[Turk]

When I sign a post as "CC MODERATOR" I do so only on instances where I find a post offensive to most. I don't respond to posts as the moderator that are only offensive to me. I respond to them as plain old TURK.

As moderators Ron and I are asked to make some value judgment to what is acceptable, and what is not. For the time being, you will have to live with our standards.

Scary thought is, what would have happened if you were the moderator. What would the next thing from your keyboard be after you wished CS death!

We all have our heros. Mine is Kobe Bryant. If you had said something unflattering about Kobe, I wouldn't have responded. Certainly not because someone was cutting down my hero.
Had you have wished a certain death to Kobe Bryant, I would have responded in the same fashion.

It is really not complicated.
A person does not have to be present for you to vent out hatred before the foot comes down. There are other places where you can do that and talk behind someone's back. Not here. Not now.


We are even handed about this I believe. Test it, have a friend or a relative come in here and post something as vile about YOU as what you did, and see how long before we ask them NOT to.

Then there is the possibility we may let him/her carry on and not say a word. Do you want to take the chance?

If after the clear explanations you still don't see the errors of your ways and want to openly debate the moderators, you only stand to alienate yourself from the group.
This is a playful fun loving group of men and women who would like to keep it that way.
If your expectations are less that that, you are in the wrong place.

Try this for a test. Go to FFR Forum and use the same language toward one of the Smith Brothers (BTW not one of them deserve such) and see how long before you are escorted out the door.

Here, you are still here!

Just because someone is not "IN", is no reason for insults and death wishes. The criteria for proper decorum is NOT whether they are at their keyboards.
We strive to behave the same here as if someone is always watching.
Someone always IS.
