You know, as I got to work, I thought that maybe I'd been a bit too harsh in my initial posting. So I went back and re-read things.

I am now convinced that I didn't go far enough.

I'd like to state to all and sundry, and especially to YOU, Spaz, that the only time that you have any say as to what is played on this station is when you request it, or currently during your own show. Any other calls of this nature are made by Progdirjim (with the occasional bit of input from me).

I'd like to take a moment to point out where it says 'currently'. I've always made it a policy to stay out of what the DJ plays on their show. I figure that we're all allegedly adult enough to be able to keep things sane and progressive.

However, recent events over the past few weeks, and especially coupled with this pustulent bit of sanctimonious hypocricy befouling the site, I've been forced to take a very, VERY hard look at the wisdom of this particular policy.

Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be monitoring your show, spaz. Any more instances of non-prog on it will force me to take drastic steps, from cancelling that particular show to cancelling your show entirely, depending on the nature of the violation, or, for that matter, my mood at the moment. And if you can't tell, it's not all sweetness and light at this time.

There are very few things I can't tolerate. Sanctimonious hypocricy is one of them. Sanctimonious hypocrisy flowing out of someone who's ass I've saved on far too many occasions is simply icing on the cake.

Consider this your warning, Spaz. I'm sure that the rest of the DJs will thank you if I have to start babysitting everyone like a kindergarten teacher.

In short, keep it prog or keep it off. I don't want to have to limit your selection to only those songs that are on the station. Don't think I won't. Don't think for a SECOND that I won't.

You seem to have appointed yourself the cop of prog in the forums. I'm just sorry that I've had to step in and show you just where you really stand. You're on thin ice. I'd suggest treading VERY lightly.

Oh, and another thing: this isn't an invitation to a debate. This is a statement of fact. Do with it what you will. Just remember that your actions WILL have ramifications.

Roger -Dot- Lee, I've got a hair trigger and I have no problem using it. Any questions?
