Why SASKFARMER is banned from site.

Linda is right on the mark. I enjoy the dialogue and the opportunity to learn from others through their sharing experience and also learn what works in the many different areas of Canada where folks that visit this site are from.

There is no need to cut down an individual for their views, even if they are off the wall. I am fairly intrenched in my view on a lot of things, but over the years I find that getting into heated discussions over politics or breeds of cattle just isn't productive.

Hopefully we can continue to have all the regulars and many new folks on this site, and not get into cussing, off color comments etc. and above all, leave personal disagreements off the site.

It is NEVER okay for anyone to run people down personally. Debating is one thing (even heated debates) but personal attacks are another thing altogether. Often in the heat of debate we say things we wouldn't necessarily say if we weren't steaming mad or passionate about our point of view.

When communicating via a web-based medium it is harder to know where the person is coming from because we don't have the visual clues to go along with the words. Communication is 7% verbal and the rest is non-verbal.

Many, many people have posted their views time and again stating that they are fed up with how producers are facing rising input costs and slim and sometimes non-existant margins.

Go to the homepage of this site and you will see who is responsible for this site. It is kept going in order to give all of us a place to come and exchange information.

Sometimes it helps to walk away from the computer to give yourself a chance to think things through. I have taken many a walk in order to sort my thoughts out before posting.

I will urge everyone to keep it clean and about the topic, not the person.

Another way to look at it is that it is not about what is being said, it is about how it is being said.

Why when one is cut off and they email the moderators there is no answer back.
the email is done again and no answer back.
there has never been a reply as to why SASKFARMER was cut off and one would be gladdly accepted.
Also an explanation why the talk about monsanto VS Clearout 41 was taken off and why.
these are simple questions that need an answer.

I would suggest that you e-mail mayor@agri-ville.com

Depending on which moderator you e-mailed and when you sent it, the person may just not have seen your e-mail yet.

Many times large corporations are mentioned on the site and there hasn't been a problem. Not having seen the post about the Clearout, I can only guess that it might have been the way it was said versus what was said.

I hope you get an answer to your query.
