> [@ultrafilter](#): > > If I had made **Cajun Man** ’s comment about closing the thread, folks would probably be asking if I was feeling OK, or if I’d suffered any recent blows to the head. Actually, you probably would have gotten a warning rather than inquiries as to your health. Impersonating a mod is frowned upon with great prejudice. ---

> [@AngelicGemma](#): > > It was _what_ you quoted that I find creepy. The whole “you should only believe what I believe” attitude of the quote was creepy. And like my good friend **Nocturnal\_Tick** , I also find it offensive. Taken in its original context, I don’t see the offensiveness of the St. Isidore quote. It sounds like his words are instructional to Christians, and as such is good sense - for them. As for me, I prefer this quote: > [@](#): > > All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection. By reading we learn what we did not know; by reflection we retain what we have learned I’m not really sure what relevance \*\*Iceland\_Blue’s \*\* St. Isidore quotation has to this thread, but then I’m easily confused. (Unless St. Isidore is a Doper I’m not aware of, which would explain that gigantic airlike sound I heard going by just now . . . ) ---

> [@Iceland\_Blue](#): > > earlier in the thread…That’s where I saw \*\*Arnold Winkelried’s \*\* post. What I don’t understand is why you selected the particular quote you cited. In full, it’s a commentary on heretics - are you making a point with this particular quote, or is it just one that you like? Maybe I’m reading in too much on this one . . . ---

As **AngelicGemma** has stated it was choosing such an oppressive quote and saying “suits me” with a goddamn smiley face. This wasn’t a personal attack, it was me stating the negative impact of your support of that quote and it was **Gemma** stating that she has a growing dislike of your behaviour, which I totally agree with. ---

BTW, if you don’t mind answering, what was your reasoning behind that quote anyway **Iceland**? ---

It was from Arnold’s St.Isidore quote and since I hadn’t heard of this guy,I yahoo’ed him…And on the site about him,came up this quote of his which I felt very apt. ---

This thread seems to be wandering, so I’m closing. **Guin**. In answer to your question, when you report a bad post, it goes only to the mods in that forum. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/on-reporting-moderators-threads/292602.md?page=1)
