Thing is, the point would have just been a short statement in passing if
you hadn't kept dragging it on. And, again, the green and purple 
examples are a VERY racist thing to say...humans of color are not the 
"rainbow wig guy" at the football game. To state that people of color 
are equal to being green and purple shows your intrenched racism..as 
does your adversity to being respectful of people of other races when 
speaking of them. If this tiny little point can not be touched upon then
how can the subject of alternative medicines developed by these people 
be discussed? "Them jungle bunnies"?

The proper way to moderate is to put:
Dia Spriggs
ALTMEDFIDO Moderator
at the bottom of a moderation. (as well as short clip of the rule 
broken, or a short declaration of what was inappropriate). A "I'm not 
going to take this anymore!" scream is hardly good form. Most anyone 
that would come across such a post could hardly be expected to think 
that it was moderation from a moderator.
You see, I had no idea that you were the moderator...I thought you were 
just another person giving their opinion. And, without the "official" 
moderation entry...you are to be considered so. It's only fair. 
I'll drop the subject now. I accept you as moderator..now that I know 
you are it. I'll strive to follow your moderations, if you will allow me
to remain. And, if you want me to leave this echo I will. Just ask, and 
I'm gone. Or you can send mail to my board and have them limit my 
access. Whichever way you wish.
