Many people on this forum are anonymous because their comments could bring scrutiny from their supervisors. Some because the crap they talk to other members could be someone they work with and they don’t want that connection revealed. Which means they are actually cowards.
I have to agree with @quad decade guy,
If that was insulting you must of grew up in a bubble. You never hung out with the guys much, been on a bowling team, played sports, etc, have you?
That doesn’t sound like a bad idea.
I think #30 was right on the mark
It was not insulting to me.
I'm in no way condoning personal attacks. And I'd go ahead and venture my opinion that post #30 is probably in violation of the TOS.
It isn't what you said but what he thought you meant to say.
It does work great, I used it once to try it out. The Brown Cafe read a lot better without seeing Upstate Dave.
You learn some creative words and behaivor on tbe golf course as well.
"Punish the perps", Just how would you propose that? I've been here about seventeen years total and Cheryl tried everything under the sun to try and get everybody to get along. Most of the time moderation worked. Ideally, the problem member learns to post without insults and their post will get approved by a moderator. Then that member is taken out of the queue and doesn't have to wait to be approved. Believe me, moderators don't like spending their time reading posts in the queue line and approving them. We still can temporarily ban members from a thread. But the problem is, people can easily work around moderation by simply creating a new account. As I have explained before, only an Administrator has the power to put people in and out of moderation. We are currently running this site without one and will never have access to Cheryl's computer. An Administrator's Control Panel is different from a Moderator's, we will never have the same level of permissions. Until this site changes ownership, that isn't going to change. Most grown adults simply ignore people they don't care about, they scroll on by. If you can't handle that, use the Ignore feature. That is its purpose. Banning members or throwing people in moderation as a punishment simply does not work in the long run and never will. This topic is like beating a dead horse. You have two options that have been explained repeatedly, and you still log onto this site and chose not to use them.
On my way! Thanks.
As the Author of Post #30, I interpret this comment as slanderous, an indirect retaliation for submission of my opinions, and an indirect provocation to engage with this assailant.
Being my wife…
Countless members over the years have revealed her identities. Or dropped enough information overt ime where people have figured out who they are. It happens.
