It was a question that you could have answered with “none”, but chose not to.
Good riddance.
You might be right. But i think he meant for a single post. He can weigh in if theres a better way.
The only abuses of power that matters are the ones he imagines I committed, not the ones that are actually happening.
It’s really easy to see for a particular flag that’s right there to see, but it’s really difficult for past flags we have long forgotten about. We only get an enduring notice about a flag in our PMs if someone includes a mod note with their flag, and even that’s not easily searchable by who made the post that was flagged (as opposed to who flagged the post). For flagged posts without notes, you just have to see them while scrolling through threads. There’s no good way to search for posts I’ve made that have been flagged afaik. So, I guess someone with an old beef with me who remembers flagging one of my posts can go dig it up and show it to Rugby or something.

What did he do? AFAICT he quoted a post CN made? So dastardly.
A post was deleted after being flagged earlier and Chads posted a screenshot of the deleted post asking why it was deleted, defeating the point of deleting it in the first place. Chads’ post with the screenshot was then flagged and that flag was dismissed by Chads.

I generally think it’s polite to refer to people as they wish to be addressed, particularly if they’ve turned over a new leaf and are wanting to put some of the past behind them.

A few weeks back or maybe a month I was so surprised by your reactions to all of this stuff that I asked a few friends of yours from the Discord what was going on with you. The couple that responded said that you act like a completely different person on there. Charitable, reasonable, and friendly. I’m not sure what’s going on with you here lately, but if you’re playing a character, I’m not interested in chatting with a character. If you are expressing your genuine opinions, then I ask that you go back and read my last half dozen posts in AboutMod with the understanding that I’m not trying to “get” anyone. My last question for example was entirely straightforward. I didn’t understand the timeline of events. I wasn’t shitting on anyone.

FWIW I’d have no problem preserving posts about someone’s terribad support of Zimmerman, and would join in on any ensuing dunking. But I think generalizing that to imply that someone more globally celebrates the death of minority children - based supposedly on a single issue 10 years ago - is a pretty serious personal slander.
I think many people here are way too cruel toward people they dislike, and often too forgiving of those they like.

How about if you just ignore him and move on?
Really? You think that’s a problem here?
Like, I understand that goofy and wookie are friends and expect them to defend each other and don’t consider it a fault that they don’t publicly denounce each other. I think all the calls for “you didn’t get mad when your friend did this” are bad.
eta: bolded the part I was talking about.
Weird. Maybe I’m wrong. I thought this was a commonly-accepted phenomenon here.
@pocketchads I’m not intentionally referring to anything specific. I try to be upfront and honest if I’m going after someone.
Edit: And on that note I may have been too hard on you above. I’m tired. Modding is stressful. I have two kids hiding inside from insane wildfire smoke. I’m doing my best. I know you are too.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about which means I don’t think you understood what I meant.
I’m not saying people don’t forgive their friends. I’m saying it’s not a problem.
I thought it was commonly-accepted that people are too easy on their friends here. I am understanding you as saying that’s normal and expected - so not something to really be surprised by. I’m saying maybe you are right.
Edit: You beat me by 2s but I think I understood you and then just didn’t effectively word my initial response.
Ok, I know people complain about it a lot. “Oh you hypocrite! You didn’t say that when X did this thing!” I think that’s childish, unrealistic and pretty much always in bad faith because everyone does it.
And I think telling people they should be denouncing someone else is pretty universally awful.
I appreciate you articulating this justification and it’s helped me to understand your PoV quite a bit better.

Trolly is in for a solid YES but I’m on the fence myself.
Then again, I try to be a kind and understanding and forgiving person. And barring that, people have a right to type words into the rectangle. Then again, I’m the lunatic who had the most posts in Unchained; I didn’t want Toothsayer banned, I wanted him to keep running his mouth so I can keep clowning him. So maybe disregard my input.

If you think he’s hostile to people here, then ban him? Making this space openly hostile to him specifically does nothing but promote further hostility.
