it's like... a breath of fresh air.

you realize, of course, that the professional nag patrol, comprised, as it is, of people that know nothing helpful vis a vis the operation of a cpap and thus just think they'll shame others into doing what they want are unable to comprehend what you've posted...

I'm sure they'll be along shortly to make nasty comments, give that's all they're capable of doing.

you however, Sonnyboy, keep up the good work

First time I have seen that and it made me smile. Yes no moderation except self moderation. Is there any self moderation going on?
This is a public place, anyone can come here. This is not a private home or a bar.
In fact it is a friends house, Johnny Goodman. He has invited us here and asked us to behave ourselves (self moderation) while visiting.
I am not sure that chasing off desperate people that came here for help is what he had in mind. I am pretty sure that he speaks directly to that.
It's funny that no moderation can be seen as justification for any behavior anyone wants. Army boots on the couch. Roadside bar talk and manners.
Ahhh but then it would be said that if Johnny did not like it he would say something about it? No moderation except self moderation, usually including himself.
Waiting for us to moderate ourselves.

So I guess this means that when we/you go over to a friends house and they invite you to their best friends house, you act like you do here?
Do you actually get invited back?
Do your kids actually bring their friends over and hang with you? Or say HI and avoid you?
Do you actually act like this with strangers?

This is not your house, it is Johnny's house and we are guests, all of us. We all have the same rights here and I assume that we have all been taught manners.

I pick on no one. I don't single anyone out. I don't even want a response. If this is how you truly behave in a strangers house, then that's on you.

There seems to be great satisfaction in the no moderators part of that link and nothing said about the expectation of self moderation and his request that we do exactly that.
It has been pointed out that that post by Johnny is directed at one faction, have you ever read that same post and considered what parts of it apply to you?

Please do not answer! I do not want to hear it. In my mind it is an excuse and not a thing can be said to change my mind.

Well, I've taken to just "sitting in the corner quietly" in Johnny's house, playing Words With Friends.

However, having just got "ionize" on a TW square I feel the need to jump up with a "Huzzah!"

I tell ya, some of these Confirmation Codes would be very helpful Scrabble words (like "jcnzq", for instance).

You all know how I feel.
Johnny Goodman rocks!

Yes the pollyannas assume that. But it is not true - searchers are not fragile flowers.

Sounds like home. No cute crocheted doilies were ever found there.

Yes and my friends re not mealy mouthed speshul snowflakes who get butt hurt because someone disagrees with them. My daughters friends were always here because they were free to be themselves.

This is not your house, it is Johnny's house and we are guests, all of us.

Why assume Johhny is some mealy mouth fragile flower who needs your help?

Please do not answer! I do not want to hear it. In my mind it is an excuse and not a thing can be said to change my mind.

Yes in other words "don't confuse me with facts I don't like. I am too much of a closed minded fragile flower to believe there are other ways to live"
