Mods Gone Wild

Nay, I deny the significance of it. Lucysnow: if you felt that my original statement did not represent you, you should have said, in this thread, "This statement by the group does not represent my opinion, personally." Instead of doing that, you have tried to disrespect the group and myself in general in a very lengthy post followed by this even more lengthy discussion. That leads me to believe that your intentions in this thread are not noble... and that they probably never were from the moment you joined our group.

If you disagreed with the group's position, then you could have left. You didn't do that, however, which is how I know that you disagree with my positions purely for the sake of fueling your irrational dislike of SAM -- since that was what my post in this thread addressed. If you had read the group description, then you would know that we are supposed to avoid such pettiness. You have flown against that ideal, which is why I have removed you from the group.

Bells, the majority of the group has already gone on record as seconding my statement in this thread. However, this thread does not include "all issues in this forum" so you may want to rephrase your question.

You seem to believe something is wrong with the post in that link. Care to expound..?

Pavlov would be proud of you, GusGus. So predictable it's boring.

This whole thread is like watching Kabuki Theater, only less music and more lols.

Seven fully initiated members have voiced their opinions in my favor, Trippy. You need to go back and thoroughly re-read ALL posts after page 9. I will wait until you do so.

 

The evidence is already before you, in this thread Trippy. I am not going to go back and quote what is already written by these people just for your sake. My claim is already established. I have SAM, cluless, visceral, norsefire, giambattista, strawdog, and myself in my favor here. At this point, it is for you who questions us to go back and verify our statements -- if verification is indeed what you seek. If it is not, then that means you are anklebiting and therefore our conversation ends here.

Nay, I censure disrespectful voices. Anyone in our group is free to dissent -- civilly, calmly, and respectfully.

Also Canuckoid. Silly Aussie.

Curious: you also asked me to join, then no response. :shrug:

 

Just one question - how did you end up a member? It's just so, so, not Tiasssa like...

 

Which is infinitely worse than actual forum moderators such as yourself:

High Society... you really named the group High Society and expect people to think you were serious?

This is going to be a featured spot in The Onion, right?

Your comments are so rife with contradiction and posturing it makes it laughable. If you could remove your ego for one second, and reread your statements of intent vs. your actual responses you might find yourself laughing as much as we are at yourself.

The fact that you claim to "censure disrespectful voices" undermines the entire idea of free speech at it's core. A real leader, one who wasn't bloated on pride and ego, would realize that people who differ from your opinion aren't people who don't care... They care enough to say something. Real leaders fill their cabinets with people with differing voices that so that they get a more rounded opinion from the vox populi, and not just the ones who smile and nod. It's the blind followers that will toddle off and form a coup with the next gallant piper that comes strolling into town who talks bigger than you. And there is always someone bigger and brighter than you.

You have a lot to learn, my budding little bourgeoisie. Take your lackeys back to your sitting room and have a spot of tea and discuss your next approach. This one is clearly not working.

 

It's very easy: you just type in the names I've given you by hitting CTRL+F on either of those pages. But since you are now finding 5 when before you found only 1, it seems like you have already found a cluster of them without my assistance. Why am I not surprised..?

However, cluless and myself add up to 7, out of the current 12.

Nice of you to say so.

Nay Liebling, let me tell you how it works in the REAL world. In the real world, people who are genuinely interested in intellectual discussion do not act disrespectful in real-life conversations as a general rule. If they did, then there would be legions of people out there who have had all of their teeth knocked out. Therefore, I see no reason why they should behave that way on this (or any) board, either. That's not what I consider to be adult behavior, nor is it even civilized behavior.

Unfortunately, a significant number of people prefer the other, more typical type of forum environment. They'd rather be insulting total strangers, or pigeonholing people based upon a single opinion that someone expressed, or joining into some large-scale flame war. One thing that a lot of people seem to enjoy is flying off the handle over what are -- in the final analysis -- mundane and inconsequential topics and statements. In my opinion, this is why this board attracts a lot of anklebiting posters such as Trippy, Bells, Lucysnow, and perhaps yourself: people don't want a board where they have to behave like civilized adults. They prefer an unruly sandbox, where they can vent like frustrated two-year-olds and be hostile towards one another. As for why people are acting that way..? The answer is that they're unhappy people -- I think that much is obvious, if you take the time to read between the lines long enough.

High Society group is designed for people who want to continue discussing things intelligently, without the inherent childishness that is built into the general sciforums boards. Once someone starts reverting to that behavior, then they are out. The rest of us do not have to suffer that nonsense. We don't need it and we don't deserve it -- so we'll do without it.
