The reasons I will no longer make threads that need help from fellow Jazzfanz posters!

I have to agree with Kicky here. Clutch, you're a fine enough kid but I totally recall how you were going out of your way to push the envelope.

Only if you want to engage in a game in which all things you agree with are put in the box called "context" and all things you don't agree with are put in the box called "character."

That Clutch made several previous comments to safetydan on the same subject matter and was purposely pushing the line on the exact same issue over and over again around that period of time I would call "context." Apparently you would call it "character."

In any event, I don't think you've advanced a case that the decision was invalid on the merits articulated.

Who's engaging in games here? Apparently my definition of board character and thread context wasn't good enough to avoid your semantics battle. Getting into your game of definition alteration as to invalidate/ignore/minimize a point is pretty silly.

I submitted a suggestion. If you disagree with it then you disagree with it. I see no point in purposefully blurring lines to admit a personal bias without specifically doing so. I suggested taking a specific post in context of a specific thread. If that box isn't specific enough for you then nothing is going to be.

Franklin, what you said was "maybe moderators can consider context a little more." Apparently what you meant by that was "consider the overall context as little as possible."

Each moderator probably votes a little differently, but I'll tell you right now that I'm not going to ever pretend every other post by a poster doesn't exist only to consider a specific statement in a vacuum. That seems like a classic way to make bad decisions.

by having a convo with safetydan after he opened the discussion up for discussion? that envelope must not be too stable.

Sorry for trying to learn something. Book burner.

Wait a second... are you really characterizing changing the word "dog" to "dong" and making a gay joke as an effort to open up dialogue?

You've got to be trolling.

I was referring to your "context" of my previous exchanges with mr. dan.

The dong thing was just me being hilarious and a lot of others being no fun homophobes.

Obviously you're on notice that you should refrain from being "hilarious" in the future.

I'm glad we can consider this matter closed and I wish you well in your efforts to restrain yourself from receiving a fifth infraction.

Or defense of biased judgeship, depending on which side of the fence you sit. I guess.

Wasn't defending a stance easy? Man up next time and hold confident in your position. It would have saved a bit of nonsense.

Franklin, what you said was "maybe moderators can consider context a little more." Apparently what you meant by that was "consider the overall context as little as possible."

Apparently? My suggestion was clear. I don't get your motivation for continually attempting to make what I said ambiguous??? I'm going to provide all of it again, in context, and bolding the sections you obviously missed.

I'm going to step in here at the expense of sticking my neck out for back lashings Michael Fay-esque. Unless that thread was altered, I saw nothing in Clutch's post that was meant to be hurtful, bigoted, or intolerant in any way whatsoever. As a personal suggestion that I'm sure doesn't mean much, and probably shouldn't based on my caustic temperament, maybe moderators can consider context a little more and character or board history a little less. Clutch made a wise crack that fit well into the context of that thread. This was an example of the character of this forum which makes it exceptional. I would hate to see the character be derailed by PC driven moderating policies, or by minority agenda just to kowtow to a few.

I want to be clear that I highly respect the moderating practices here, and find them highly superior, tediously so, to other forums I've frequented and generally found intolerant, lazy, etc. (you pick the mold). With that said, I also think the recent inundation of complaints may be a sign that things are getting out of hand. Again, I'm expressing this sincerely and with respect.

There's no ambiguity. I suggested considering context within the thread more than context outside of the thread. Is there a thorough enough Windex cleaning that you can see out of the glass house now?

You're such a silly goose.

Oh, how incredibly convenient. Incredibly.

Well, you know, I don't have the luxury of living in my mother's basement. I have a job, a wife, and kids. While at work, I actually work. I don't have a computer at work. I don't have internet on my phone. When I'm home with my wife and kids, I choose to give them the attention they deserve. That's why I take the time in the morning to get on the interwebz.
One day you'll hit puberty and realize there are other things in life.
