Calling Out A Moderator

digginfool · November 20, 2008, 09:45:23 PM

There was a post on here earlier today about a deer that was hit by a car. A moderator made the comment that he was against hunting but putting the deer down was the right thing to do. The statement by anybody that is not a vegan saying they are against hunting is one of the great ironies of life and in a very polite manner, I pointed out why. This moderator went on to post that he knew some retard would make the post. If such is the case, then why state you are against hunting? Clearly, it was extraneous to the post. The moderator went on to state in a subsequent post that even though he wasn't specifically calling me a retard, I certainly fit the bill. Then comes the cowardly part; noticing that I was online and reading the post, somebody (gee, I wonder who) deleted it before I could respond. So, in kind return for offering this moderator's wife a birthday wish a few days ago and having extended my congratulations on this moderator's racing successes, this is the stance he chooses to take. If you choose to be rude to somebody you have rode with (true, only once out in the Holeylands at the cleanup ride I helped organize, but we did talk for a long time at the Orlando Quad Scramble) and has always treated you with respect, at least have the courage to accept the appropriate response; not hide behind the powers you obtained by volunteering to be a moderator.

For your information Mr. knowitall, whoever started the post deleted it. NOT ME!!!

Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

How smart do you feel now??

CABLEGUY1 · November 20, 2008, 10:04:10 PM

Yeah you retard!!!!!!

Just kidding.

TRX450R_Racer · November 20, 2008, 10:07:27 PM

Plus I not afraid of any words from anyone. You obviously have a problem with me for some reason. Also I didn't twist your arm to call my wife. Since we're on the subject I also wished you a Happy Birthday since I found out yours was the same day as my wifes. You didn't respond.

offroadjunkee · November 20, 2008, 10:18:18 PM

btw I deleted the post. Didnt see any need to drag it out any further.... Its amazing how some people take the ball and run with it.....

btw nice meeting you guys.... sorry for the war I started.

digginfool · November 20, 2008, 10:22:51 PM

I've already said what I've got to say. So, big deal; you didn't delete the post. You were rude just the same and I've never had a problem with you nor have I ever given you a problem. BTW, thanks for the birthday wish.

You didn't start any war; I've got better subjects to argue about.

I think we need a bashing moderators section

CABLEGUY1 · November 20, 2008, 10:26:50 PM

Yeah,lets start with that maytag repair man. He's the worst. I'm going to send one of my guys to shut off his cable late Friday afternoon and make him wait until Monday for a service call.

digginfool · November 20, 2008, 10:33:25 PM

With all due respect, there have been several instances since you became moderator that you have taken your duties a little too seriously, IMHO. At the time, it made more sense that you deleted it than the author. If I had the power, I might use it myself now and then just to irritate people.

I'm just busting your chops, my friend.

BTW, I'm not sure that's a statistic worth bragging about. Don't you ever take time off to ride?

Somebody is one step ahead of you. They already got me on Tuesday.

I told them that I spun the wheel and it just wasn't their turn to get paid but if they hng in there they might make it next month. I spin the wheel every month so they will win their payment sooner or later

By the way, I love this thread. I have to say that both trx and NYRaptor are freaking jerks.
I love it when the heat gets turned away from me for a while.

AintSkeered · November 21, 2008, 07:15:24 AM

I like Wacker's idea. Because, some of these differences of opinion are interesting and hopefully we all learn better undertand each other from it. But, maybe these kind of differences can be overcome by PMing the contrasting party vs. running out of verbal ammunition and resorting to name-calling/insults? Yeah, it can be fun to insult somebody, but, what's it prove? Did we learn our professions/jobs by having someone stand over us shouting insults? Well, with the possible exception if your a U.S. Marine....(as Skeered lays that bomb and runs for cover)

It's a joke, folks.

You have no clue why I do what I do. You have no idea how many PMs we as mods get from people complaining about other people and the things posted on here. Until you walk a mile in my shoes you have no right to judge why or what I do. Also you know what they say about opinions..........they are like butt holes..............everyone has one and they usually stink!

I'm out on this one.
