ABF | Welcome Your new ABF moderator

Jeff said:
Look at me for example... I am Conservative Tea Partier type which means I don't agree with anything the Left does 99% of the time... Do I moderate on my political views? No.
All anyone has to do here is follow the simple rules of Truckingboards and no moderator will bother you whatsoever. My website is built on people and participation, My goal is to keep members and not run them off, differing opinions are always welcome on Truckingboards.
ABFer did not ask to be a Mod, I asked him to be a Mod
ABFer is not going to tone down his thoughts or be censored or asked to change his ways, Forum Staff are people just like everyone else here and we have our opinions, we do not moderate based on our opinions, we moderate per our rules here.

Jeff I'm not saying a Mod has to believe what I or you believe. I just believe he will moderate based on his opinions and not on the rules. I've had enough go rounds with him to feel comfortable in making that accusation.

Again it's your website Jeff, a great website too. Its your choice and I respect that. I'm just giving my opinion here.

That's my issue with him. I believe he will let his opinions get out in the way. He won't be fair and impartial.

Maybe you should try turning over a new leaf....I would have loved to know what your blood pressure was when you seen who was the new mod....

I actually laughed. Couldn't have been that high.
Why should I turn over a new leaf? I wasn't asked to be a Mod.

Give him a chance Stoney, maybe both of you can seek the high road.....Jeff's made an executive decision...being this is a pro-Union/ABF forum, most will agree with a lot ABFer brings to the discussion. Perhaps this new responsibility will help him defend his positions more carefully.

I have no choice to give him a chance. But anyone who condones a member giving out it private info about another member on this site, is someone I don't respect or trust.

I must agree with Stony - ABFer is a terrible choice for moderator. IMO he, like a few others that frequent this site, only sees things the OLD teamsters way. You know, the way that lead to the demise of almost every teamster organization that ever existed. Stony would have been a much better choice.

I'm sad for the future of the union with "teamsters" like you and stone being the next generation. Face down arse up the new motto.

We aren't the right ones that messed up the deal. Maybe it's you guys that need to start thinking outside of the box a little?

Well, anyone who checks my posts can figure out who I am and where to find me.....no takers yet...unintimidated....by management or rank and file.....I stand behind my posts, and stand corrected when wrong

Have a differing view point and get called middle management

When I get a chance I'll dig into it a little deeper but for some reason, in the back of my mind I thought you surfaced as a manager during contract negotiations. If I am off I do apologize.
duke said:
Getting called management or gutless for having an opposing view of what ABF er thinks. I view this forum for information, I may occasionally comment, only to be chastised when I am critical of the IBT and the way the rolled over during this negotiation.

I do not believe that people who disagree with me are management. However, when someone displays certain points of view that differ greatly from those which would benefit the rank and file I am suspect of their motives and question whether they are management or not. I never called you or anyone else gutless. Not because I don't know what that word means but because it's just not a word that I use. And being critical of the IBT is fine with me and I agree that they rolled over on all of us in the freight industry.

So...your reason to dislike my appointment to the post is because we disagree on how our contract was handled? That is what I get from your post please correct me if I'm wrong and clarify it for me.
 
ABFer said:
For starters you apparently don't realize that labeling someone as Marxist, Socialist or ignorant is offensive and uncalled for. To that extent I will try to help you. Whether or not I can make you see that reality remains to be seen. Whether or not you realize it you are the only one so far who is disgruntled with the appointment of a moderator or who that designee is. I do expect two others to be disgruntled about it. Nothing personal with them as it is with you but because they will be reigned in from their wayward ways as you will be.
I would like to thank all of you for your support for working towards making this a better place to trade ideas and get information about where we work.

Lol. You are sooooooo wrong.

When I use the Marxist/Socialit label its because I see in their rhetoric that they believe in socialist programs like a Single Payer or the nationalization of a any industry, or the redistribution of wealth.
Not my fault a Marxist/Socialist can't own up to whatb they are.

And ignorant. Again everyone is ignorant on something. Everyone! Me, you, everyone. Saying someone is ignorant isn't the same as calling them stupid. It's just saying they don't have all the facts on a particular subject.

Using all three isn't uncalled for.

So what you are saying is that you will never get it.

That's your best defense? Weak! Typical, you couldn't tell me where I was wrong.

Look up the definition of "Marxist", "Socialist", and "Ignorant" and you will see I'm right.

"MY APPOINTMENT"? You were made a Mod, not Treasury Secretary of the United States. Already going to your head I see.
