Ok I'm not done weighing all the goat but had to put this up here. As you all know Moses was a bit stunted for the first 6-7 months of his life but since that time he has been gaining weight quickly and putting on alot of size and height. His whole eye issue set him back again but he has taken off since then. Moses has been gaining more than .250 ADG for the last several months. Well I was so excited to weigh him because you can see how he is getting bigger. He gains about an inch a month in height but that is slowing down some now.

Weeeellllll Mo weighed 85 last month up from 77 and this month he weighs..........96 pounds!! That's a .393 ADG. He is growing so much! I used to think he was just always going to be a smaller but but nope, he will be a large buck for sure. By 2-3 he will be a monster I bet. So happy.

That's great Straw! He will be a monster! Judging by the size of our Kiko Joe, he will be huge. His daddy was big, wasn't he? What do you expect his full grown weight to be?

That's good. He will make a very nice stud goat.
I am still kicking myself for not keeping the three Amigo's. Those boys were huge. And friendly

Ok folks. I am going to take a different approach to this issue and break a number of mod rules in the process. There has been friction between a couple of members that has digressed to a very serious level over a period of time. PM's submitted and open forum content now stored in the mod section that you don't see paints a very nasty picture and both sides are trying to pull friends in to defend them. So yes moderator response has been harsher than normal.

Problem is this situation has to be diffused before it gets more serious than it already is. While I understand the want to defend friends on this forum. Too many good people are being drawn and baited into this situation and we need to stop that some how. If members truly want to see the problem end I suggest they use the report button more and don't respond to questionable posts or journal entries. It is only then that we can get back to normal moderation which has historically been infrequent. So I am asking the members to help us by reporting rather than stepping up to defend which just adds fuel to the fire and gives those with the biggest issues the fuel they want to see this continue.

Personally I would like to not have to see people getting points assessed for defending and doing what they feel is the right thing. But the current situation and its severity needs to be ended.

I agree with this. Lets get this back to what it was and should be.

I have become aware that there were larger issues at hand then what we all thought. We thought, at least most did, that this whole Symphony thing was big deal and he was hurting people. Had lots of PM's about him and people really hurt by what went down there. We were mad that the Mods were so strict on us and not on the people they need to be. Well there were bigger fish to fry and issues that us as normal members could not understand. The Mods are doing what they need to do, trust me. That is coming from someone that was VERY mad at the Mods for what has been happening lately. All I have to say is, lets get this back to what it was.
