That was abuse?
wring said that it was it was a mistake to let her have a life.
SPOOFE implied that she was a computer program, and that Manhattan was a Nazi Fascist Moderator.
minty green accused her of trying to extort a coffee mug.
bibliophage made disparaging remarks about her math skills.
Were any of those abuse?
No, The Ryan, those were examples of humour. I’m not offended that you couldn’t tell the difference - not surprised, either. I should forewarn you that should you want to debate this matter further, it will have to be done in the Pit.
Coldfire, I hesitate to attempt to discern THeRyans true meaning in most cases, but it *may * be that his post was also an attempt at a joke, and he noted the other ‘joking’ references as examples.
However, trying to attempt to joke about banning is a tricky proposition, as we see here.
link?
The Ryan, I think Dex is about the only mod/admin on this messageboard with whom I haven’t had a difference opinion during my time here, but unless someone who happens to be a mod/admin is clearly posting as such I’ve never found disagreeing with their opinions a problem.
If anything at all, I’ve become aware that the mods/admins here rarely post as individuals anymore, and that when they do and people disagree with them they tend to grant those who disagree a little bit MORE latitude than they would grant if the conflict was between members without mod/admin powers.
I really miss our mods and admins being a part of this community, but when I read thread after thread and post after post criticising them, I can understand why they no longer feel welcome as posters here.
“Abuse of power”? Get over yourself.
The Ryan I’ve elaborated in the linked Pit thread. Next time, a link which doesn’t include the entire OP will suffice. Yeah, I know, the text links to the appropriate thread, which is in the Pit. You took me literally. Har. Har har.
