Repped.....
I second that.
I wish you and your family the best Chillen!
In your time of absense it's easy to see the massive impact you make on this forum everyday. This forum has something like 30,000 members and it's a completely different place without you.
Get well soon!

This is in response to Chillen's wife's post...
When you post up something on a forum or on the net, anyone and everyone has the right to respond to it with their own opinions. If you want to censor how people respond, then start a no-response blog or site where you can edit and delete at your own leisure. When you put something up, you are subject to differences of opinion.
1st amendment is a beautiful thing. Like it or not, people have the right to say what they want (I suppose within certain boundaries). But saying someone is craving attention and etc etc is an opinion, it is not degenerating of character. If you don't like it...don't read it. If you can't accept it...don't read it. If you're going to get mad at people you've never met on the internet...then don't read it.
This is not to just Kathy, this is to everyone. You guys/gals can disagree, argue, etc but you cannot hand out infractions because you disagree or get upset because someone said something you didn't like. Get over the fact that we have differences of opinions.

I hear what your saying and I agree. But there is such a thing as trolling as well.
The 1st ammendment has unwritten and written restrictions and/or consequences--clinging to it like a magnet within everyday life: The examples are quite endless, lol.
Yes, one can say whats on their mind, but be prepared for the consequences (despite the 1st amendment): getting fired from a job for opening your mouth, get suspended from school for opening your mouth, go to jail for opening your mouth (criminal law broken), be taken to civil court (for opening your mouth) and on and on with the examples. The circumference of other laws/rules have to be considered, as the 1st ammendment when used litterally WILL get one into trouble---QUICK.
My husband should be allowed to have the atmosphere he wishes in this log, and the others ought to respect it. And, the ones that dont like the log, dont have to view the log contents and ignore the contents.
By the way, I looked through his log, this is THE FIRST POST by you, Evolution.
EDIT: There are some forums that allow the "thread starter" to make the rules (as long as it FITS within the integrity of the FORUM RULES), and allow deletion of posts in the thread that are not appropriate to the integrity of the thread as the "thread starter" chooses (and this ISNT a Blog, etc. A regular forum). And, there is nothing wrong with this.
A THREAD STARTER SHOULD HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER HIS/HER OWN THREAD--why is this so diffucult to fathom--its common sense.
You have rules on this forum that contradict the 1st ammendment (take a look at your own rules); therefore, why is it so hard to fathom allowing my husband to have his own rules for his log (as long as it falls within the forum rules). LOL.
I know him well enough to know that he does respect the log of others. And, I know of only ONE log where he gave information that was not wanted (I believe his name was Todd--FF, and he has special feelings toward FF), and he removed all of the posts at his request---because this is want he wanted.
I have discussed my action with Don. He knows I can be rather upfront and tough. I will not disclose his remarks other than to say that he will be back on Monday or Tuesday (hopefully).

(This post is to evolution. I ask that his wishes be respected)

Even though I'm not an American........and further ' evolution's ' comment on the 1st amendment...... I'll embrace those 1st amendment rights anyway.
So here it goes.....
I would agree 100% regarding your comment about ' thoughts and feelings ', but - ' thoughts and feelings ' - pertaining to fitness.
At least in the context of this forum, such ' thoughts and feelings ' should be at least ' loosely ' based and concentrated on a topics related in at least some way to FITNESS ( this is a fitness forum after all ) IMO - but that is just my own point of view. So the context of a journal or log is important in my view.
In my view, any fitness journal or log could be easily expected to include motivational issues / quotes, training issues, diet issues, personal training / diet milestones, personal training / diet setbacks, personal training / diet frustrations etc. etc.
Again, just my personal view, but I don't think a FITNESS journal or log should also include seemingly every thought or day's experience or musing or ' rhyme ' that has popped into someone's mind that day that has nothing even remotely whatsoever to do with fitness. If someone wants to ramble on and on about non-fitness issues, pics, poems, etc. etc. DAILY, then that's what personal blogs on the internet were made for IMO - and not a journal or log thread on a fitness forum. I also don't think a fitness thread should double as a daily on-line ' chat room ' among a close group of friends to exchange personal messages / pics unrelated to fitness. Forums shouldn't double as ' chat rooms ' IMO - there are lots of other on-line messaging tools that can fill that need.
As evolution said, ' differences of opinion ' may exist. In this case, I think my opinion as to what should and should not be part of a " fitness ' journal or log may be different.
Welcome your thoughts philsaigon

The truth is your perception of Don has always been "off": Just like your private message saying he spammed his way to over 2,000 Posts (LOL!), and calling me "B-tch" (LOL!
).I can assure you, that if he cannot keep his own thread CLEAN to the PURPOSE OF THE THREAD......he will leave.
Because I know him very well, This log means alot to him. And there is no "play" in this decision. Either the integrity and purpose of the log stays in tact or he will go elswhere. Any decision to the contrary, will show alot and which he would not be a party of. He may possibly delete the entire thread, of which would make two VERY happy I suppose. Im sure (its true) that he would be embraced elsewhere.
EDIT: What do you think he was doing this log for? Himself? No. It because it genuinely cares about people, and this is one reason he has been so successful in life. He was doing it for members who would get some sort of benefit from it--even if it meant only one. And, it fits within the rules and is in the correct section of the forum. And during the entire 6 months he has been posting to it---NOT ONE Mod made a complaint to its contents--nor have they posted to it until today (Evolution). (I checked)
Im not "really" trying to STOP persons from posting to the log, but rather post in compliance to "its" integrity--and if they cant, ingnore or do not post to it. The reasons and some rules of engagement were outlined along time ago. I will tell him he needs to be more specific in content: if he isnt already too upset. Really its only two persons causing concern out of the vast majority....I wonder why this is the case?
EDIT: The reason I am saying this in this log as it pertains to the log integrity and posting. It will be complied with. There will not be a debate on this.

I think Evolution's earlier post said it best.......
..........and that perhaps you should govern yourself accordingly.
Have a great day !
( btw - loved the CAPS ........nice touch !
)Warning? What kind of warning? What are you threatening to do here?
I do not see anyone being offensive in this thread and this is an open forum for people to say what they want as long as it is not offensive, vulagar or the like.
I see, LV. I think a good view of the other journals (that have been around a while--this sort of activity to one person by the TWO doesnt happen) and other posts (like unfinished business and 3,000 post thread), you will get a birds eye view what is really going on here. Other members have been asked (so I am told).
To Lei we are just alot alike and we have been married over 24 years.
And, Falco this isnt a joking manner. If you meant it in that way.
If this is going to be the way it is, LV, and no one wants to be mature and respect a contributing members wishes, then we may be left with no choice to delete the entire thread.........and leave the forum. I will ask him that.

Oh no, not at all. I would not think to make light of such a serious matter....
The integrity stays in tack---there is no debate on this subject. Wrangel and you need to understand. This is all he wants.....why can WE be mature enough to accept this SIMPLE request?
If it doesnt........he said he would invoke his option of deleting the thread and calling the Chillout log.....over.
His post counts dont matter his rep power doesnt matter....like some have suggested. He will probably lose well over 1,000 posts when the thread is deleted. He said you all have until today to decide. Otherwise.....the thread is gone and he stops making posts to it.
