> I have been confused about this whole affair as it related to my act, including what I thought were civil and carefully chosen words.Saying that what someone says 'resembles' an attack has for a long time here been viewed by admin to be no different from saying that what someone says 'was' an attack. Neither have been considered acceptable here for quite some time.
> A few years ago, it was your wish to have us work out our differences with what was tantamount to policing ourselves for infractions of civility without the immediate intervention of deputies.
Sure. I think that we are still encouraged to do so. Thing is that we are supposed to do this *without* accusing or jumping to conclusions about the intentions or motivations of others. It doesn't matter whether what someone said was an attack or not it has never been considered acceptable to say that it was an attack. Saying that a post is or resembles an attack isn't supposed to be our call to make - that is for the deputies to decide.
Maybe you need to figure out what is important to you. Is Greywolf feeling upset about my post your main concern? If that is the case then why not accept what I've said already to Greywolf in my attempt for them not to feel upset in response to my post? Seems to me that the biggest upset in response to it is yours. Because you won't accept what I've said about my post. You still think that it is in fact unacceptable (thats why you would report it, I suppose) despite what I've said in attempting to clarify my intention. I still fail to see what is uncivil about me posting my experience in response to another posters posting theirs.
> "I thank you for describing specific instances when the moderation of this website has hurt people. It is very helpful to refine one's perspective on the posting policies here."
Then... What problem are you having with my post again?
I've said to you that I felt very hurt in response to your saying that my post 'resembled an attack'. You don't seem to give a sh*t about my hurt. That hurts. You don't care. I don't belong here. Thats okay. Whatever. It is just oh so ironic that you can post in 'support' of the rules here when you don't even seem to have a clear understanding of what they are...
But then consistency blah. If this site still aimed to be consistent you would have been blocked with Bob's last post. For declining to rephrase when he requested that you do so.
Whatever.
Good luck you you all.
