I was attempting to have a dialogue and he refuses

I was attempting to have a refuse and he dialogues?

[Trolly]

There are plenty of people here who could be mods that would be acceptable to the vast majority of the posters here. The problem has always been a small handful of permanently aggrieved trolls who constantly harass virtually every mod we’ve ever had into quitting. People getting salty with Tilted ITT are a fine example of this, what exactly did he do to piss you guys off?

[anon59375068]

He ran off a mod

People can tell me how I’ve aggrieved them and I’ll talk to them about it. I’m not going to guess how I might have aggrieved them.

God I laughed hard at this post, both because I knew what the answer would be and my psychologist wife would have phrased the question exactly that way. Wouldn’t let someone get away with the non response answer though

[anon59375068]

You’re missing the point. I don’t think I’ve done anything that should have made someone upset. I’m probably wrong and have. This is a blind spot we all have. Me guessing what grievances unnamed people might have against me is pointless, because the point is clearing the air with the people who are aggrieved and are seeking reconciliation.

And like I said I doubt I’ll get any takers but if I do I’ll talk to them.

@Tilted

because I had a read that I still feel is legit.

Why did you feel you needed a read? It’s obvious when people are winding others up so when they react they get banned, and it’s obvious that campaigns against a small number of posters were run to falsely smear them as racist or sexist and to deride their origin, or mischaracterise their posts, yet you and almost all of your fellow mods idly did nothing at best or actively joined in at worst.

Then, when it all starts falling apart, you come up with “Oh, how has this all happened and what can be done to put this right? I’m confident in my reads, though”.

Dreadful.

This is not a blind spot we all have.

[anon59375068]

Right, not you.

[StrontiumDog]

You laughed at someone being patronising dick - no surprise there.

Yes.

[anon59375068]

But again, the point is the dialogue between those who feel aggrieved and the person open to reconciliation.

@Surf

Feel free to let me know what part of my recent post was being a dick? Keed gave his response and didn’t seem to take any offense. He acknowledges probably has done things that upset posters, but recognizes has a bit of a blind spot to seeing it in himself so said is open to being pointed out.

NEVER SHOW WEAKNESS: Gotta go Trump-style to win

Another mistake by Keed

This is how it’s done.

A perfect post.

@Tilted

Honestly, I don’t have any regrets and I don’t feel bad about my actions because I had a read that I still feel is legit. I’m also 100% being honest when I say that I don’t believe engaging with you will lead to anything so I’m choosing not to.

@simplicitus

Basically, I see this site as requiring goodwill on the part of posters and also mods.

At this point, this site requires a moderation scheme that does not assume goodwill.
