Is that understanding based on any particular post I’ve made?
I’m curious-From which post did you take this “understanding” from?
I’m fine with LHOD, but I’d like to continue this with you. So, if this thread is to be left to your ridiculous modding of “gun grabber”, where can I post to chronicle the ridiculousness of your moderating “lighten up”, “priggish”, and your moderation generally. Would the ascot-free Pit be appropriate? Or can one no longer pit mods?
Why don’t you answer the question directly? If my understanding is not correct, then I’ll ask you to clarify exactly when and where I can use the term.
A bunch of prig-grabbers in this thread, if you ask me.
Too slow.
Because I found your question bizarre and I was wondering if you had interpreted something I had said in a way I hadn’t intended. The deal is this, Oakminster: the phrase isn’t prohibited in Great Debates. (There are few prohibitions of that type.) If you’re posting in a thread and a mod tells you to stop saying “gun grabber,” stop saying it. If there is a more general mod note about turning down the heat in a thread, consider avoiding deliberately inflammatory phrasings like “gun grabber” for the rest of that thread.
These questions make me think you don’t pay much attention to the forum rules even though you post fairly often in ATMB. Perhaps if you do pay more attention, you will have fewer issues that need to be cleared up in future ATMB threads. Since February 2009, the rule has been that you cannot Pit the mods for their moderation. If you want to continue to quibble about my handling of insults like “priggish,” you can start a new thread in ATMB.
I posted first, but you’re just closer to the server. 
Simple, really. There are some phrases that are appropriate for GD, except when they aren’t.
The contortions that some of you people put yourselves through to avoid saying you were wrong must be he’ll on your spine.
Hmmm. If I can only complain about your moderation of the “p-word” in ATMB, that will be difficult without you thinking additional Warnings are justified, especially since I’d be commenting on your “p”-ness" in the process. Not to mention other adjectives that describe you modding style that you are bound to take offense at, regardless of their accuracy. Double-especially if I use it the “p-word” to describe your moderating style. :eek: Not only that, if I were to fairly criticize said moderation, the language would be appropriate in the Pit only, so that would garner me yet another Warning.
Oh well, may the Magic Mod Cloak continue to protect you.
I’m sorry if you don’t appreciate my p-ness. Most people like it just fine once they get to know it. I admit I’m not used to talking about my p-ness in such a public forum, but I think I can handle it. Not to toot my own horn but I think I’m one of the best p-ness handlers on the SDMB.
To begin with, you are still complaining about a topic I told you point-blank that you need to let go of. And your complaint seems to boil down to “I can’t dispute your moderation without insulting you personally, and that’s not fair.” That’s not a magic mod cloak. It suggests you have trouble making your point without insulting people, and this thread attests to the same. If you have anything else to say about any of this - the rules on insults in ATMB, my moderation of your insults in this thread, and so on - do it in another thread and not this one.
I continue to be baffled. If the term is not against the rules, there is no justification for a mod to tell me to stop using it. Particularly when tea bagger escapes mod sanction.
Maybe looking up the definition of “moderator” and/or “moderation” might help? 
Right, it’s not like he’s the fucking hall monitor.
Hey, no fucking in the hall!
I also have an unappreciated p-ness
Please no videos…we believe you.
You’re here at the mod’s sufferance. If a mod tells you to dance like a monkey, you dance like a monkey. If they tell you not to use the letter q in your posts, you don’t use the letter q.
Fortunately for you (unfortunately for us spectators), they’re not that arbitrary. Instead, they expect you to not post in an obnoxious style. Sometimes they let it slide, but not always. If you feel sad and angry when they wag a finger at you, stay out of the gray zone: don’t ever post obnoxiously, even though you might get away with it. Because you might not. You might get a finger wag.
We have a decent amount of discretion in how we interpret the rules because people are, heh, creative - but no, this isn’t how I’d put it or how we want people to look at it. What happened here was that I asked Oakminster to be a bit more civil instead of posting some broadsides about people who wanted to grab guns and didn’t care about prosecuting murderers, and I didn’t explain my reasoning clearly enough. Meanwhile there have been three or four more vitriolic comments in that thread and I’ve modded those, too.
Yeah they are. Liberals get a lot more leeway than conservatives do. All the mods are liberal, hell, one of them was pimping a ridiculous conspiracy theory about an attempt to impreach Obama. Marley hates the South, Conservatives, and all things loosely connected to either. It’s ridiculous.
Pfft. I’m in the major league baby.
