Because of the current situation, I kinda wanted to change my avatar. Everytime I do it, however, it doesn't actually seem to change.
Something wrong with the site, or maybe my comp?

Sometimes you have to do it twice in a row to get it. If you give me the URL for the new image you want, I can do it for you.

k, well at least removed the image for you. Wasn't sure what you wanted to do about the type below it though so I left it.

I stepped in and did what I could for now. No Jed your not a tattletale, your helping me out alot with all these things that as a moderator has to take care of. It's difficult moderating with the situation going on these past few days, and I thank you and everyone else who are helping us the staff members, ease the tension. ;D

In fact there is a double whammy of mod posts there now. Actually quite helpful though as it started a new page afresh.

I was joking about the tattletale line. Me making a joke at my own expense. And you guys are doing a tremendous job. As a former mod at another forum, I understand what kind of pressure you're under to keep things cool (well, not a situation like THIS, but in general). My hats off to ya all. Jed Shaffer ~Humility? From me? MARK YOUR CALENDAR!!!

I'm gonna make an unpopular suggestion here. I'm sure it will be shot down, but over the course of the past 48 hours, it's become clear to me someone needs to step up to the plate on this.
I think the Benoit murders need to follow politics and religion into Topics Of No Talkee.
Whether it's the suicide issue, his guilt, steroids, other boards' opnions of wrestling, separating performer from man, or anything else, NOBODY has the same opinion, and EVERYONE is arguing their own. Every two or three pages, there's another brush fire that's on the verge of going Lake Tahoe on us. Maybe it's better for everyone if we just wall off the topic in the forbidden zone then keep stoking a fire that's making everyone draw swords. For the harmony of the board, now, and beyond this issue.

Yesterday I wouldn't have agreed with this at all, but now it seems that people are beginning to move on and it's the same 3-4 repeating the same things over and over again. And for the most part it isn't helpful either. It's "WELL IF THIS WAS _____ YOU'D FEEL DIFFERENTLY" and "**** ANYONE REMEMBERING HIM AS SOMETHING OTHER THAN A KILLER". It's getting ugly fast.

For the record, I'm patrolling that thread as best I can with what I'm dealing with on this end, so I really do appreciate y'alls help in the matter, pointing out flagrant excesses and such.

I know you're not really supposed to chat here, but I just wanted to say that this would be a bad idea. The biggest event to hit pro wrestling ever, and we just bury it? Yeah, some people keep stroking the fires, but at least the mods have controlled it and kept it down to one thread. Do what I do... Ignore it... I've said my peace a few times in there, but otherwise I stay away from that thread because I know exactly what's happening in there... I prefer, at this point, to think about other things...

If we can bury politics and religion, we can do this too. It's not about simply "ignoring it". I'm thinking more of the continued health of the board beyond the life cycle of this topic. Eventually, this story will fade. But will [person A] be able to post alongside [person B] because thought it was steroids and suicide was cowardly, and disagreed? This can lead to some very large disagreements, and could split the board for longer then the issue exists.
Plus, what's left to be said? He's dead. He did it. We don't know why. But we know how. That's it. All that's left is to argue the fine points. And arguing is what many people seem to be excelling in.
Jed Shaffer ~Mods? What do you think?

I stand by this and I hope the Mods do too.
This really isn't something this great forum needs at all, even considering the big issue it is.

I'm with Jed and MGH. Bickering about the specifics is going nowhere and will only end in anger.
Unless something develops in the story, I think the thread should be locked and all Benoit threads deleted until further notice.
