Re: I\'m very sorry
[ QUOTE ]
Which forums are you talking about? Who are these two mods that are bringing civility back to the Internet?? [/ QUOTE ] Well, I don't think anyone can accomplish quite that much as a mere 2+2 moderator. But to clarify, I was referring to the WPT/TV and OOT forums. However, 'The Zoo' really should be in that group, too. |

"Longest log you've ever laid" "Hot chick, strap on, would you" Do those titles signify civility to you? I would describe OOT moderation as some sick experiment in human psychology as opposed to an effort to enforce civility. |

If he had been, I strongly suspect two of those three threads would be gone or not started in the first place. Even so, none of those subjects are inherently uncivil. |

Re: I\'m very sorry
[ QUOTE ] un·civ·il adj. 1. Discourteous; rude uncivil adj : lacking civility or good manners; "want nothing from you but to get away from your uncivil tongue"- Willa Cather [syn: rude] [/ QUOTE ] I think if we are talking 'discourteous' or 'rude' then all 3 of those threads would have to qualify. |

I suppose you could find a definition of 'rude' to fit your post, though. They might be in bad taste, but that doesn't mean the subject is inherently uncivil. Well, at least not in the way I think of the word. |

Re: I\'m very sorry
I think that you can find a definition of rude to apply to any thread and I don't think that it's sufficient reason for any mod to ban someone simply because they don't like their posts.

[/ QUOTE ] Who said anything about banning anyone in this line of posts? I'm not going to get dragged into this type of discussion again. The only reason I even posted in this thread again was to clarify my post, and now a couple of people (not MicroBob) have tried to goad me into discussing wider moderation issues. The mods you have problems with can speak for themselves. |
