Anything but normalcy with which I reply isn't from criticism, but the arbitrary or baseless claims that may surround it.

#1 - It's not for you to "buy." I told you what happened. You can cry about it. You can ignore it. You can stick your head in the sand and think you know better. It changes nothing.
#2 - As for the colloquialism you refer to as a childish remark, you've used it in a manner to suggest that people should all readily acknowledge arbitrary social constructs through a medium which is hardly the clearest form of communication. Your attempt at being coy would have succeeded had it actually been applicable in its context. As it stands, nobody who has taken so much as a community college course on logic would have seen that as anything but an awkward attempt to use common language in a rebuttal in which it doesn't fit.
#3 - There has been so much complaining about how the letter of the rules needs to be what is enforced. If DW's post, which was not obviously ribbing, is a problem, then by the letter of the law, so would the subsequent post. I knew what hoops was trying to accomplish, but once again, there would be a bitch-fest like the one you are portraying here if anything was done about a "Fuck you" post, but not a "you, fuck" post. Some infantile poster would then go around saying "you, fuck" in every other post with the defense that, "Hey, it's not against the rules."

Care to share names of the "better" posters in this horrible diaspora as a result of a single day's events, assuming there had been a mistake made? If you have a problem with the site's running as a whole, that's one thing, but to try to blame anything on what is probably one of the least active Mods on here is akin to Chicken Little claiming the sky is falling.

I thoroughly enjoy it as well, and I'd love for it to be a place for adults to discuss current events, sports, and even the more light-hearted topics. However, when people begin to troll with an inordinate number of posts claiming to "pwn" people, and another substantial portion of posts that do nothing but whine about what they don't like about how the site is run (ironic how much you're 'QQing' about it, given your use of that term directed toward others), it drastically takes away from what could otherwise be mature discussion.
Commander of Awesome;1228231 wrote:Typical smug remark, only difference is you didn't throw a brain cell fail in there. lol at calling me childish though, look in the mirror little guy.
Reading comprehension would dictate that I called your ACTIONS childish. Not you. Given that your rant here is not that dissimilar in both persistence and logic to a toddler, your rant here fits. You are not a child, as I've seen you make posts on here that were fine, and even things I agreed with (hence the reps where I'm apparently "on your nuts"). But in this instance, you're indeed throwing a tantrum about something that had nothing to do with you.
Commander of Awesome;1228232 wrote:Que the "I'm down with this discussion, I no longer have to explain myself, I'm all powahful modz!!!! " failsponse.
Not at all. I do my best to be understood, and if that requires more discussion, I'm open to it. I don't understand why people get so emotional about warnings, infractions, etc. Granted, I like this place, but it's not the end of the world if someone doesn't get their way, and the level of emotive responses (not just your own) that result from every damn action the Moderators take is asinine. Things like comparing this place to the way JJ Huddle was because you get an infraction for saying "Fuck you" are laughable. The comparison is ludicrous, as I'm starting to think most people forget what JJ was like. Even in its infancy you couldn't say "Fuck you" there. You couldn't use profanity at all for most of its lifespan.
Now, you can continue to whine all you'd like. You can throw out the occasional "pwn" and "lolfail" and whatever else you think somehow sounds more respectable. So long as you communicate your inability to understand, I'll continue to dialogue, because as annoying as these kinds of conversations are (annoying enough to hate so much as doing anything to enforce any rules whatsoever), the potential to reach SOME sort of civil, adult coexistence is preferable.

There are those on this forum whose post totals would be half what they are if there was no complaining about the moderation.
Fab1b;1228234 wrote:Fuck want to be a mod take my spot!
No fucking kidding. I don't know how someone can look at this, the umpteenth conversation that went about this exact same way, and think that anyone would enjoy it, sans maybe the occasional troll who starts ranting for the sole purpose of causing trouble.
Fab1b;1228234 wrote:I love the site, I just can't post as much because I am much more busy than ever but since I stop posting as much I read the site alot more. There is a collective group of posters and you damn well know who you are, everyone does, that thinks its cute to just troll, whine, bitch, complain, etc...and you wonder why shit like this happens to posters. Mods damned if do damned if don't. A fucking infraction on the interwebs and you cry at the top of your lungs. What the hell do you do when something goes wrong in real life? Probably open the basement door and yell to mommy. Bitches!
Motherfucking reps.

I honestly don't mind the thread. Hoops23 isn't the bad guy in the grand scheme of things, here. Actually, I retracted his infraction back about three hours ago or so, but that didn't matter, because the level of bitching for the sole purpose of bitching on this thread hasn't been him.

Ah, so would you say they've got the potential to drive people away from the site with how they've acted on here? Interesting.
