THE REAL HENNING

some of you have been asking for this site's moderators to keep things under control. however, i just wanted to let the new(er) members know that there aren't any moderators at dvdtown.com. there is only one moderator (singular), and he doesn't really moderate.

some of you have wondered who this "henning" person is. well, for more information, here is his biography: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neville_Chamberlain .

wow... Even I am at a loss for words...

Well technically not because I said something lete me re-phrase my post...

eddie --
are you sure you posted the right link?

Neville Chamberlain was forced to resign from his position as England's Prime Minister for being too accommodating to Germany before World War II. There are those people here at DVDTOWN who think our Editor, Henning Molbaek, is too accommodating toward Message Board posters who overstep the bounds of civility. But Henning is the most democratic guy in the world and believes strongly in free speech, so short of hard, coninuous profanity, he allows a degree of idiot dissention from both sides of an argument. If I were still moderator, I have to admit I would not be so tolerant.

Perhaps the reason you are no longer a mod here?

Go easy on my John... just playing within the rules

blucanada,

as you don't know the history of dvdtown.com, your guesses about the site's staff members have all been wrong. john is no longer a moderator through no doing of his own.

i don't mind writing this...if i met you in real life, i'd treat you with the same level of contempt as i am here on the internet.

Henning has been busy working on about 800 other features on this new site format, and providing control over my deleting messages is not a high priority for him or for me. It has not needed to be a high priority because until just recently, the folks posting at the Message Board have been a cordial and civil bunch.

But times change.

imposter5, the pleasure would be all yours...

John,
I couldn't agree more. Times do change... Whatever happened to "The Good Ole Days" huh chum...

it's bad enough when the boy cried wolf, but this time, the wolf himself is doing the crying.

henning, your glasnost has made this message board a very unpleasant place. even your staff members feel the same way as i do.

So, then Henning's response is . . .
