Are you the reason this place is going downhill? Lol.

If you don't know, then you are just worse than a simple ignorant. I worked hard for this staff to be as objective it can be. It takes more than 1 to ban or do any action.

Well you certainly dropped the ball this time, LP. In the midst of your little power trip, you couldn't even be bothered to do a modicum of research before you quite mistakenly put me up on the chopping block, yet here you are proclaiming that you "work hard" at ensuring objectivity. 

Sorry, but that's a joke. 

I've long been mystified as to how you even became and remain a moderator, quite frankly. You're not very good at it.

Feel free to PM me if you really don't wanna post again Smile
No, I'm not doing well. Sorry if I don't respond much here.

Thanks, I needed that now more than ever. Happy New Years to you, too.

Hammy new year, Jess.

If you ever feel well enough to talk again and want to say hi, you're always welcome to talk to me Heart

I'm quitting posting here outside Mafia now. I dunno how you predicted the changes well before I did. I also had no idea LP was taking credit for a lot of the 'helpful' changes.

Lots of love,

Hammy - your friendly love 'morally superior bullshitter' Rolleyes



No but seriously have a great new year and you're one of my best friends, Jess. Hope to talk with you again someday when you're feeling better Heart

Fuck’s sake, Thena, no one even punished you. What the hell is happening?

Our argument was making the thread a toothache to read for everyone else, and though I'd already decided to leave t be, I have to own the consequences of my actions. I amongst others was flinging insults and making posts that at times did nothing to advance the conversation. I certainly wasn't alone in that, but "she did it too" is no excuse.

I'm not smoking anything so what the hell is everyone ELSE smoking?! Lol.

I've seen you get pissed off with the Staff when they were perfectly justified and now when a gigantic big deal is made out of absolutely nothing you think it's equitable and fair? Lol.

I think they were justified here in the case of both her and I, not because we were insulting each other, but because we were wrecking the thread.

The criticisms I have of the Staff's behavior in other issues is unrelated. Just because I don't approve of their actions in another thread doesn't mean that I disapprove all their actions, even when it cuts against me. It just means that those other decisions were in my mind flawed.

I'm fine with being the asshole I was there, and stand by what I wrote. But I also understand that doing that made the thread a mess for others to wade through, and I view the staff's decision through that lens. They wanted to preserve the discussion by removing the distractions. I'm cool with that; I understand that they have different priorities than I do.

I also don't think it's a gigantic big deal. I'm not permitted for one week to comment in one particular thread. I've already made my points in that thread, and they're in there for everyone to read ... if that's even important. Maybe if I felt like I had a stake in the place I'd care, but I've seen enough to know better. I come here for a few people I really enjoy.

They duct-taped a couple of loudmouths in order to save the thread. Not a bad move in my book -- better two than all get shut out, I think. And I earned it.

Hey, it’s given me a reason to finally agree with this jackass, so call it a win and move on, folks. Nothing has even happened.

Looks to me like she's not complaining about "punishment", but about sloppy moderating. The guy suggested banning her after he speedbumped the thing even though she observed his warning assiduously -- as you yourself noted.

Criticizing moderation is going to happen, and it should, when it's done with an obvious lack of homework, as it was in this case.

What power trip?

LastPoet is a fine moderator. You are once again talking out of your ass, which seems to be a common thing with you now.

... and yet even in agreement you cannot find it inside yourself to be civil.

Be it noted, Staff: I didn't start anything here, and I am being civil in reply.

That's not fair to use a singular event to paint as consistent incompetence on the part of someone else. LP has contributed quite a lot as a member of the Staff. The Staff considered the post report and came to a consensus on what to do about it. I am sorry for the anxiety this has caused you.

To be fair, I reviewed the context, saw what others posted here in the Peanut Gallery and passed that on. I do not believe you were at serious risk for being banned, not even temporarily.
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
