When I was reading the Freedom Card Board message board today (yes I know that sounds really awkward). The owner of the board, Chris Gilmore (Hi Chris!) mentioned he thought the board needed more moderation as topics were drifting off-course and not staying on point.
As we have seen with Robert's point about Pete Nash, if the thread stays on point, we end up with a seven post thread.

Here we end up with an 100 post thread and an fascinating (to me) discussion about music I'm not tuned into (1990-on rap, hip-hop, etc) and some talk about sports memorabilia.
I think, and please take this for all it is not worth, is that there is really is not any defense on Pete's part he can post towards Robert's accusations since that would get him in even more trouble. The other issue, is there is some very serious legal issues which Leon brought up on our autograph side (may have been memorabilia) in which the actual judgements are posted about Peter. Since those are public documents, Leon is well within his rights to post about them. and that did spark a nice long thread.
So, if we don't go off in another direction, we get a 10 post thread which is meaty but boring and if we do go off in another direction, we hear about that from the mods. To some extent the FCB is having some of the same issues and here is an excellent thread on some of their same "related" issues.
I know this is a long read and most of these will not be familiar to you all, but the gist of the thread is very similar to what occured on the Pete Nash/Sunny, er. Rap/Hip-Hop music discussion thread. Thus, for your enjoyment

And, would you also be in favor of even tighter moderation on this ship. I know some people would and others would not.
