I, for one, think the warning was both appropriate and reasonable. Thank you, mods.
Just change the name of the report post button to I’m Butt hurt and let’s move on.
I am sure they know you at home – at dinner time. So I’ll give your comment all the consideration it warrants.

Oh! And thanks for the free insult which apparently is OK as long as it backs the mod’s POV. There is a name for that.
Cheers.
That’s settled then. Thank you, DiosaBellissima*

Not a user name that would attract “misogynists comments” at all. Or comments on inflated ego.
Why it is always the most anal people who call other people butthurt, I wonder.
From folks willing to behave civilly, you’re correct.
I guess she’s just asking for it.
What on earth does anyone’s username have to do with anything?
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.
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.
“A few”? 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.
And quite a few more against it – including many, many ladies.
Start a Poll; I dare you
This thread is working well to convince me that the original mod actions being complained about were an example of good modding. Well done, mods.
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?
MODERATOR NOTE
Red Fury, you’re not acting appropriately. Or even rationally.
Given the fact that you have already been warned twice today, some time out seems to be warranted. I’m going to give you 24 hours to cool down.
FURTHER MODERATOR NOTE
While some complaint and etc. is allowed here, this is not the Pit. Please keep that in mind and temper your behavior accordingly.
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]
Really?
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.
