@CupWizier you had a comment where you noted you and i had discussed how some things can be frustrating/ or you understand my frustrations. I wanted to quote it, but it was deleted. Im guessing by a mod.
I wanted to say that, yes, we have come to a level of respect and understand frustrations.
I also cant see much of what transpired in this thread, due to edits and deletions, so forgive me if im not completely accurate.
With that said, i respectfully disagree with you. If you read above in your op i noted, you are insinuating that some members are less informed, or more ignarant than others for watching fox news.
Not really a big deal, however when you choose to call out certain members in a vague manner, you have to be prepared for there to be a variety of responses. It looks like a few people, or someone, took it personal. Again cant tell.
Maybe over the top, maybe not, but please understand, when you initiate a jab like that, you will get responses in kind.
These innitiations are what drives the responses that you claim derailed the thread.
Im saying you invited the derailing with your innitial jab in the op.
It is these things that frustrate me.
We have to be fair and fair means if your gonna start a thread that swings at some members you cant cry foul when members swing back. Its been my long standing complaint about this place. Far too many members do this here. Post a jab and then Bitch about the retaliation.
If anyone really wants this forum to improve and grow then it starts with each member holding themselves accountable. Mods will never be able to create anything great here if the forum is always at odds.
Yes, disagreements have and will continue to happen, but ALL forum members must be impartial about themsevles and others, when passing judgment on what is acceptable or not around here and if we all just took a step back when disagreeing and try to see if what someone is about to post would or could be taken wrong, maybe think of a way to reword it instead of intentionally or even unintentionally posting things that appear to be aimed at setting another off.
Get to know someone before you start jabbing if you are jabbing in fun.
Make sure they know its a jab in fun if it is not taken as such and dont do so while simultaneously insulting the person. It is contridictory.
These are basic communication skills that are either generally lacking here or intentionally disregarded in favor of watching others become frustrated.
Either way its warn me out.
I plead with all of you mods to reevaluate this editing and possibly only edit when it could be a danger to the blazers or something.
This thread is near impossible to follow aNd in the middle of reading it, cup mentioned me, but its now gone along with alot of other content.
Not only is it completely confusing now, but it leads mods vulnerable to be accused of editing off of preferential treatment. Whether it exists or not.
You can always make a mods note below the posts, IN the posts, so all know it isnt good or has been deemed as a rule breaker aNd a warning has been given, etc.
there are several ways to make it known the post was in violation aNd still leave it there for ease of reading as well as full disclosure as to what was the violation aNd not just that a violation occured.
