That is how she is. Most people would jump on that one, but I know her broken record.

To be honest I provoked her slightly here and started using her own words to annoy her, but in my defense that was only after I honestly asked what a 'perameter' was since she used the word twice in one post. She suggested that I use a dictionary. Of course then she claimed that my only argument was to point out typos. No my dear Xev, I thought that maybe perameter was an actual word and just wanted to be sure.

But of course at this point I don't bother having a serious exchange with her since the only thing she does is try to irritate you. I can do the same of course. But I try to refrain from obvious profanities, which are too easy, and will scare off other sciforum members, as they have done in the past.

Should a moderator use these kind of retorts?

I guess some people might think they are funny.
Other peope will find them abusive.

I wouldn't give a shit normally, except that she is a moderator. And I think I might see a pattern here. Every time her position is under fire she calms down a bit with the insults.

But of course this all is just my opinion. Feel free to disagree. And xev might come in here now and comment on the size of my penis.

well, people who come here, and want to form an opinion on the question at hand, might want a sampling of xev, which i'll be happy to provide.

 

That shouldn't be too difficult.

 

your post boils down to four points

1) "Xev moderates." You fail to qualify that statement, and I don't blame you.

2) "Xev's not a parental figure." We've addressed that in a previous post and you even contradicted yourself after you wrote it.

3) "Xev has no responsibility as a moderator except to herself." I disagree with you on this point, but there's no way for me to know because I don't know the duties of a moderator in this forum. If there are no duties, then you're right, Xev has no responsibilities. But then why have moderators? I suspect there are some duties that Xev is responsible for.

4) "The other moderators have no problem with the way she moderates." You may be right, but I don't see how you could know this. I suspect you're just guessing based on the fact that she hasn't been tossed yet. I think I was contacted for a reason, and maybe some moderators are fed up. I'm just guessing too, but I admit it.

The rest of your post is bullshit; irrelevant personal attacks on me. I won't comment on those.

 

No one is trying to ban Xev. The question is an opinion poll on whether Xev should continue to moderate. You know that. Xev doesn't even want to moderate.

Whether you believe that a moderator contacted me or not is independent of the fact. It's also irrelevant to the thread, but you asked me why I was here, and I told you. There's probably no need to keep bringing it up, as I'm never gonna make you believe (mostly because I don't care if you believe or not) and you're never gonna change the fact that it happened.

So, what you meant to say was that some moderators don't have a problem with her. OK. I never argued against that.

I didn't start this poll/thread. I didn't even know it existed until it was pointed out to me (by the moderator you don't believe exists).

I don't care that she is insulting me. I don't give a crap. I never responded even once to her insults. The only thing I responded to was her vulgarity and only to point out how disgusting it is.

I don't care if she agrees with me or not. A lot of people don't agree with me and I don't start banning polls or threads.

The question remains upon which this poll was started and upon which I expressed my opinion. You have every right to disagree.

 

So basically your saying you have no reason to bannish her? I mean we pretty well covered that Xev writing style and her moderating abilities are two separate things. So what is your reasoning again?

 

There is no banning here as I understand it. Just removing her from moderating. I wouldn't vote to ban Xev.
I've already addressed my reasons, and I suggest you go back to review my posts. There's no need to reiterate I think. I will continue to post xev examples as they appear for edification purposes.

 

Sorry for the mis-wording, all this talk of banishing people has me confused. Could you state your reasoning again because I thought many of us already cover how her eccentric attitude is separate from her job as moderator.

These examples reflect my opinion well.

 

ya ya ah ya we went over that about her behavior being separate from her moderating position.

 

good god! if you don't stop quoting entire bodies of text, i'm going to start a poll to ban you. it is against the rules (that little link at the top of the screen you conveniently missed).

 

i hope this doesn't tie. It's getting so annoying... can't you open minded people cope with her? I mean; is she that much of a problem? so you don't agree with her... big deal! You can't shut up everyone you don't agree with. I'm with an>droid.v2 - just ignore it if your eyes are too sensitive.

Oh, but I back Padma up.

 

an>roid.v2,

ah sorry about that I was talikg into paulsamuel and her reply to me jsut above yours.

 

I think his point was that you can't ignore her because she is a moderator.

 

Your eyes can't skip over her posts, eh? Some mysterious force is compelling you to read every word?
