Actually, it is a source of frustration for me that every mod admonition requires an ATMB thread pouting about the mod’s modding, and invariably runs 4 pages and I just want to scream Grow up! (and I’m not saying for a moment that’s what the OP is)
With that in mind, I would not have started a thread on Marley23’s admonition, whether I agreed or not. It was a rather benign admonition, and it was not an severe overreaction, imv.
But since Trinopus started the thread, (and I appreciate it, Trinopus) and I’m cited in the post, I’ll weigh in with my 200 pesos. (and I have no intention to turn this into a 4 page pout)
I agree with Trinopus. We are a community here, and there are some conventions we’ve come to expect. And the community has, on more occasions than I can recall, chastised a poster for the garden variety incoherence that critical1 displayed in the OP.
It seems downright silly that we need a mod to say [essentially], “hey, clean up your posts if you want us to take you seriously.”
In fact, the 2 posts that immediately proceeded from the OP, called critical1 out for the punctuation and formatting. critical1 may be a long time member, but his name is entirely unfamiliar to me. And I’m not the only one that had an issue with the lack of proper formatting.
And I would ask that Marley23 restrain the urge to point out how the nature of my post vis a vis posts 2 and 3 of that thread make my posts “junior modding” although we’re all saying the same things. Because, in the end, I don’t really mind or care.
I disagree with Marley23. It’s no big deal to me.
