This is my take -

When a comment or blog of mine goes into moderation (for some reason it is rare for me - I know for others it is not so rare), if it is feasible to do so, I delete it and try again.  Normally it will go thru the second time - if I make a minor change to it.  I realize it is not always possible to do this with a lengthy blog or comment.  Perhaps you can copy it before you delete it and try it that way so not to lose your content.

If I use a word that gets ******ed, people can use their imagination and fill in the blank - lol.  I do have an extensive vocabulary when it comes to dirty words - but I have tried to work on cutting down on using them the last year or so.  That is not really a big deal to me.

As far as private messages go - I treat the PM system here the same as my work e-mail.  I do not put anything out there that I would have a problem with admin or my boss reading.  I do not think that admin or my boss reads all of my messages or emails but the possibility and technology is there.  They can if they want to. 

MOO - the more time that we spend on these issues, the less time that we have to spend on the real reason that we are here - to help people quit smoking and remain quit.

Agreed..but aren't we all adults here.  Quitting is difficult...and we can't be grammiicly expressing how we feel during our quit process.

I know I'm personally not offended when I read how some describes their quit in their day!!

Well Jennifer-Quit ,I'm really hoping that Administration will work with us and our grievances so we can get back to helping people quit smoking and Remain quit, I sure don't like being frustrated when all I'm trying to is be helpful.

Yea.

MOO - the more time that we spend on these issues, the less time that we have to spend on the real reason that we are here - to help people quit smoking and remain quit. 

But I'm in agreement with Jennifer.  I think it's time to move on.  indingrl  Diane Joy's blog (which I just came upon from two days ago) reminded me of  that.  Am I being helpful, or causing strife?  I have caused some strife, I'm sure, by expressing my opinion (which I  felt needed to be heard) because I care deeply about this community and am concerned for it's health.  But now I think our time is better spent in attending to the needs of those who are here to learn how to save their lives.

I am just too tired to fight about it...I will absolutely NOT rewrite or copy and paste my comments that go into moderation.  That's a bit much.
