So you want the Mod Notes? How about before I set in to deleting posts?

Jezcoe:This turn in moderation isn’t working.
It is arbitrary.
It is micromanaging.
It isn’t working.
Others say it is.
I am sure that a couple do say that.
I know what the rules say.
If they’re unclear, let us know.

It’s far more than a couple. In fact, the couple is on the other side of the issue.

Nemesis: WuWei: Nemesis:If a bit more piss taking was allowed I guarantee all of us would be more congenial to each other. We are all grown ups we know where the line is.
It was. You weren’t.
Banter and piss taking here has not been allowed for some time.
What I will give you credit for is giving posters a warning shot instead of just banning them or giving a time out.
That is a good use of mod notes. Everyone sees it and learns from it.

Mod notes have their place, The vast majority of your mod notes are not a warning shot to someone who is about to cross the line but you wanting to micromanage the thread.
But we are going in circles here. I am knackered and need to sleep.
I do genuinely appreciate the opportunity to have my say without getting banned or a timeout.

I’d like you to prove that please.
Sneaky…my opinion…if I get timed out so be it. Its the interpretation…I post things here a lot that are probably a violation of the troll rule, but because after 17 years here, mods don’t see it as such because I’ve developed a certain type or style. Yet I see others get posts relegated to the cellar for what I see as no more or worse than I have said. This is where it gets confusing. I get responses to my posts that say nothing more than baaaa baaaa regurgibleat this or that.
How does that add to the debate? Or conversation. If those responses aren’t trolling what is? Or does it truly depend on what affiliation you have.
You asked me…so I gave my structured opinion. Its how I see things. Chips…fall where you may.

Dude, do you really think I am going to spend hours collating and creating a spreadsheet to prove some point?
I know what I see. I am saying these things in an attempt to make a difference on here not to get one over on you.
Cheers.

Is that dirty???
Dem:And while, we are discussing it. Are minor side discussions that do not derail a thread no longer allowed?
Do you think they should?
Should two people arguing about a tangent be allowed to ruin the whole thread for everybody?
Should every thread be a Trump or Biden thread?
A small discussion that lasts a few posts, and doesn’t derail a thread should be allowed.

Summary
You guys are off topic. Please get back on topic. Also all use of foreign language requires English translation in the same post. Feel free to discuss in PMs. Thanks you.
My discussion with rp5x5. A short cordial, back in forth, didn’t derail anything.
another, about discussion needing to stay on topic all the time.
With economy roaring people are buying more beef then ever before. This must disappoint animal rights/environmental weenies and libs in general. With jobs, raising wages and booming economy is causing more beef consumption. Sorry libs…I know you want American people buying/eating tofu using food stamps.
This was originally in the Politics section. If we had stayed on topic, it would not have turned into the awesome thread that it became.
There is a middle ground to be found. But the mods have decided to take the heavy handed approach instead.
It doesn’t and that’s exactly the kind of thing referenced in the OP.

Well, you’re wrong and shouldn’t make the accusation if you can’t back it up.
Then why are these posts allowed to stand? I’ve been regurgibleated to death…baaa’d into oblivion. I just either take it or ignore it. Why fight it.

In your opinion. It was flagged and rightfully so.

I understand that’s the way you see it, multiply it by 50.

We’re going forward, not backwards. The OP in this thread is for everybody.

What gives you the right to turn his OP into a cooking thread?

Oh, I figured it was flagged. But I fail to see, how a 5 post discussion, in a 240+ post thread, derailed anything.
Sneaky…I’m late to the thread, I have not read the whole thing. I sincerely hope you and the other mods believe that…otherwise troll threads just run the risk of flagging outta control. I don’t want that.
