Jersey and Stak are not "chronic offenders." Neither is Aristotle Smith. I have no idea why you'd bring up this observation in a thread about their concerns with moderation.
I didn't take it as Scottie implying that Jersey Girl or Stak were chronic offenders. Maybe just a little overreach with the word always, but I think Scottie is a little less subtle than that.

Please keep in mind that I have the ability to become a chronic offender should the need arise. I once engaged in personal attack on a poster for a solid year and on a daily basis.
I can resurrect that part of my personality should there ever be a need for it.

No.
The forum “rules” are so pliable that there is a virtual cornucopia of reasonable interpretations that result from it. It’s aggravating to posters because there doesn’t seem to be any consistency on what is acceptable and not acceptable on any given forum. The end result is similar to roulette, we don’t know what side of the line a post is on, because it all depends on who gets to it first.
None of this has anything to do with mod ability per say, and everything to do with Shade’s playground rules of thinking the “baddest” words start with either an F or an S.

Stak, you have to wait until June for the annual bitchfest here about the rules. Please, do not force us into an off-season round of it. Sox.

Aristotle Smith wrote:...but the moderation here is starting to get biased. Liz can use the word [word deleted to prevent aspie interference] all she wants. Yet when I use the word, it goes straight to telestial. By the way, this is the third time that something like this has happened to me.
And he’s right, but I’m not sure it’s a case of mod bias, but a case of inconsistency. [SNIP!] What do you guys think? Is AS totally wrong? Is it bias? Or just inconsistency with enforcement?
Moderators always use red text, never blue text. So Aristotle Smith himself wrote that, not a moderator.
Sleep tight.
