Just to highlight, no one is asking anyone not the debate the issues in the most vigorous manner possible. Just asking for language that is appropriate to printed media and respect for people who participate in the forum.

Farms.com and Lee/I do not want to limit debate. Having said that, there needs to be some boundaries with the judgement call on what they show be. If you want the wild west of discussion groups, there are likely better forums than this one.

Bill - I like your idea of using your real name. Stops me from saying really dumb things. Perhaps that should be the judgement call everyone makes - if I had to put my real name on this and be accountable, would I phrase this posting the way it is now.

Cropduster,

This is pure Wheat Board INDOCTRINATION, using pooling account money to accomplish political goals.

bduke,

Unfortunatley, I've contributed for such a long time on this forum, I now answer to Parsley.

Often, farmers who know me, as well as farmers initially meeting me, address me as Parsley, even though my real name was involuntarily outed by Vader.

Such is the influence of Agri-ville.

Actually parsley, I wasn't chastising you. (Breath a sigh of relief, if need be.)

Charlie and I were chastising others, though.

And about this or other forums having fewer and fewer posts. I was at a farmer meeting the other day where some of the producers know my role in this. Two of them comments that the commodity marketing forum was getting to caustic and personal. They don't even look at it any more.

Actually melvill,

I was being facetious when I posted:

"farmers need to be herded into occassional submission, whenever they stray from their learned "meeker and milder" role in agriculture.

I'd like farmers to stand up and swing, and never submit like sheep.

They're gonna have to learn to brawl if they want to bank any of their money.

melville,

Who are you trying to kid?

NOTHING draws a crowd like a good brawl.

Cant get mad at the cool kids on this site.

[northfarmer]

too "caustic and too personal", give me a break....this is serious stuff and it brings out real emotions, sounds like they all want to belong to some sort of liberal/socialist censorship panel where we all talk nice to one another and get along....

and submit to the "borg"
