Small potatoes?

[wilomn]

I won't deny I was talking about circumventing a ban in response to his threatening it. But not in the manner he repeatedly tried to tell me I did. No new account making would have taken place. But Pitt went even so far as to tell me to re-read my own post after accusing me of the wrong thing. I'm just saying if you're going to accuse me of something and claim I said something is it too much to ask that it's the right thing?

Six of one, half a dozen of the other. You wanted him to think you would, he did, you succeeded, so did he.

Perhaps letting it go would be appropriate here and further allusions to violations of rules should be avoided unless one's exit from the site is immanent.

I still think that Mike41793 and Kodieh are fine and valued members of our forum, I just wish they'd spent a little more time thinking about how what they'd written would be interpreted by others before hitting the 'send reply' button.

I'm not saying we should blindly post without thinking. But how on Earth are we supposed to know how others are going to interpret something? It's entirely up to the person and will change from person to person. I mean look at this thread, a number have people have come out on both sides. How are we supposed to be in people's heads?

Even then it changes on whether or not you know the person posting. From seeing other posts Mike has made I felt fairly confident he did not desire to consume or punt any imaginary small dogs.

I mean we have to use our best judgement, and it's skewed because it's our best judgement. If we think it's funny, we are biased. I can't know what random thing may offend a random member. I don't mean this post as the start of an argument, and will refuse to take it in that direction if any replies go there. I have no interest in starting anything with you Mark, I just think that the above might be kind of what happened here.

Confound it man, why are you always right?

Wow Super Moderator Deborah. I guess I really hit a nerve. Sorry for insulting you by making this thread. I did not make this thread to start drama and honesty can not believe the kind of negative response it has gotten.

I still don't see why its such a big deal if we discuss something like this in public. I know better now and will not try to change the way things are done here.

Y'all have made it very clear that the forum does not need me and I think its ridiculous that we have mods that can have such a poor attitude toward members.

Being a member is a privilege. I get that. Is being a super moderator your right? That's how you are acting. Your a grown woman that can not discuss such a simple thing without becoming defensive when it wasn't directed toward you and other than you being a mod had nothing to do with you.

I know the forum will be just fine without Mike and I but I hope you never leave for it would surely crumble.

Stick a fork in him! But, seriously, someone is WRONG on the internet!

Any way, I do disagree but I do also understand. And that's a maturity thing, something I'm sure Mike will come to...never. But, hey, we're down one and up a party. Where's the champagne? Although, I started drinking at lunch. So, I got a head start.

I think the mods would welcome a nice discussion about how things work and how to improve things. but this whole thread seemed more like a slap in the face then it did any discussion.

I'm glad that thread got locked. It made my gut turn.

[Kodieh]

Didn't Han Solo say that?

Anyway, the mods will be happy to know I've thought twice-- actually three times in the response I wished to give to the posts above.

Moving on.

Well dillan2020 that was not my intention and thought this was actually going to be productive. I was very wrong.

Arialmt you can't be serious?

[mackynz]

Also, was Mike warned prior to his ding? Does it not say that he should have been? If he wasn't, shouldn't you rescind it since the sites rules were, accidentally, not followed?

Not sure what the rules say about it, but according to the PM, him he received no warning. Just thought I would throw that out there since he's not here.

[I-KandyReptiles]

I'm just going to say that I don't think mike should have received an infraction.

I hope I don't get one for my opinion but I feel Mark acted impulsively and acted too harsh. He let personal feelings get in the way of moderating IMO.
