So it's okay to call another poster "goddamn liar" in IHMO now? Was it always okay?

So – It’s okay now to post vitriol like this, and directly call another poster a “liar” and a “goddamned liar” in IHMO? Was it always okay?

Doing some research, I just discovered: IMHO doesn’t have any sticky with forum rules like (some or all) other forums do! So this is okay in IMHO? Really? Even the Pit has rules!

Please tell me that Ellen Cherry, Gukumatz, and Idle Thoughts have simply been out of town lately or busy with final exams or something, and that they’ve just gotten a little behind in the modding.

With the recent multi-thread multi-forum shit-storm in the last week or so (you know what I’m talking about), one wonders if even the mods have a clear view of what should be modded any more.

I understand that mods will sometimes not hand out warnings if they don’t read the post in question and the post in question may not be read if it is not reported. Just saying.

With that as background, I opine that your links merited mod action. YMMV, IANAM.

Did report the first of the above-quoted posts. See post immediately before the second above-quoted one.

ETA: Lots of other vitriol in that thread, too, even if they didn’t have outright insults like that. Don’t know how high the temperature is allowed to get before the mods get all into it.

I’ve heard they went out drinking at a pub called Biers. It caters to a certain clientele, I’m told. I don’t think we will hear from them soon.
Mind you, that is what I heard, I know nothing.:wink:

Well, so long as it is, in fact, your humble opinion, maybe.

But you gotta be sure to say the word “humble” in there. If you just say its your opinion that someone is a “goddamn liar” the ban hammer starts getting twitchy fast.

The above-quoted posts didn’t acknowledge being opinions, and they sure didn’t say anything about being humble.

And Foggy (above) notwithstanding, I see that at least one of the IMHO mods has in fact been moderating other thread(s) in IMHO. (ETA: here and here.)

So far, I’m sticking with my hypothesis in the OP: When it comes to threads about gender issues, the mods just don’t know what to mod any more.

Missed the god-damn edit window.

Fixed those links in above post:

here and here.

Don’t forget about the “mind reading” exception. There’s always that one.

If, factually, the poster was a goddamned liar, then I see no problem with a lady pointing it out.

If you reported this, I am sorry I must have missed the report because I haven’t seen this post. Did you report it, Senegoid? If not, can you link me to the post please?

ETA: Never mind. I found it me’self.

Just so you know, the mods are discussing it.

It’s fine according to my wife, Ms. Morgan Fairchild.

It’s like a sauna in here.

That turns out not to be the case. HAH.

Thank you for taking it up.

If you don’t mind my asking, isn’t the case clear-cut?

But one question from the OP still remains, and it’s one that I have had for a while.

Why is there not a rules sticky for IMHO?

Whom I have slept with!

I just saw a puff of white smoke. Hope it wasn’t my hard drive.

Well, let me just say I’ll have my doctor contact your doctor and he can get you that cream for you know what.

Though I did enjoy the special swirl at the end.
