On the other hand, if the complaining party is himself a moderator, I guess other mods would automatically vote for an infraction, sight unseen and circumstances unknown, even.

It isn't like the mods all get together to play poker once a week and will defend each other to the death. I believe the mods are sincere about their job here and take it seriously. I don't believe they will take Kicky's word on a subject just because he said it. However, the mods are human and of course their feelings about a person can't help but play a role. So if you are rude and unmanageable, insist on breaking rules, and just generally a jerk - well, really, why would you expect unbiased treatment?

Hopper, you've always been nice to me, and I appreciate that. But you have to admit that your online persona can wear people out. Just saying.

Well, Gal, always nice to hear your viewpoint, ya know? I take it you are tellin me you consider me to be:

1) rude
2) unmanageable
3) a jerk, and
4) a rule breaker

To respond:

1) Mebbe "rude" is in the eye of the beholder, but I seldom insult people, like I see many others doing on a routine basis. Many of these same posters seem to have great support from the mods. Mebbe it just kinda depends on "who" you're being rude to, assumin that you are rude, eh?

2) Not sure in what way I am supposed to be managed, or by whom, but I fess up to this: Most every Babe I ever shacked up probably considered me to be "unmanageable."

3) Me!? A jerk!? Heh, well, there again, I spoze it depends on who you're askin, eh? I do tend to kid around, and I'm sure that in itself offends some people. Did you have sumthin else in mind?

4) Well, if you're a rule-breaker, I guess that's why you get infractions, eh? So I don't see how breaking a "rule," even one that no one knows exists, could create bias. That's the whole point, aint it? I mean look at what happened and see if a rule has been broken, rather than slap out infractions on the basis that the guy is just a "rule-breaker?"

P.S.: There are also at least four things about you that I have always liked and respected:

1) You are honest, sincere, and generally forthright
2) You have a good heart
3) You are not defensive and don't try to play the expert 24/7
4) You have a good sense of humor

If only even half of the posters here were the same....

I wasn't exactly saying you were all of the above, but I can see how you would think that.

And this is why I don't typically say mean things about anyone on here - I can't take the guilt. Although I have to admit I like your P.S. Crap, I feel worse now.

Just to elaborate a little, Gal, in short you are the type of poster I don't clash with. We may agree or disagree, but it's never personal. You may dislike a variety of things about me, or my style, but I would be surprised if you think it's because I attacked you, ridiculed you, or was otherwise "rude" to you (although I realize rudeness can be perceived where none was intended, so...).

It's the pompous know-it-alls who want to insult and ridicule those who disagree with them who usually get my attention. And, of course, they are the very type of insecure fools who will most hate and resent being challenged. Unfortunately there are quite a few of those types here, and I do not for one second question the fact that I have therefore made quite a few "enemies" on this board. This goes beyond the posters you may have a dispute with. Often some who are not directly involved in any way greatly resent that you are disagreeing with their friend. Some of them may be moderators, other than Kicky, I dunno. But the type I'm talkin about never forget any "slight" (translated: "failure to ratifiy and approve of any nonsense they may spout"), and are generally ever-vigilant for any chance to "get even," ya know? As you say, "their feelings about a person can't help but play a role."

Not you, Bum. You insult and ridicule all the time, of course, but it aint nuthin nobuddy pays no attention to, really. You don't ever get into any substantive debates. Your contrived cockiness and general bluster is just part of the humor round this here joint.

That said, I know you have taken on the role of my main arch-rival and profess your hatred of me 24/7. In that sense, I guess you're one of my "enemies.

Obviously he's talking about me, at least in part. As I am one of the possessors of the Magic Brow, Hopper knows my arguments will be correct over 96% of the time, and he just can't stand the fact that I know it, too.

You know what, Write4u, I think at least half of your stats are probably wrong.
