UPDATES TO THE RULES . . . PLEASE READ!

[_Tator]

Well, I have been mocked and bashed in the terrestial forum. Perhaps you need to school the moderators in what bashing and mocking means. But so far, I see it happening in the terrestial forum and until that stops, the board will slip and slide into possible threats.

Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa why me at work!

I am mocking you which doesn't constitute a threat or a break in the rules.

So test the report function and quit being a cry baby.

Well, I have been mocked and bashed in the terrestial forum.

Do you mean that your words and ideas were mocked and bashed, or you as a person?

Put another way, did someone use the sentence construction, "why me, you are a _____?"

[_Blixa]

Why me you are a piece of light cotton.

The report function works swell, by the way. When you see rules being broken just click the exclamation point at the bottom of the post.

But remember why me, if you do report it that makes you a snitch.

;)

I was going to mock Why Me, too, but then I had to take a number and get in line.

As an answer to why me ("there shall be no bashing or mocking of posters") may be acceptable...

What the heck! Did I understand you correctly? That it is okay to bash and mock?

"To each what he deserves."
I can imagine posters who deserve it. (One can imagine unimaginable things...)


Bashing? The Bible advocates it.

He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes.

Mocking? The Bible endorse it.

25. And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
26. And they took the bullock which was given them, and they dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon, saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered. And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
27. And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must be awaked.

Let me try this again for the potato heads: The mocking and bashing of posters can lead to eventually other types of behavior, ie, threats. It becomes a progression of behavior. That was my point. And this is what happened with this board. If the bashing and mocking were nipped in the beginning, the others behaviors would have a less likely chance of showing themselves.

I have never used the report button here or on MDD. I am no snitch.

These gals are a little before my time. But I am looking forward to the summer with eyes wide open.
