Because I don’t. You are not Sheriff Buford T. Pusser facing down the bad guys. You’re a moderator in the fluffy bunny forum. Supposedly, moderators are held to a higher standard of conduct than regular posters. Think you fell short of the mark here. ---

Oh please. This is clearly inappropriate behaviour from a mod. If Ed is still trying to clean this place up and make it a professional endeavour, then this is not the way to go. Unfortunately Twickster doesn’t seem to get that. ---

The Pup’s post was amusing. Why a mod took it for an attack I don’t know. ---

Not sure exactly where I am perceived to have failed – use of the word “shit”? Or telling someone who had posted what I saw as a personal attack not to do it? Whatever. ---

This just exemplifies your problems. You don’t actually know what you’re doing wrong. And the ‘whatever’ is so dismissive and uncaring. You don’t know, and you apparently don’t care. Not good for a mod. ---

Based on your continued poor behaviour I’m guessing you won’t be around too long to worry about. ---

Save your breath, haven’t you figured out yet that she’s freaking Teflon? Aint nothing she’s ever done that’s stuck to her. No matter what she says, to who. Her tone isn’t her fault, she never knows what the fuss is about, and besides, whatever… **The** most unprofessional mod, repeatedly, and never a clue. She’s pretty much allowed to be insulting and offensive at will. And, as you can see, freely does so. ---

> [@twickster](#): > > Not sure exactly where I am perceived to have failed – use of the word “shit”? Or telling someone who had posted what I saw as a personal attack not to do it? > > Whatever. You failed because you saw a personal attack where none existed. I think you still don’t really understand the situation. It went like this: 1. \*\*fuzzypickles \*\* posted a thread about his encounter with a homeless person. He finished by calling the homeless person an asswipe. 2. In a different thread about homeless people being hired for a murder, **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup** posted a \*parody \*of **fuzzy** ’s thread. He described a (fictional) encounter with a homeless person, along similar lines to **fuzzy** ’s story and phraseology. And it finished by calling the fictional homeless person an asswipe. 3. You then instructed him to take it to the pit. It appears that you a) missed the joke and b) thought that \*asswipe \*was directed against _fuzzy_. I can understand that you failed to spot the parody. That’s okay. The real problem is your assumption that the word \*asswipe \*was a personal attack on **Happy**. It should have been obvious that it was directed against the homeless person. Even when you missed the joke, you should have seen that. ---
