| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:34 | comment | added | anastrophe | likewise. have a pleasant day. i have a funeral to get to in the morning, and its after 2:30am localtime for me. i'm sorry my comments upset you this much. no, i'm not going to redact your inappropriate commentary - that we will allow to speak for itself. | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:31 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | Well edit them then, I could then post here complaining about people editing my comments. I'm not sure you're getting the point of this are you? | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:28 | comment | added | anastrophe | i already quoted the policy below. you aren't expected to express your opinions differently because you're a moderator, you're expected to express your opinions in a civil manner and without rudeness, period. your posts have been relentlessly uncivil and have used rude characterizations at every turn, in contravention of policy. there's a saying that 'the police should be held to a higher standard of conduct'. one would reasonalby expect a moderator to conduct himself within the scope of policy, n'est ce pas? | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:26 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | But I've not moderated or editing on any of your posts, not one, I've simply stated my opinions, which would be the same whether I were a moderator or not. So I don't see why my moderator status has even been mentioned by you, unless you expect me to express my opinions differently because of that status. Can you answer that? | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:19 | comment | added | anastrophe | have i said you aren't allowed an opinion? please identify where i did so. i am flummoxed by your relentless rudeness, contra policy. is there any place here where the moderators are moderated for violating policy? | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:13 | comment | added | Chopper3 Mod | Are moderators somehow not allowed an opinion? Even if it's one you don't like? | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 9:08 | comment | added | anastrophe | As I said, if it's the culture here, I'll learn to live with it. And I guess try to remember to change my writing style when I'm here, though it's hard to make that adjustment as a one-off. I at least appreciate your courteous and thoughtful responses. I'm pretty well flummoxed by the moderator's behavior however. | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 8:58 | comment | added | Jason Berg | Your command of the English language has one glaring fault; you refuse to use proper capitalization. This may seem like a small thing to you, but it makes your writings more difficult to read (read up on the importance of serif vs. sans-serif fonts. It's a similar thing). On a site for professionals, we do have a standard of professionalism and part of that is reflected in the readability and quality of the posts on the site. Don't conform if you don't want to, but please do not take offense when others edit your posts in order to make them fit with the overall theme of the site. | |

| Jul 23, 2011 at 8:52 | comment | added | anastrophe | I rarely use slang, abbreviations are entirely appropriate depending upon context, and no, I wouldn't write something to the board without proper caps. I exchange email with our CEO (there, caps!) on a near daily basis, and I write as I normally do (I report directly to him). The content of the message is what matters, not capitalized first letters. Yes, I do take it personally, but if that's the culture here, then I'll learn to live with it. I will note that it's extremely rare that my words are better understood after another editor has changed them. My command of English has few faults. | |
