One can disagree with a another person's statements without being so disagreeable. The desire of a poster to one-up another poster or belittle them in some way usually starts the big problems on threads that drone on and on with zingers and put-downs and replies something like I've used as an example are usually how it starts. |
First off, IMO this is inappropriate and shouldn't have been said in the first place because it is moderating a thread. It's like little kids shoving each other in the back of the minivan while on vacation. Poke, poke poke.....until mom and dad have to step in.

As for intent.....who cares what the intent is? Not something we should be judging constantly....I don't think we really know it .. not REALLY. People just think they do. Irregardless, what is it with people who chomp at the bit here to correct others?
Someone said this some time ago...I think it was Lynzy and it was great:
"Post and let post"......just like "Live and Let Live" |
I've reported posts before that I felt were out of line, inappropriate or even spam. Some were deleted and others were not. It's not our job to tell anyone how to post. If the mods or admin do not like something that is said they can decide for themselves what is acceptable and what is not.
