I'm doing this to make it a point of public record and not to combat or debate.

Mike told you to move on weeks ago and yet since then, you've continued to troll me.

In the last month you've disparaged me on the boards, unprovoked at least 6 times that I've managed to see.

You also called me a nasty name via PM, which Mike has told me is directly against the terms of service and punishable.

You've since erased all of the posts (including the name calling via PM, although I quoted most of them)

If I'd done half of that I'd be gone for a month.

Most importantly, I've done NO such things towards you.

That should be enough for everyone to read between the lines.

Why am I writing this? Because my grandfather raised me to believe that if 2 people disagree on something and can't come to a resolution, you can take it in front of 2 or 3 witnesses, and if the 2 or 3 witnesses can't agree then you take it before the entire group.

The fact that moderation is allowing you to post after 7 specific incidents and multiple warnings is telling me that something is not right here.

If I get a strike for pointing it out, so be it.

And now I'm really out.

Roy, why do you care?

Tell them your a public servant and you can get out of it. 

The defense will exclude me just like with the other time.

I don't understand why lawyers can get out of it without problems.

I like attending these just to see the people trying to get out of it give their lame excuses.

Just a general, screaming-into-the-void type comment, directed at no one in particular.

I hope I live long enough to see social media administrators of all types across every platform on the internet realize that creating "safe spaces"  that are "all inclusive" is impossible. Once you get more than a few people together in a group, there will be clashes of culture, personality, and just basic temperament. And when you're talking about online communication via the written word, just plain old misunderstandings are inevitable. The type of soft hazing we used to do around here which, in the culture broadly, has fallen way out of fashion, served a purpose. It forced "newbies" to learn to take responsibility for their own feelings, and not expect an already established group to immediately accommodate those feelings. 

My 2 cents about moderation is that the heavy-handed approach does not work. You can draw your limits around outright attacks/insults/threats, but you can't create or control the "climate" from the top down. A more positive climate happens with social cohesion, and social cohesion also cannot be arranged with a bunch of rules. It happens when individuals make an effort to adapt to the group, as opposed to trying to make the group adapt to them.

Just to use the TWSS nonsense as an example, trying to get people to stop saying it by making a rule doesn't work, because the people who are beating everyone to death with it are ignoring social cues. And they can do this because our ability to dish out social cues is dampened by this misguided idea that all conflict is bad and that bullying is a necessary condition to hurt feelings. Stuff like hazing or piling-on when someone is doing something that the majority find annoying are the normal ways in which a group communicates to the "offender" that they need to moderate their own behavior, at which point they either adapt or leave.

Again, just throwing my 2 cents into the void. I'm glad to see CGC throwing some resources into moderation.

I had to appear a couple weeks ago. The judge asked the group if anyone had a good reason to be excused. Some guy stood up & said he was really nervous. The judge excused him.

You can also say 'is that the scumbag I'm gonna convict?"

I think eliminating the notify moderator button would be a good start to some healthy healing around here...

I served one time on a bank robbery trial. One of the most fascinating things I've been a part of.

:gossip: he was guilty, 10 years :sumo:
