So, let me get this straight. You all want me to ONLY edit and delete Gunkid's derogatory posts, but everything YOU say is OK and should be left alone?
Nope. Content of the post ("content of their character" comes to mind), not by the name, or even the history, of the author. Same standards should apply to everyone here, whether a newbie, an old fart, a saint, or a troll.

I was bashed repeatedly for allowing the bs postings, so I did step in and did something about it.
Yes you were, but not by everybody. It's your site; do what you want to do. We need to remember we're "guests in your house", and behave as such.

To be honest, I am about ready to pull out the moderators, cease my own moderation and remove all profanity filters and leave this site to you all to do as you please.
I'd rather you didn't, but again, it's "your house" to do as you see fit.

Since obviously I can't satisfy any of you with how I run this site,
You're generallizing, sir. Many of us have never complained about your actions.

I do have better things to do then to play nursemaid to a bunch of kids (maturity wise) who just want to fight with each other.
Very understandable, and more accurate than it should be.
It
IS "your house", Rich. I just appreciate you hosting the party. But when party-goers get drunk, stupid, or abusive, it's time to either send them on their way individually or else just shut down the party. It's up to the host to decide which route to take. and when.
Lighter side note... Could someone explaing this smilie to me? :bounce: A thing that looks like a cross betwen a UFO and an igloo cooler drops down, then liquefies/sucks the smily face guy inside it, and then shakes it up. Some smilies I like, some I dont', some I thing are goofy, but this one, I just don't get. What's it signifying?
(Figured I'd better ask before the board shuts down, or I get kicked off...
