Gotta admit I got a good laugh at how this went sideways on post 2!
Look contrary to what You think Im not on here 24/7
There are many other moderators
I tend to hope that the "adults" around here are well mature, I know a lot to expect
My hope is that some of the stupidity would end and rational people would rise to the top
Honestly some of the posts that are reported are not worthy of comment or "Time outs"
I don't want to bring the hammer down every time someone is an idiot. People have rights to be stupid... Its the American way
And the same 4 or 5 bozos seem to be unable to be nice and push the envelope a lot (Its usually the 2nd poster that sends things into the ditch)
OH well I hope people can self regulate. still hoping
Thanks for your response, Payton. Informational that you stated about "reported posts". Shows how thin-skinned some of these fragile little egos are on here. They play the tough guy on their keyboard, then whine like a schoolgirl to you when they get butt-hurt. I go on record today as stating that I have never reported a post to the mods.
I understand why you don't wish to impose regulations. It is sad that we even have the need to consider such measures. 3-7-77 has made an effort for civility, but there are 4-5 posters who refuse to man-up. Your comment, Payton, about the "second poster sending things into the ditch" is apropos. It should be noted that certain posters intentionally stay on the attack mode, every chance they get. When attacked, posters have the right to defend themselves. But to solve the ridiculous back-n-forth, it is the initial poster who has the blame. Pretty obvious.
Anyway, I will once again make the plea to all posters to man-up and end the childish pissing contests. Talk Grizzly athletics, that's why we visit this site, right? At least, most. For the others, Facebook or Twitter might be your cup-of-tea.
