[AlpacaTalk] Clean Slate Proposal? Get real!
Oh big surprise! Last night I sent a rather long reply to the "Clean
Slate Proposal" thread on AS via the web interface, and did not copy it
to a file on my computer... And surprise surprise, Rick did not see fit
to post it on AS. How's that for a clean slate?
His actions are irresponsible, capricious, and unforgivable. He does
not allow posts critical of him on the site, yet he feels free to speak
about anyone in any he wishes. He does practice censorship and acts as
"thought police." That is not acceptable on a discussion group which he
did not create, and which now needs to be finally handed over,
completely, to a more stable person.
Rick's actions on AS have proved he cannot be trusted. His chosen
co-moderators still do not have access to the moderation controls on
the group. It is time he hands over ownership of that group to someone
who has years of rational, calm, and wise contributions to the group,
and to someone who was consulted in advance... And someone who wants to
do it not for personal gain, but from willingness service to the alpaca
community.
Those who say "Oh I don't know how Rick does it on his own!" as though
moderating a chat group is a difficult task. For one, it's a chat
group! That's all! Also, the members are all adults. Someone may post
something that offends someone else, someone may get feelings hurt, but
we're all adults!
I was perma-moderated from AS because a couple of posts of mine were
critical of Rick, and I became short and terse with a guy trying to
find his way around keeping an alpaca with other alpacas... I finally
just said to him "What part of it don't you understand?" That was
enough to revoke my posting privileges on AS for the past 4 years.
Yet have you seen the posts Rick makes to people on AS? It's awful the
way he speaks to some people, publicly, on that chat group. And what I
find more objectionable is that he doesn't hold himself to the same
standard that he holds others.
It is time for Rick Horn to hand over ownership of AS to someone else.
