shocked about monitor!

[ebg]

I posted an introduction called "about time" as to "bait" people to post reactive remarks. Much to my surprise..the monitor insulted me in closing my thread. I wasn't shocked that the thread was closed, but with the insults by the monitor staff that it was closed with. In closing the thread they called me a "troll", and they generalized all "Christians as being rude and ignorant". Talked about being biased. Instead of closing the thread with objective wording without insults, the monitor staff demonstrated their true prejudices and real feelings...never again can they claim to be impartal to opinion...caught by their own words!

All of which could have been avoided if you hadn't started it. Now it's going to happen to you again and you'll probably play the victim again and the viewing audience can only wonder if you are you a dumb enough fuck to do it a third time.

How about if I just call you an idiot jesus-freak and get the ball rolling?

Go Blow Jesus Out Your Ass.

Moving to a more appropriate forum. Please don't post non-introductions in the Introductions forum.

Your initial thread was locked because you broke the rules; specifically the one which does not allow you to use insulting language in the Introductions forum.

Staff are allowed to express their own feelings and/or prejudices, but they do not speak for the forum as a whole, or the staff team as a whole. They speak for themselves. None of us are impartial to opinion, and all of us are biased, because we're all human. This is why we discuss decisions and come to a general consensus as staff. It's also why we have non-atheist members on the staff team.

Bad words again. I'm sorry the truth offends you...but why can't the monitors speak for themselfs?

Wait... I'm confused. Your post was made specifically to troll and insult, but when you break the rules, then get insulted about it, you start a thread to complain and troll about it... in the Intro forum?

The "monitor" was right.

EDIT: I seem to have misunderstood - I blame booze.

Your excuse is basically saying "as a referee, I'm going to call the penalty on the team I don't like with insulting them!" Then, you wonder why the team you penalized state your most likely unfair. In sports, or in court, or in a forum...the referee, the judge, or the monitor cannot be insultive because their integrity is questioned. As your integrity has now become.

The "truth" doesn't offend me. I'm not offended. The staff (monitors) can speak for themselves; in fact, that's what my post was telling you. They speak for themselves, not for the forums, not for the staff. They may speak for the staff at times (i.e. when stating a decision), but not all of what they say is how the rest of us feel.

It isn't objective for a staff member to be insulting, I agree, but we've never made the claim that the staff are objective in their words or beliefs. However, the decisions made by the staff are arrived at as objectively as possible. It is standard practice for staff who are too involved in a situation to remove themselves from the decision making process; most of the time this is done by the staff member themselves, but we may ask a staff member specifically to remove themselves from the decision making process if the rest of us feel there is a conflict of interests.

If I call you a dick, that is a reflection of me and my opinions only, regardless of the fact that I am on the staff.

When you post provocative and antagonistic comments simply out of a desire to "bait" people and piss them off, expect to be called a dick, and also, expect no one to give a shit when you whine about it.

We lie in the beds we make, so quit your bitching and stop trolling.
