Dr Grump said:no, I expect a certain behaviour of mods. Simple. So does Jim is seems. And what do you mean by "when it suits". There are no middle of the road, left leaning mods, so when have I differentiated between a mod and the way they post?
You got one thing right: it's up to Jim; therefore, debate is pointless.
IMO, however, I expect a mod to moderate fairly. It doesn't matter what their political leanings are because I expect them to not allow that to affect their judgement concerning their job as moderators. When I was running a board, I chose my mods with just that ability at the list of qualifications.
Oddly enough, I have noticed over the last couple of years that it is only the lefties who want to hold the staff to a "higher standard." The strategy is obvious to me. The same strategy you lefties hold our troops to: place an arbitrary set of rules on our troops that the enemy has no notion of adhering to.
I never accused you specifically of doing anything ... you stuck your nose into an A-B statement.
No, you are not a mod, neither am I. The fact you find me offensive is of no surprise. People who try to debate in a civil, courteous manner usually get the back up of those not so inclined....go figure...
I responded to YOU, in kind. So WHAT about that "civil, courteous manner?" You'll get what you give where I am concerned, simple as that.
What does that have to do with the price of fish in China? Forget he is a mod for a second. You think it's OK to get into personal attacks and post in an offensive manner? Fine...I just call it as I see it, and if I think the tone of his posts suck, I'm gonna tell him. And too bad if he doesn't give a fuck, I'm still gonna tell him...
I did not say it's "OK" to do anything. Personal attacks and/or posting in an offensive manner happens. If you don't like it, don't participate. This isn't the only thread on this board.
Your conduct is not my responsibility, so go tell whoever you want whatever you want.
