And we’re off to a flying start!
Rather than going over all the ins and outs, let me address the question this way: when I said “this isn’t called-for, dial it back,” what did you think I meant? Here is your post and mine:
“Wake the fuck up” isn’t against the rules, as you yourself pointed out. I was responding to the way you addressed Eva Luna - “Sorry, Toots” and “pay attention to the words on the screen” - because I figured the conversation was going to turn personal from there and I was trying to stave it off. Her previous post did address a factual issue, and your response was directed entirely at her. I could have given her a note as well. Maybe I should have and I’ll keep that in mind. But I don’t give people mod notes just for general cursing and I’m not going to start doing that.
So now maybe you get what the problem is: I don’t care if somebody says fuck in GD or anyplace else. I did respond to your comments to Eva Luna. When she responded to your post, of course, you made the brilliant move of adopting the same tone I’d asked you to stop. F’rinstance you called her toots again, and I suspect you did that to annoy her. Do you really call people that in your day to day life? Because I hear that women don’t like that one anymore. Anyhow, you kept that up for a couple of posts and got a warning. She responded more or less in kind and eventually got a mod note, which by that point she’d earned.
