And I noticed that in the Hogs thread, when posts were moved recently, Zuzana posted the reason and where it had been moved to. That same consideration is not given to everyone. Pyro, you just called me weird (for what reason, you don't know me) and you were very offensive to Gurrier as well. Don't know why you can't discuss things like an adult instead of resorting to name calling.
Well, for the first time, posts were moved from Hogs to Guitar and I haven´t been told - nothing wrong about that. The message about moving the thread appeared a month after. I don´t say it´s good to move your posts to different (and impropriate topic) without telling anyone, but calling our mods smartass and that stuff about conspiracy smelled of bullshit to me.
Besides, those posts are deleted, or moved again, but if I remember, it was something along "I went shopping to a mall"...Medusa is Phpbb: Php Bulletin Board. Not PhpC: Php Chat.
I didn´t say you were weird, for that, I don´t know you well enough, true. I said I thought you were weird. I´m sorry if it sounded too offensive - I admit that since english is not my primary language, I may not understand subtle varietes. On the other hand, I hate "political correctness", I think things should be sorted out straight. What I ment by "weird" was, that your posts seemed out of the place to me, that´s all really.
Indeed, I were offensive to Guerrier. Since mods and DzM are too kind. I really hate this anti-mod and anti-DzM mood, which sprung up in late months, especially when it´s not backed up by arguments. For example, your case is different - it´s not up to me to judge if that certain mod made a mistake, but if he did, it´s an argument. But Guerrier´s posts were provocative and unreasonable (and in the past too). Instead of being grateful we´ve got so tolerant janitorial crew, people bitch about it. I find that insulting too, towards DzM, Zuzana and MacRua.
And now, a philosophical-rhetorical "question". People complain about oppression of freedom here. Look at Euroamerican civilization, where it has been driven by freedom. Is the region good, is it all right? I doubt anyone would think so. The thing is, you don´t need to be completely free to be happy. But once people get freedom, they don´t want to give up.
I believe, if certain people (and I´m indeed not pointing at anyone) were banned, there would be no such problems. But since general banning mood is very tolerant, people start (even non-consciously) misuse that. Don´t tell me, that on most fora, posts like Guerriers would stay on the board. They wouldn´t - they would leave, and their author would quickly follow. If there would be no Guerrier, we wouldn´t be these problems. It smells by SSSR, to remove those, who are not "good", but in SSSR, you often couldn´t leave, and you were killed (it´s not that simple, true, but it´s ment generally). Here, you can leave, it´s not your life, what is threatened, and we´ve got more reasonable leaders than Stalin. And removing people should be discussed here, I believe. Or judged by mods. If mods are idiots, power-oriented maniacs, people won´t stay here - so people, who don´t like it here, go elsewhere, make new forum and enjoy it! Besides, part of people posts almost exclusively in Speakers Corner, which should be, logically, periphery of Medusa.
It´s the same with chilren - if they give them too much freedom and don´t show them the path (at least at the beginning), unless they´re true angels (Clash Cadillac's children sound as such), they won´t enjoy it, and when you try to nurture them after that, it will be much more difficult.
Besides, I don´t remember myself calling you by your name (which I don´t know).
And to matter of discussing stuff as adults - I´m afraid our definiton of adulthood is not the same. If my posts are moved, I´d consider adult to write about it in gentle way (we all make mistakes), or PM DzM or something like that. I´m afraid your post was at the opposite end of adulthood.
