Icenine loves me?

here's why i'm pissed...

i caught this big fat man in a red suit trying to break into my house via the chimney..i didn't appreciate it..

I would just like to report that Icenine has been nothing but a perfect gentleman with me.

I wonder if it's because he finds me ugly.

I find you more attractive... you have to take your time with the hotties... you just TAKE marsupials!

Yes.. that's true. Prince said it all in The Beautiful Ones.

If that is the reason, I am in trouble.

If the Org was always nice and people would always make sure no one is offended, it would be the most boring place and you would all be posting elsewhere. There's no honesty in relationships that preclude friction.

That being said, there are degrees, and yes things can be overdone and a point overstated. Just one look at Icenine's post count tells you this guy does nothing halfway. He's been taken to task and I think that's fair, because at least it's not passive "done me wrong" behavior. Just remember that the reason you are allowed to take him to task is the same reason he was allowed to post this stuff.

So the system is working. Let's not emasculate the Org for so little. There's a ban on personal attacks and comments that are racist or whatnot. That's quite sufficient. Some people would like the Org moderation to be extended to such things as making fun of "fams" and "naysayers" and so much more -- trust me, I know. At the same time, others who have blatantly broken every rule have not been criticized by said upholders of nice manners, but instead defended because they are either sweet, young or just very emotional and some wished to spare them the aftershocks of what they had started.

The way it works here is very simple. You don't like a certain behavior? REPORT it.. Then the moderator decides if the person must be warned or not. If the person is warned, but does not change its ways, this person is kicked out. If you don't care to report it and choose to say something in a post, that is fine too, but it can blossom into a personal attack as well. So be careful out there, because you might find yourself engaging in what you deplore.

I think Ian's moderation has been great. He seems to understand that we're adults despite all appearances of the contrary and he intervenes when it's relevant. People who are not satisfied can talk to him -- I'm sure if your case is convincing, he will act. People are not defenseless.

Thanks Aerogram, and very well expressed (far more diplomatic than I can ever muster!).
