Being an insufferable bitch i.e. moderator rudeness.

Enmos,

I'm on my phone and quoting is a pain in the ass so I'll forgo the effort and count on you being able to remember what you wrote.

As to my defending Gendanken from being insulted, I don't believe that's what I'm doing.
I'm pointing out hypocrisy. You cannot, repeat can not, punish someone for behavior which you, yourself, evince without being a hypocrite.

It's unfair and unjust.

The law applies to all or none.

The topic of whether or not the law itself is valid is an entirely different topic. This thread accepts it as a given.

While that may be, one can hardly compare both offenses and say they are even remotely equal. On top of that, Gendy has built herself quite a reputation.
 
The point is that it is ridiculous and hipocritical to ban someone for being insulting while being insulting at the same time.

Live by the sword die by the sword? Treat others how you would be treated? She was warned, banned, had her posts deleted, and returned to her normal pattern of insults and abuse. Why should I apologize to her for being insulting, when that's the only way I've ever seen her act?

gendanken is no doubt very intelligent, and very witty. But it's hard to argue that she isn't abrasive, profane, and generally insulting to everyone she talks to. I don't know a better definition of ``insufferable'' and ``bitch''. Do you?
 
Yes.

She's intelligent. And, moreover, witty.

that's not why she gets banned. she gets banned because she's the god damned jerry springer show, and it's disgusting.

You're neither.

Same goes for the other nobody being valiantly defended in that thread with this noble punishment.

We must defend those like you from self-knowledge of inadequacy. You are God's special little snowflake. No need to excel or to even try. Lean back and enjoy the ride. We'll take care of you.

just like this pompous bunch of bullshit. if you can't figure out how to, or don't want to socialize, then by all means, don't do it.
 
invert:

I will offer gendanken and SciForums an honest apology if she offers the people who she attacked in that thread the same.
 
Enmos,

On top of that, Gendy has built herself quite a reputation.

A reputation which blinds people, by the way. Sometimes people can actually view the world, however, and not their preconception of it.
It is difficult.

I don't see your point. An intelligent witty insult is still an insult.

Stop trying to switch frames. I'm answering a direct question from Snowflake with that piece you just quoted. It has nothing to do with whether or not I find Gendanken to be insulting.

Stick to the topic.



BentheMan,

Why should I apologize to her for being insulting, when that's the only way I've ever seen her act?

Because you're a moderator and meant to be a shining light in the darkness?

But it's hard to argue that she isn't abrasive, profane, and generally insulting to everyone she talks to.

Everyone? Really? Back that up.

I don't know a better definition of ``insufferable'' and ``bitch''. Do you?

From the reputation you've built up and also from your postings in here and those in question, I'd say that you're an insufferable bitch.

Would you?

Should I be banned and/or warned for that?


Also, as Gendanken so eloquently posted, she finds that other Snowflake to be a false, lolling piece of crap (my words, of course, not hers).
Should she be banned and/or warned for that?

Apparently the answer is yes to at least one of those questions.

Which?

Also, should you be banned and/or warned for the same offense?

Three identical situations.
Which deserve punishment and why?

I will offer gendanken and SciForums an honest apology if she offers the people who she attacked in that thread the same.

You'd place your behavior as completely dependent upon Gendanken's behavior? Have you no self-respect then?

And how can it be honest? Sounds like the definition of false, to me.



Lori Snowflake,

just like this pompous bunch of bullshit. if you can't figure out how to, or don't want to socialize, then by all means, don't do it.

Aren't there aol chat boards for people like you?
 
You'd place your behavior as completely dependent upon Gendanken's behavior?

If she really was offended, then I'll apologize to her, after she recognizes the fact that she's been offensive to other people.

Offer still stands.

Though I don't expect to have it taken.

I think, other than that, I don't have anything else to say.
 
after she recognizes the fact that she's been offensive to other people.

So, she doesn't need to apologize then? Merely state that she knows that she offended a Snowflake?

I think, other than that, I don't have anything else to say.

You know you're being hypocritical.
Why don't you just admit it?
It's really sad, guy.
I would.
 
If she really was offended, then I'll apologize to her,

Also. Stick to the facts of the matter.
I never said she was offended.
You calling her a snowflake?

I'm offended.
Apologize to me.
 
Lori Snowflake,

"people like me"? no, sociopath, there aren't.

aren't there islands for people like you? i'm envisioning a lord of the flies scenario.

i've been a member for over a decade and i've never been banned.

It was called sciforums.
Then there was a forecast for snowflakes.

no, sociopath, there aren't.

I take it that 'sociopath' is meant to be insulting?
Not effective, of course, but what can one expect from a snowflake.

This is not the first time that this particular insult has been bandied about by this particular snowflake.
I'd expect her to be punished if she weren't to be defended.
 
Enmos makes a good point above, how can you be so upset with the injustice of Gendanken being insulted, but seem to be fine with her insulting others? Hypocrisy and injustice aside, the world is an unfair place.
I've always known that sci smacks of privilege, but that's the way this place is, or rather, I see it how it is. It's up to me to adjust my attitude concerning that, rather than making a fool of myself and making a scene.

I can appreciate Gendankens wit. But if she were so intelligent as every one claims, why is it that she cannot learn from her past mistakes and adjust her behavior here? Certainly she must know that a perma ban is in order if she refuses to do so. I would rather see her back off of the insults a bit and remain a member here. She does not have to sacrifice her wit at the cost of her intelligence.

For the record, I thought Loris' butt post was in bad taste... and should have warranted at the very minimum, a stern warning. Especially if this did: http://www.sciforums.com/showpost.php?p=2587955&postcount=2

no, not an insult, a personality disorder marked by anti-social behavior. common symptoms are superficial charm and glibness, grandiose sense of self, lack of remorse, shame, or guilt, shallow emotions, incapacity for love, need for stimulation, lack of empathy...
