I, for one, think the warning was both appropriate and reasonable. Thank you, mods. ---

> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > From folks willing to behave civilly, you’re correct. Not much of a joker here – I specially despise jokes about tragedies and the like. But that doesn’t mean _I_ am the arbiter of what a ‘funny’ joke is or not. Nor would I try myself to be. Unlike others… I thought **Giraffe’s** comment in another thread – which I admit, I only skimmed because again, this topic is ridiculous – would take care of personal comments and they’d be moderated accordingly. But hey! Apparently he made too much sense. Other than that, I couldn’t care less about this topic – other than mocking it for how insane it is. ---

And you know how easily resolved it would be? Make a poll, I am sure most ladies here don’t have a problem with low-brow humor as long as it isn’t personal, as it would be in reverse – the rest is just a vocal Crusade by a few feminists. ---

Funny how others agree that the modding was on point earlier in the thread and it goes by uncommented on, but I say something and you start making personal attacks – not just personal attacks, but ones that suggest I’m “asking for it.” Keep it classy, **Red**. > [@RedFury](#): > > Other than that, I couldn’t care less about this topic – other than mocking it for how insane it is. So, what you’re saying is: while the rest of us are attempting to have a civil discourse, you’re trolling. And admitting to it. > [@RedFury](#): > > And you know how easily resolved it would be?

Have you actually read the threads in question? It’s a whole lot more than “a few.” ---

Mocking and trolling are hardly the same thing. Glad I could help, oh **BeautifulGoddess** of all SDMB members! Because, obviously, that has been established by all. No argument there. ---

No argument there. I’m really unsure what you’re going on about here. The rest of us are having a discussion about a moderator’s decision and you feel it’s necessary to come in and attack me for expressing my opinion, just like everyone else in this post has. Hell, you even suggested that I’m asking for harassment because of my user name. If you have a problem with me, go ahead and Pit me. Can we please stay on topic here with out all the fallacious ad homs? ---

This is, frankly, disgusting. **RedFury** broke no rules, as even **Colibri** has admitted that jokes are fine here, and the mods are still discussing the rules, and yet he gets two warnings and now banned, because he dares criticise you mods. You are all, for reasons unknown, acting like power hungry jerks at the moment, and ignoring all constructive criticism in favour of hunting down anything that could be construed as an insult and jumping on it. It’s not **RedFury** who has a problem with rationality or appropriateness. ---

**Colibri** was right to warn **RedFury**. At best, it is debatable whether **Colibri** should have issued a moderator note instead of the first warning or not. I’d say I agree with **BigT**. It seems like a moderator note was more ideal instead of the first warning. After that however, the second warning was completely justified as not only was **RedFury** ignoring moderator instructions, but his post was also a personal insult towards **Colibri** : [QUOTE=RedFury] Hardly trolling but laughing my ass off at what a mess you’ve made of moderating such a simple issue. Bet all the guys in Panama are gorgeous when not butthurt. [/QUOTE] ---

This sounds like a personal attack on **Colibri** , who happens to reside in Panama, so it’s pretty unambiguous to me. There’s some disagreement about the first warning, but even those people concede that **RedFury** went a bit overboard with that comment. ETA - I agree with **Anonymous User**.
