If you are referring to the TRF thread, I don't believe I implied any particular way was wrong, impermissible or unacceptable only that the particular method being discussed was overkill in this instance.

Actually, no need for my post...I have nothing to gain if I stoop into the fray anymore than I already have. Comments about "God-erators" and what not are unfounded, just perception. You know what they say about opinions....(yes I have one like everyone else, I just try not to "be one").

I happen to agree, but it seems like most of the folks who only came to see the train wreck see it the other way.

Well since I’m the one who used the term I feel the need to respond, and I can say with absolute certainty that my comments were not “unfounded” or “just perception”. My assessment was and still is accurate. It's based on the actual posts on “this” forum of the self appointed "super moderator" rangerstl. You don't ban someone from a forum and then follow the guy around to harass and humiliate him on other forums unless you have very low self esteem and feel the need to abuse others to feel good about yourself. His actions make him a bully. Thus the term God-erator. It fits and it's accurate. This type of behavior has been widely displayed and discussed since forums first started up on the Internet. Not every moderator is a bully, but those who are can be identified very easily. These people should not be in a position of power since the bad will that they generate far outweighs their forum moderation duties. Moderators are a direct reflection on the forum management and they help to define its culture. TRF over the years has had some very notable God-erators, and each and every one of them eventually faded away, but not before leaving a trail of bad feelings, banned and abused members, and the general feeling by many that TRF was not a fair and impartial forum to all of its members. I got sick and tired of seeing people abused for sport and then banned on TRF. I never received a warning on TRF, I was never banned either temporarily or permanently, but I left because I was tired of seeing moderation arbitrarily applied to good people who in some cases were treated badly because some friendless keyboard cowboy with low self esteem took a dislike to the person and then made it their sworn duty to harass and belittle that person until the could find a reason to ban them. The really bad moderators would then follow them to other forums to continue the abuse. Quote:
Assuming that this statement is an insinuation that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a (blank) hole without you actually having to saying it, I'm just curious, you are claiming the moral high ground how exactly? I wonder do you talk like that to people in person, face to face? Do you talk like that over on TRF where you are defending the ability of a moderator to humiliate and abuse a TRF member on “other” forums? Is constructive conversation and debate just too difficult? Honestly to me it all goes back to the first sentence in your post and that’s that there was no need for the post in the first place. Just stirring the pot I guess. What does that says about you…

well for some reason, I can't see my full response.... but basically, it's like this...
-"My assessment was and still is accurate. It's based on the actual posts on “this” forum of the self appointed "super moderator" rangerstl. " I still don't think this is true. Again...your perception of what happened. GH started spewing drivel and on the attack the second he started the post about how proud he was of being banned. (see post #1). I think it went a little something like ... "The ONLY response they deserve consists of two little words, the first of which starts with "F" and the second one with "Y". Then again, their lily-livered feeble minded moderators may not even be able to figure THAT out."... In fact, based on the actual post in "this" forum, you could almost say Rangerstl posted in "self-defense". " It fits and it's accurate. " Yes, that is your opinion... " I never received a warning on TRF, I was never banned either temporarily or permanently, but I left because I was tired of seeing moderation arbitrarily applied to good people who in some cases were treated badly because some friendless keyboard cowboy with low self esteem took a dislike to the person and then made it their sworn duty to harass and belittle that person until the could find a reason to ban them. The really bad moderators would then follow them to other forums to continue the abuse." Are you talking about GH here? "Assuming that this statement is an insinuation that anyone who doesn't agree with you is a (blank) hole without you actually having to saying it, I'm just curious, you are claiming the moral high ground how exactly? I wonder do you talk like that to people in person, face to face?" Yes... I do talk like that face to face and on the other forums. However, I don't generally waste my time. I don't insinuate that "anyone who doesn't agree with you..." If I felt that way, I'd say it straight up. What someone believes is their own choice, I don't pretend to influence it either way. But equally, what I believe is mine and I don't try to be a "(blank) hole" about it. That was the intent of the statement. "Do you talk like that over on TRF where you are defending the ability of a moderator to humiliate and abuse a TRF member on “other” forums? Is constructive conversation and debate just too difficult? Honestly to me it all goes back to the first sentence in your post and that’s that there was no need for the post in the first place. Just stirring the pot I guess. What does that says about you?" To be honest, I don't think RangerStl should have taken the time to comment. But "humiliate and abuse"...really??? (think of me pulling my glasses down giving my most surprised look)... Yep Frank, you're right, I should not have posted. A waste of time maybe, stirring the pot...definitely.... What does it say about me...I got suckered in. Claiming "bullying, humiliation and abuse" is nothing more than a Debating parlor trick, simply a form of baiting. Some might even consider that profane. Just my opinion of course.

You didn't get suckered in. You enjoyed every bit of it or you wouldn't have started that "Somethings Missing" thread over on TRF. That wasn't very mature, either.

No argument there! Oh yea, I started it. I guess the only thing better would have been to lace it with foul commentary.
