> [@Left\_Hand\_of\_Dorkness](#): > > you’re incorrectly representing the stance for which you were called this term No I’m not. I’ve been nothing but reasonable in that thread, and have copped disgusting abuse from people for my troubles. Such as about the rest of the stuff you snipped out of the quote. What’s the genuine justification for that, hmm? > [@Miller](#): > > Right, and that’s what you said I hadn’t done. So you were incorrect when you said that. I didn’t mod any of the things _you_ flagged, because it’s a Pit thread, not a church Sunday social, and you need to expect a few body blows if you’re going to participate in the forum No, I said you hadn’t done anything to stop the continued, nasty, unwarranted and frankly unhinged personal attacks being directed at me and others, and telling one person “hey, saying I hope someone you know gets shot is too far” doesn’t change the fact you’ve let all the other abuse slide. Yes, it’s the Pit and not a church Sunday social, and some nastiness to be expected (as in the “Fuck you” or “Fuck off” level) but there’s still a point where the mods should be stepping in and saying “Alright, that’s enough, even for the Pit you need to chill the fuck out”. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/thoughts-on-gd-moderation-change-for-gun-debate-threads/964717)._
