Been a long time since I've gotten any as well. I'm not sure, but I think a long time ago I opted out of modding, and it looks like the UI to flip that flag is gone now, so I can't opt back in. You might be in the same situation...

They've been doing this for years, and long ago burned out my interest in contributing. I've seen 3 pages I helped create/curate get deleted. Happily 2 of the three eventually were re-created by others a year or two later, but a lot of work was destroyed. Let them have their "The free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" slogan - I'll continue to be a parasite reading without contributing unless they clean up their practices to prevent the destruction of good articles.

Another flaw - using the email address as the username and then not verifying the email address prior to actual account creation has lead to me getting a number of accounts on a number of systems I have no interest in. This is probably mostly due the fact that my main email address is very simple and a bunch of people either mistakenly or idiotically keep using it instead of their own... As a matter of fact that's how I ended up with a FB account in the first place.

I think I opted out of moderation a long time ago, but no amount of digging turns up such an option in my settings now. I wonder if it was a one way road? Anyhow, I guess it saved me from some of the new UI confusion.

No, didn't sound judgmental to me, just wanted to offer my view of how diverse the mores of American Evangelical Fundamentalists can be (my view from having been in a fundamentalist community for a long time).

I think there is a correlation so your expectation is justified, but there are all sorts of surprises from individual sects.

That is very strange, who knows whether it was just childish imagination, doctrine or culture from the home or the church, or what?

There are all different flavors of fundamentalists, and while many hold to "conservative dress" as a doctrine, it's definitely not universal. The same goes for the idea of not associating with "non-believers" (bucket group, everyone that does not adhere to the set of beliefs the particular brand of fundamentalism says are required for salvation), some preach that, while others will explicitly preach evangelical immersion (go meet "non-believers" and make them want to convert by being the best friend ever!).

Always nice to hear that social mores around what "racial" couplings are allowed are loosening.

Or, beware your audience. Though on the topic, while it's not the most concise construction, signposting something you find interesting so that the reader pays extra attention (or even just a different kind of attention) to it is certainly common. I don't know if that makes it acceptable, but I tend to think it does.

A thought that made me laugh, how does one say "Patience is a virtue" in the original Klingon?

Also have a friend who raves about their Moto X. Samsung is the top dog as far as people loving their android phones goes though.

Why would you shoot a gun with one hand? Are you trying to miss?

Does it matter if it was malice or vigilantism? Over zealous or mean spirited, he still vandalized all communication around him, even passengers using their phones and other legitimate and safe communications.
