldn't be comfortable in moderated or restricted
places.

(I think you missed his point, Joe; or maybe he didn't express it very weil:
how to keep new users who who are turned off by the 'jerks'?)

Re #102: Nobody got rid of her. She got rid of herself. Everyone else
who was parodied is still here and actively participating.

As far as I can remember, Sindi, Rane, Bruce, Twila, Jaklumen, Mynxcat, and
a few other people occasionally, including me and most of the parodists. Also
Jan, now.
