Can I ask why people do this?

I have to admit to once (only once, that I recall) getting out of line and insulting another ENWorlder. After the fact, I felt bad and apologized, but I still got outta line. In a thread that ended up closed. After we'd all been quite clearly warned.

So I apologized, and hey, I'm still here. I like to think that I learned something from that- but enough about me. My point is, I think we're all treated fairly and I think it's easy to keep it polite.

Wait, that was you?

We've been trying to figure out who it was, so we can ban him. I had my money on Crothian - when in doubt, go with the odds, I figured.

Hmm. I guess all's well that ends well, eh?

Kind of sorry I missed his posts. I almost posted a response a few pages ago, attempting to reason with him, but it just wasn't worth it.

however, I'd like to just paraphrase one thing from my non-posted post... :

And now they crack down before conflict even begins, acting to pre-empt discussions on topics that might devolve into arguments.

I disagree. I think the mods do a fine job.

Just so folks are clear: subtle nastiness and one-upsmanship isn't any more pleasant than blatant insults. There's an end to our patience, and neither are tolerated when folks should know better.

he started it.

BTW, if he shows up at NKL someone please let me know. I'll gladly go smack him around.

I spent some time reading the posts in this thread and getting real confused.

First, what Kevin said goes for me, too. We've got some really great users that "get" the type of community we like here, and all of us appreciate that.

Second, John, it doesn't make much more sense with the posts.
