Now what should I make of no response? Has he taken heed to my advise? Or, maybe he just chose to ignore it, just like everything else he refuses to acknowledge and understand.

 

In retrospect, you used the classic "condescending" liberal response by claiming I cannot see out of my bubble when I know for a fact you're the one that can't be persuaded. Yet you claim your bubble is transparent, right?

What is there to respond to?

a) It's really not worth the effort to argue with someone that's already taken a clear stance on my actions and ability to moderate; and b) I'm still trying to figure out how MonkeyAB got the password to your I-Club handle…

Is this the response you'd expect from someone with shutters on his bubble?

*P.S.* If you feel my moderation is unjust feel free to PM Alex for my job.

Who else wants the almighty scoobsport98 to take my moderating torch?!

 

everyone line up for Erics job !

 

I never wanted your job... (unless you're gettin' paid- then that's another story ) I'm just acting as checks and balances.

And, your response probably doesn't reflect your underlying respect for and understanding of my accuations. I can clearly see why you wouldn't want to make your reverence of my opinion that publicly known, but I'll take satisfaction in knowing that I've made a positive difference here.

... To the politics forum! [clanging bottles]

... now there's "condescending" for ya.

Also, I have yet to see anyone (but you, of course) disagree with what I have had to say of your moderation, in this and other posts. I'm just asking you to please let people make their points and resist your Napoleonic urges to take cheap shots and discredit their opinion. (I know- no specific examples, but I'm sure people know what I mean). Perhaps, if you weren't dubbed the 'moderator,' I may not have such a gripe, as you have outlined in the rules that personal attacks are allowed when 'you can't help it.' But, being the moderator of the forum, you are given some assumed credibility to people who view it. This, I believe, should therefore carry more responsibility and a greater sense of maturity than you have exhibited thus far.


And BTW, My whole family has a conservative, right wing ideology. I can be, and was, persuaded, but only when presented with substantiative, logical, arguments to the issue at hand, none of which I've seen from you lately.

Feel free to attack back, but it will be of no consequence. This and my last few posts have been a genuine effort to reduce the sh*t talking in this forum and up the level of intelligent debate. Don't expect much more of this crap from me- I think I've made my point.

 

Let's make one thing absolutely clear... you have done nothing for me whatsoever.

 

One last thing Salty... you gotta realize that being the moderator makes you more open to criticism. It's like, a reporter is at more liberty to criticise the president that vise-versa. Try letting more of them slide, rather than responding and inciting "hella-dumb" activity . If you do respond, don't sink to their (me included) level.

...just some moderation tips... no animosity here

 

You're starting to look like Bush in that last debate- turn that frown upside-down!


Are my efforts in vain?

 

If you hadn't, please read the rest of that post, I thought that part might turn you off- lo ciento... the tone improves
