You broke a board rule and got called on it. What’s your problem? ---

I’m absolutely completely with you on the core issue, but you did insult someone outside of the Pit which ain’t done. The other response was a ‘hatin’ the sin, not the sinner’ style insult. ---

From what I can see **Czarcasm** did the right thing according to the rules of this message board. You called someone a moron outside the pit. On the other hand. I agree that “British Teeth” in that context is offensive. However it doesn’t offend me one bit. I have crooked top-front teeth and missing rear teeth, but I brush them vigorously every day. I don’t consider having perfect teeth to be relevant to my chances of getting a job I apply for. (ETA: Though I just reminded myself that I tend to keep them hidden behind my lips as a matter of self consciousness when not talking) ---

To be honest, "bunghole"is one of those strange words that seems to capture the imagination. “BUNGhole”, “BungHOLE”, “Bu’ngholé” Hmmm. ---

Just learn to roll your eyes at ‘British teeth’ comments. Secretly and quietly mumble away to yourself that only ‘American retards’ would say such things, and all will be well. ---

> [@John\_Mace](#): > > You broke a board rule and got called on it. What’s your problem? There’s no problem at all. I just wanted to tell the moderator to stick his head up his arse, and now I have, and in the correct forum too. It’s great, and in some small way I feel better for it, and Czarcasm remains one of the best mods we have here. It’s win win, basically. ---

Nicely played, sir. But you seem a clever, creative fellow, surely with a little more thought, and less reaction, you could have found a way to achieve your point without stepping over the line. You did only get told to dial it back, so that’s something, anyway. ---

I don’t see what the issue here is. OP stepped over the line a bit and was asked to reel it in. No harm, no foul. ---

I thought I was doing the right thing commenting in the BBQ Pit. I must have done something wrong because this thread was moved to this forum, I guess. Also “claiming”. :rolleyes: ---

About a year ago. There was a big to-do at the time, a lot of people got upset, the board administration said they didn’t care, a bunch of splinter boards got set up, a bunch of people left in a huff, even more people left in other things, and there was all sorts of drama. ---

It was more the new limitations on direct personal insults to other (non-moderator) posters in the Pit that caused the kerfluffle rather than the new rule that moderators can’t be pitted for their moderatorial actions. As I recall, anyway. That said, there has never, in my recollection, been a time when it was OK to call a poster a “moron” outside the Pit, so the OP has no point to begin with. ---

Didn’t they even give it a name (a la “winter of lost content”), something like “the displeasure” or something else equally vague and ridiculous?
