Can we get a genuflecting smiley?
Where do you see an admission of anything? She said that she would, not that she should. The two words are not interchangeable.
I wouldn’t be too offended by anyone who can’t spell Pipsqueak!
…now…Squeakspip…that’s a different story!
Fine - please amend my statement to: “Add to it the fact that Twickster herself ADMITS that she would have pulled the warning, but didn’t because of LOUNE’s response.”
I’ll leave it as an exercise to the reader to determine to what extent that changes Twickster’s moderating consistency and rationality.
It’s annoying when people use charged words like ADMITS, with it’s connotations of conceding a point, or confessing guilt, when they really don’t apply. She did no such thing. She simply STATED what she would have done had he not said he was ignoring the warning. That’s all. No admission. No concession. No confession. Simply a statement of fact.
How effective are warnings that can be rescinded if the poster asks nicely to have them taken back? How even-handed is your moderation when you do so? If you’re the type of mod that finds herself rethinking decisions, wouldn’t it behoove you to set your phaser on “finger-wagging admonition, no warning issued” rather than “formal warning”?
OK, now this is just awful. She would have rescinded the warning if he had been more polite about explaining himself? That is just embarrassing.
Or maybe being a jerk to a mod gets you a warning. She didn’t see the point of rescinding a warning just to give him another one.
I like twixter - quite a bit actually - but this latest spate of unnecessary warnings are embarrassing. Not that the parties involved couldn’t have been told to cool it a bit, but an official warning?
This is exactly the mental image I now have of her… and that makes me sad.
I didn’t receive a warning for calling anyone a name outside of The Pit. As far as I can tell, the official warning I got was classified under the catch-all “being a jerk” rule, even if I spelled pipsqweechk incorrectly. 
EDIT: One other thing, how many more things do I have to do or have done to me before I’m one of the Cool Kids? I have a warning and someone starting a whole new thread to defend against the warning. What does that leave? I know someone needs to Pit me and I need to have a lot of people defend me from an unwarranted Pitting, anything else?
Why are you asking me? I ain’t one of the Cool Kids. I’m one of the grumpy old curmudgeons that chases cool kids off his lawn and hates that shakey-booty music they like.
Oh sorry, I wasn’t talking to you. I was talking to the people that you were chasing off.
Well, one of them should be available to answer your question shortly then. At my age I can’t chase em very far.
When you become the age where you start chasing kids off your lawn, aren’t you supposed to buy some kind of intimidating gun also? Surely that has to greatly increase your reach?
Nah. The Grumpy Curmudgeon’s Guide to [del]the Galaxy[/del] the Retirement Home clearly states that the preferred weapon against lawn defilers is a garden hose with sprayer attachment.
That would be happy, huggy KITTIES, sir.
Sorry, this is an internet message board. None of us is cool, that’s why we’re here. 
You mean, this whole time I’ve been looking for the cool kids where none exist? :eek:
It’s all relative; at least we’re not furries.
Word!
