Remember one thing, the guidelines state that the "Interpretation of the [rules and guidelines] is the responsibility of the coordinator(s)."
Now to address your points:
We don't run Lolo's board.
You assume incorrectly it was the same guy under different names. It is a general consensus of opinion that is being voiced independantly from different corners of the world. You may receive a lot of mail in support of your posts, and I am sincerely happy for you. On the other hand, we at eFamily.org tend to get a lot of mail complaining about your posts.
Yes we did apply the guidelines to the others as well, we didn't let them slide by, and the issue was addressed. See post entitled "Now now!". I'm sorry you feel unfairly treated and that the guidelines are not evenly enforced. In our opinion we have been fair (that you are even posting on Journey's at all is pretty darn fair IMO), and it is also the opinion of the coordinators that there is absolutely nothing normal about some of your posts, contrary to what you say. And some of the ones that are sort of normal, we have a hard time understanding.
For the record, it is an exaggeration that anyone said you have "no place here for nothing." No such thing was said or we would have intervened. What was correctly pointed out that the board seems to be dominated by many of your posts, some of which are pretty strange to most readers. We addressed that point in "Now now!"
It is not our opinion that the posts were harrassing conduct. They would be, if you were trying to carry on a normal conversation and someone was purposely obstructing that. As it was, people voiced their opinions about your posts independantly, and they have a right to do so, just as you have a right to state your opinion about our whether or not we are being fair.
Again, the "Interpretation of the [rules and guidelines] is the responsibility of the coordinator(s)."
Joshua, you state, "You need to give in fact a better explanation here really!..." but I am getting less and less motivated to answer your posts. First of all things have been explained to you over and over, and you have not understood. You do have a record of some pretty insensitive and nonsensical posts in the past. When things were explained to you, your rebuttals were even more indicative of your strange attitude which we do not tolerate. Next, you allege we are doing something unfairly against you, indicate that we have conscious conspiratory motives, and then you write "Is there a special reason why you do that? I know the answer but don't think you'll ever admit" which in essence means you have already decided that we are unfair but will never admit it. Not very fair of you, is it? So why dialog with us? For a good quarrel's sake?
In the face of that, Joshua, your time for posting on exFamily may be up soon. That's my vote. I'll see what the other coordinators have to say.
Anyway, we hope some of this type of unnecessary tension will be sorted out and even avoided altogether, as the new coordinator arrives and will be more active on the board.
