Well then, let’s. If you cannot see how the above is more than a little aggressive then you have a bit of a problem. Again, this is coming from someone who uses such language as a matter of course quite willingly and often myself. The problem is that your opinion, while quite valid, often devolves into an aggressive tirade against those who not share that opinion which then ends with the muse that people should be more reasonable. I mean…
So while the mod team, and yourself, might feel different, were you not indeed a mod quite a bit of your posting style could be viewed as unnecessarily aggressive, arrogant and confrontational. So I’m sorry if you feel you’re being held to higher standard because frankly you are, and so you should be. It’s like what divides ‘us’ from ‘them’. If ‘us’ is behaving the same as ‘them’ then how exactly is order supposed to be kept in a way that does not rankle? I’m not a mod and I don’t expect my sometimes admittedly confrontational and rather dismissive style to be replicated by one because then what incentive do I have to rein myself in?
