> [@Atamasama](#): > > You’re equating being interesting with being controversial? That right there is going to make things problematic for you. > > I find useful information interesting, especially things I have never heard before. Settled facts are the opposite of controversy (or should be). That’s why I got interested in the Straight Dope in the first place. Not because it’s the place where people like to stir things up. this. some seem to be very much in love with the idea that the things they say make people uncomfortable. iconoclastic thinking for the sake of being contrarian is a phase most of us go through at some point in our lives, but eventually we (should) learn that it’s not welcome or necessary for every little thing. ---

Most of the other mods do stupid shit like the one that caused this thread on a regular basis. **Moderator Note** Keep insulting comments out of ATMB. If you have a specific complaint about a specific moderation decision, make it and don’t hint around like this. Complaints like this are pointless and non-productive. (And I’m going to go way out on a limb here and guess that you’re referring to a mod who warned you. And reviewing your warnings, they definitely look justified. That was pretty jerkish behavior.)

The point brought up by **Surreal** is interesting all on its own though. The appropriate thing to do would have been to make it in a separate IMHO thread, link to the thread in question and have a general discussion. ---

> [@Mr\_Shine](#): > > Nope nothing hair-trigger about SMDB moderation here. Nosiree. Given that I initially gave you a note, and reminded you that _insults are not permitted in ATMB_, and then you went ahead and made it clear which person you were insulting, you can hardly call that “hair-trigger.” You really should have quit while you were ahead. ---
