Apology

I must have missed the actual exchange - was Esq posting in his official capacity as a Moderator or as an ordinary member? Because if the former, he is empowered to throw down a speedbump as he deems fit to keep a thread from flaming; and if the latter, he has the same posting rights as anyone else.

Member, which is why I haven't bothered to defend myself from this. We aren't some paid force of employees here exclusively to facilitate everyone else in their posting, we're posters too, so there's no customer service guidelines we have to work around. If GC didn't want other people interjecting into his conversations, maybe he should have them via PM.

The fact that he's given himself the ability to tell me what my "place" is here doesn't engender the greatest sense of fellow feeling during what's supposed to be an apology, either.

Thanks, Esq, that's what I thought but needed to know for certain. Yes, some people forget that we are essentially a volunteer police force. We have certain extra powers and buttons, to be sure, but that Mod hat does come off occasionally.

[LastPoet]

What? You mean that the staff bar doesn't exist?

[KichigaiNeko]

So GC has bit the Ban-Hammer?

[LastPoet]

Not that I remember. I'm confused yet again.

[Cyberman]

What? You mean that the staff bar doesn't exist?

Well, there's that of course. And the staff dungeon, where the photocopier used to be.

[Brakeman]

I have asked God to forgive me because I hurt what He has built first and foremost and I know He's forgiven me.

Did you ask your chair to forgive you too? You'll know it does in the exact same way you know god forgives you, via your imagination!

[Chas]

He's gone? Thank god.

[Cyberman]

Not officially. He's gone off because it's our fault he embarrassed himself, but it'll be his god that tells him to do us the honour of coming back.
