Your *mom *has no understanding.
Awwwwww snap!
You have no understanding of post #3.
Thanks so much for clarifying it for me.
And when he does that, by all means he should be figuratively raked over the coals. But that’s not what he did in this thread, is it? He was very specific about asking if those words were appropriate for an obvious reason.
Your comprehension skills are much, much better than Tom’s and Colibri’s. You understood the implication of what I was saying.
Or maybe they did understand it also, but chose to pretend to infer something else.
When you see every question, suggestion, or criticism as a personal attack, it’s very easy to become overly defensive.
I don’t… understand.
Apparently it’s transmitted genetically.
Does anyone think I got an answer to "Is “you have no understanding’ okay out of the Pit?” If so, can you tell me if the answer is “Yes, it’s okay” or “No, it’s not okay”?
Does anyone think I didn’t get a clear answer, and that I don’t deserve one, so ha ha ha?
Does anyone think I do deserve a clear answer, but unfortunately the question must be left up to context, how the Moderator feels that day, previous tone of other posters in the thread, whatever?
I answered you a week ago, in post #13.
I clarified further in post #16:
Since those words are not a direct personal insult, they would not be subject to an official warning on first instance. However, you might be asked to dial it back; and if you made a deliberate habit of using such words after being instructed not to, you could be subject to a warning.
Yes, it does depend on context, as you are aware but evidently don’t want to accept as an answer. I also addressed this before:
This kind of comment misses the point entirely. It’s not particular words or phrases that are against the rules, it’s how they are used. So yes, it does depend on context.
Most posters in this thread seem to understand this. I’m not going to keep answering the same question (or variants of it) over and over again just because you don’t like the answers you have been given.
What I don’t like is the fact that I HAVEN’T been given answers, but if that’s the best you’re going to offer me, I’ll simply note that it’s also what I expected to get in the OP:
What you’re saying is that you give yourself a free pass to be rude to me, because you’re not technically violating any rule, but I’m not to be rude in the same exact way using the same exact language to other posters, which is what I understood all along, and which is why I was reluctant to open this entire thread in ATMB, as you requested I do. It was a sucker bet, which I took, so congratulations. You’ve gotten what you wanted, which was to waste my time seeking answers that I’d never get.
Sorry, this makes no sense at all. I’ve said I was wrong and apologized for it.
Why do you keep narrowing the focus to you? Everything that has been answered is generalizable to the posting community at large. It appears to me that on this point you are being willfully obtuse, but what for what reason I cannot fathom.
The answer to your question remains: The context in which any statement is made is considered for any poster and may or may not warrant mod comment. Posters making rude comments, even those that do not specifically break rules but may be adding to an increasingly inflammatory tone to a discussion, may be asked to dial it down. Regardless of who that poster may be, which includes you.
Necessary Beckian comment:
You know WHO ELSE made snide remarks on the subject of genetics? 
I thought it might clarify things a little seeing as I used the exact phrase in your OP, we’re not in the Pit and I didn’t get warned, therefore the phrase itself is not against the rules and this is what you want to know yes? If I did get warned or a mod note for that post I expect it would be because it may be perceived as bating you, though that was not the intention.
I’m baffled anyone would think “You have no understanding” isn’t OK. I’ve seen more heated phrasing in GD all the time. Does anyone think the following would be against the rules:
“If man evolved from apes, why are there still apes?”
“You have no understanding of evolution.”
You could say that it is unnecessary and rude, but it is not against the rules. I’ve seen mods request people tone things down when discussions get overheated, but they don’t give out warnings unless people start repeatedly ignoring mod instructions.
Jesus Christ, what does it take to get through? The Mods have told you over and over again “YES! Being rude is against the rules! Insults outside the Pit are against the rules! No, it is NOT OK!” They have also told you over and over again that there is no guarantee that a particular incident will result in the warning, “note,” admonishment, or banning that it deserves. They, Ed Zotti, the Chicago Reader, and all right-thinking Dopers WANT things to remain vague and loose; this allows a little freedom and fun to prevail, while retaining the ability to slap down behavior that will make the place intolerable. The rules are not meant to provide a clear line for you to stand next to, “this much of a jerk and no further!”
It’s more like radiation; there’s an unshielded mass of Authoritah at the Jerk center of the Dope, radiating Mod particles. If you walk right up to it, you’ll die quickly of Moderation Poisoning; keep just a little distance, and you might recover. Farther out in the hot zone, you’ll probably only experience the milder symptoms of moderation poisoning, but repeated exposure will still kill you. On the outskirts of the hot zone, severe symptoms are rare; some people live there and have developed a tolerance, but statistically the death rate is higher, and residents never seem entirely healthy. Visitors are usually OK, but are occasionally struck down, and occasionally a high-energy Mod particle will make it out of the hot zone and nail somebody (this is rarely harmful, but some individuals are sensitive).
It’s these last two categories that draw most complaints; people just can’t seem to get it into their heads that moderation is a statistical phenomenon. They see one person nearly die on his first visit to the hot zone, they see another guy living deep inside the zone who never even seems to get sick, and they say “hey, that’s not fair!” No matter how many times you explain the statistics, and that the old fart is sicker than they think – he’s just not a fucking crybaby about it – they demand consistency and safety from a random universe. They demand a Line of Safety, and a line is drawn, someplace where the chance of a moderation interaction seems very small. But then someone catches that one-in-million Mod particle, and the people scream: “You said we were safe!” And it’s explained, again, that there IS no safety – the only way to be 100.0% safe from moderation is to live in some other universe – one with no Jerk center, but a uniform distribution, or one with no Authoritah in it.
Me, I like it here. I find a little Jerk refreshing, and a little risk, too; so do most people here – that’s why they live in a town built so close to it. If you’re that scared of a little random moderation, maybe this isn’t the town for you. Maybe you should just go live way the hell out in the boonies where the chance of moderation really is damn near zero; but you won’t meet anyone there, and for my money you might as well be dead.
Sure, but be careful or you’ll go blind.
Yeah? You know else who’s blind? Justice!
Yeah? You know WHO ELSE always brought up Justice?
Superman, that’s who!
