I knew there had to be a simple explanation, **EDT**. (And for what it’s worth, I’m a bit sheepish myself that it took me so long to figure out what they were – I was starting from the premise that the \*\*\* stood in for something absent. Sometimes I feel like I belong on the short bus.) ---

See… I posted a serious inquerry to a moderator and I’m followed from another thread by thugs with nothing but bad intentions. Shame …double shame. ---

Oh, by the way - **Polycarp** , have yourself a great Friday night! **Rooves** - stop, man - you’re starting to make spelling mistakes, and from there it just goes downhill. ---

Thugs? THEM?!?!? You really ARE a newbie\*, aren’t you? These people were being warm and helpful. Now, there are SOME people here who could give you a right arse scorching. :eek: - - The term “newbie” is used with affection here, as a rule, because it’s used with so much vitriol on other boards. However, Rooves could take a lesson or two from some of the people here with LESS seniority than him, like Blonde and ETF, on how NOT to be a jerk. Step one: don’t take criticism personally because it is generally intended to help you be a better member. ---

Thank you, **dropzone** - we’ve kissed and made up on the other thread, I think. This will be a happy late August weekend for us all, I hope. Look to the sky for Mars. ---

**Rooves** , what say you avoid using gasoline to douse fires, hmm? You’ve owned up, apologized, and now it’s time to move on. Namecalling won’t help you any. ---

Whatever happened to the concept of saying “Sorry, won’t do it again, forgiveness please.”? Or the concept of e-mailing the Administrators (not Lynn, in this exception, due to her illness) and asking this privately? Why do people feel they have to bitch and moan and gripe and whine about how evil the SDMB is, rather than just leaving? I thought I had been warned by **manny** in a GQ thread a few weeks ago (it turns out, he was warning someone else, and I was in the clear…), and my response was to send an e-mail to him “unconditionally apologizing” and promising never to do whatever I did again. (which he can confirm) Why is that such a hard concept? If you don’t like the Rules, talk to the Staff personally via e-mail about it. They are all good people, intelligent, and reasonable. Beating the drum publically does no good, especially as the SDMB is not a community where, except in extraordinary cases, the Rules are going to change as a result of public opinion. And if the Rules don’t fit, or you feel constrained by not being able to misbehave here, then go to LiveJournal, like all the other people who can’t behave here do. ---

For the same reason you’re bitching and moaning and whining. Instead of posting here, why didn’t you send me an email? My warning was in a post, not an email. I didn’t think it inapropriate to used a thread. Next time I’m about to do something I’ll be sure to consult you first. Because you’d do something differently than me, doesn’t mean you are correct. Also, you apolgized for something you hadn’t even done or been acused of. Good for you. ---

seems to me that anyone who doesn’t agree with or can kick the mainstreams ass here, is declared a troll. You want on you gonna have 50, take that to the bank, revenge if I don’t get a friggin answer from one of your mods about nudderconserve ---

We are all supposed to be jerks here! At any rate, a troll is a jerk, so whether you are trolling or being a jerk doesn’t matter. It really doesn’t matter. Really. ---
