Samuel Leming, OTOH, has been here for years without any infractions of which I am aware and this poster has him so up in arms he actually risks breaking the rules. That's gotta tell you something. |
Thanks for the support. I really need it right now.
There really doesn't appear to be a rule against acting like a jerk here as long as you don't step over the line and break an actual rule. That's why some people on other boards say we have a reputation for being passive-aggressive.
I think I see the moderator's reasons for this though. Jerklike behavior is subjective. You know it when you see it, but not everyone agrees on what makes a jerk. The moderators need to be objective. When taking an action they need to be able to point to a specific infraction. Otherwise a moderator can be more easily accused of letting personal issues influence his rulings.
And yet another word from our sponsors
