Shades, how long are you going to punish Ludwig?

Pandas can do it.

Did You see the breasts of an inflatable doll?

Shocking!!!

If you boss were a Mormon bishop, and if he were out to get you, it would make no difference.

I don't have time to draw out every part of my thinking on this, but I am basing this on the asymmetrical distribution of "punishment" over the history of the board . . .

This board is just like our legal system: There are mitigating and aggravating circumstances that must be considered when doling out sanctions. For example, we don't just throw someone in jail for life for killing someone. If the perpetrator spent a long time planning the murder, and then carried it out in horrifically cruel and depraved ways, then he would likely get the chair. On the other hand, if the perpetrator legally proceeded through an intersection on a green light and then struck someone on the driver's side who was running a red light--killing him--then the perpetrator would probably walk.

See how that works? Hence the "asymetry" you see on this board, too: It's perfectly legitimate when all factors are weighed.

. . . as well as the bizarre attitude toward images in general displayed by the board's "conductor."

If you're referring to the Joseph situation, that was resolved a long time ago. Images may now be posted again.

If you're referring to the ludwigm situation, all I can say is that not all workplaces are as forgiving as yours, and not all viewers' sensibilities are as hardened as yours. Just because I must strike a balance doesn't always mean that the balance will happen to land precisely where it's most convenient to you personally.

This has curtailed my own participation here, in fact.

Something as infinitely trivial as that has curtailed your own participation here?? Wow. Good luck surviving on any other message board.

I don't know, why do I bother You this local, private things...
Should I always associate?

Only in the Off-Topic Forum.

With all due respect, Dr. Shades, I think that the moderator who deletes posts and content is a much bigger issue to be dealt with than Ludwig's image privileges. I've observed, over and over again after the Will Schryver c-word fiasco, this moderator deleting posts without even an attempt to be a clone of you and not, at the very least, use red font when deleting entire posts.

Are you sure this is happening? The only posts I've either hidden or deleted outright were ones with the potential for negative legal consequences for one or more users. Even so, these occurrences have been extremely few and far between (thankfully).

This person either does not care and views him/herself as above your rules and a lone maverick, or does not know how to censor posts as you have instructed (I vote for the former).

I'm not aware of any of my moderators doing this. I'm VERY sure they all know better. If you're referring to liz3564, she is no longer a moderator. If it's someone else, please PM me and tell me what happened.

Either way, the integrity of this message board (and, possibly, the safety of the identities of the posters who participate) is in serious jeopardy as long as you allow this person moderator access to Mormon Discussions. Ludwig's images, in my opinion, do not pose such a threat.

I would agree if I knew for a fact it was happening.

I don't understand how any MDB viewing could ever be appropriate while on the clock at work.

Something as infinitely trivial as that ...

It may be "infinitely trivial" to some, sure, but by now it should be evident to the most insensible of gits that many of this board's regular posters do not share in such dismissiveness. I don't believe anything positive can result from devaluing the inclinations of posters in this manner, but that's just my infinitely trivial opinion.

FAIR enough. To that end:

BLIXA: Since you find my handling of the images to be unsatisfactory, let me know what you would do differently. If your way is better, we'll adopt it.

Eventually, most are released from prison. When is Ludwig's release date?

Who gets to decide if her way is better?
