> [@magellan01](#): > > [Scene of the latest injustice.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=556777) 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: > [@Next up: Immigration reform (one more time)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/next-up-immigration-reform-one-more-time/533353/31): > > Sorry, Toots, but I knew that the kid had to be 21. That’s probably why I didn’t say otherwise. So, why don’t you wake the fuck up and pay attention to the words on the screen, ignoring the ones that aren’t there. > [@Next up: Immigration reform (one more time)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/next-up-immigration-reform-one-more-time/533353/33): > > This isn’t called-for, **magellan01**. Dial it back. “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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/here-we-go-again-shitty-moderation/533522)._
