    Must be like looking in the mirror, Dilmus. Why not try stopping your meds and wandering off for a bit.

    But be careful--ceasing anti-psychotic drugs can be dangerous.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    He is a self-moderating moderator who has put out something he has read and obviously enjoys the content. And he has the trust of the staff and the Islanders. Nothing wrong or improper here, and far from meltdown. Instead of going after the poster, or attacking the credibility of the author, how about critiquing the authors content. There are numerous targets in the content, so plenty of discussion points/counterpoints can be made.

    When I was asked to be a moderator, I was reluctant... because I did not want to stifle my views in any way. And I have not, and will not.

    However,... I try to frame attacks on premises, instead of personal attacks. Hatred and venom spewing is not my style, humor is.
    And racism disgusts me, as does homophobia... and other Xenophbic attitudes. These make Jesus cry, and Lady Liberty weep.

    But it's not funny anymore. Not at all.
