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.
mmm, no, you’re going to have to help me out here. otherwise it sounds like you believe “does something I disagree with” is equivalent to “systematically clueless.”
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.)

I was not referring to Chronos, but will not take it further. There are countless ATMB threads about Jonathan Chance and nothing gets done, so why waste time with one more?
Moderator Warning
OK, since you’ve explicitly named the person you were insulting, let’s make this an official warning for insults. Like I said, if you have a specific complaint, make it. Don’t resort to back-handed insults.
Colibri
Nope nothing hair-trigger about SMDB moderation here. Nosiree.
it’s not the noose’s fault you stuck your neck in it.
The noose even said: Watch out, noose ahead.
Dude you specifically did what you were asked not to do. Come on.
This is beautifully written.
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.
A hair trigger mod would have Warned you for the first post.
Anyone from Alaska will tell you, a provoked noose can be more dangerous than a bear.
Provoked or not, you don’t want to hang around with a noose.
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.
A nöøse öncë být mý sïstër.
You responded to a note saying “don’t do it” with"oh I’m gonna do it!" And you consider that hair trigger?
Not sorry I laughed. I was picturing it all as a cartoon.
No noose is good noose. Most people never see a noose at all, except on other people.
Just saying.

Just wanted to chime in as well and note that this is wonderful.
“Thinking I’m gonna do x.”
“Sir, please don’t do x, or you’ll be warned.”
“does x”
“warning”
”unfair hair trigger reaction!”
This does not inspire confidence in your decision making capabilities.
Bravo!!!
