Kai Lord, I am less than pleased. Go read my comment in that thread. Yes, I'm referring to you.
Posting inappropriate statements just to get a thread closed is a sure way to annoy your moderators. Doing so and then posting a "helpful" heads up here in Meta when you know that you've just violated a whole slew of EN World guidelines is both calculating and deceitful. I expect you not to repeat this strategy. No, I don't care if you're furious about the topic; you can always report problems, but I don't expect you to contribute to them.
EDIT - I should be fair. If deliberately sinking that thread wasn't your plan, your vow of "I will get this thread closed" certainly made it look that way. In any event, posting the warning here was much less effective than just using the edit button on your incensed post.
If this is somehow a problem, please feel free to email me.

Wow, you don't exactly need a whole lot of facts to make accusations of your own, now do you? FYI, my statement that I would "ensure the thread is closed" if he continued making offensive comments was related to a discussion I was going to have with the Moderators here on this forum, under this thread, if the situation escalated. Forgive me if I fail to see how that's "inappropriate."
EDIT THE REST AND REPLACE WITH:
This isn't my playground, its yours. I concede that my presentation probably defeated the purpose of my point. A pity that the original thread will continue without a counterpoint to the offensive post. Your post on the thread claiming I was threatening to post "controversial opinions" for the sole reason of having the thread closed is of course a complete falsehood.
Oh well, so I've been slandered on the internet. Somehow I think I'll live.
From now on I'll do my best to stick to the Art Gallery and Story Hour. It was never my intention to cause friction.

Hey - which part of "feel free to email me" is unclear?
Heck, no. Wander far and wide, and post early and often! Have fun. Just please don't fan any fires if they're already smouldering; if you see a post that's really inappropriate, click on that little "report this post to a moderator" link instead of going after the person yourself. That really makes our lives a lot easier, and stops problems/misunderstandings like this one.
Also, don't forget that you have access to an "ignore" list if you find folks who continually rub you the wrong way.
If you want to discuss it farther, give me a holler.

Perhaps that's not the right outlook, Kai Lord.
This is still your playground. But you aren't suposed to bean someone with the kicikball just before reporting them to the teachers for saying something naughty. You know - pots decrying the colors of kettles, and all that?
Or, perhaps more simply, this is still your playground, so long as you play nice. *shrug*

why? what makes a person want to put someone who voluntarilly spends their time trying to make the site better for all of us on their ignore list?
do oyu think it would be better if people did not recieve warnings if they crossed hte line, then got banned without ever seeing a friendly reminder?
i have to wonder what would make someone come here and say such.
in a scant 30 seconds i easily found 14 different occasions that dragongirl has been in this very forum with requests or complaints, and those are just threads started by her, why would someone with so much to ask wish to ignore the people she is seeking out?
