Did you know "chalice" is a swear word in French Quebec?
As is "tabernacle".

Innocent words in English.

Yup. Most french swear words are related to religion.

Well saying Jesus' name is used as a swear word in english and that's pretty religious. Which always confused me. Last time I checked saying Buddha!, or some such would get you looked at like a nutcase, but Christian blasphemy is not even edited on basic cable anymore. Having grown up in Ottawa, I am used to french swears as well, but I don't think the French have an exclusive on religious swears.

Well I sent a PM to cricket on what I considered inconsitent behavior by mods in a post i made. Cricket replied quickly with clear information and although not exactly telling me what was wrong with my deleted posts (well they are deleted, kind of hard to read) was very professional. Just wanted to post a Thanks to Cricket

Elementary? Dang, I was aiming for preschool. There goes all those method acting lessons.

I know it was lighthouse because when I pm'ed him, he said he did.

I don't expect Statesman to discipline Lighthouse, I just want to know what if any recourse we have when we feel Lighthouse has treated us unfairly. Is there a mechanism in place?

Also if you view my last post, you will I was illustrating a point. They aren't getting pulled when they should and ones that shouldn't be are.

Fairness.

I am really not trying to get lighthouse to hate me, I am pointing out inconsistency through example. Would you prefer interpretative dance?

Oh No! I have teen angst? Doctor please tell me, what can be done? For the love of Mod, am I going to live (sniff, sniff)

That for those of you unfamiliar with sarcasm or an inablity to determine that I AM KIDDING, was not to be taken seriously.

Yes I made fun of his name. It's called a rant. Dennis Miller made a lot of money from those. And for the record I know what a Pyrrhic victory is.

Here's what I know. I intentionally made about 2 posts that were COMPLETELY over the top and INTENTIONALLY crossed the line. I can see they have not be modsmacked even though I performed the most heinous of forum acts... PERSONAL ATTACKS! (dun dun, DUN - dramatic music effect) I fully expect ed to get them deleted.

Here's what I don't know. Why haven't they been deleted? It is a clear violation and considering Lighthouses previous deletions of my posts, I can only expect them to be. That is my point. Consistency. If I get someone flaming me, and I reply in a calm decent manner, explaining clearly my position with facts to back it up, why are my posts getting deleted, and the flamer's not? Why can I not edit or delete my OP that caused the ruckus in the first place. You can't win, you can't play to a draw, you can't even quit the game. You must lose. I launch into a tirade against the forum admin, in his house as it were.. and yet I am not smacked?

I don't even expect Lighthouse, who I am sure is very busy, to send a note detailing the reasons for the deletion of posts every time he deletes. What I do expect is when someone bothers to PM him asking WHY they were deleted to get an honest answer.

I can only assume my above posts where I fired a broadside, will soon be deleted. I am guessing Lighthouse is busy this morning or just isn't in yet. I am not going to PM him because I KNOW WHY they would be deleted. When I don't I want to be able to find out what line I crossed. Maybe I was being sarcastic in a post, and due to the limitations of type, it did not come across accurately. Then let me defend myself. Despite what you may think, I actually do respect the difficulty of Lighthouse and the other moderators jobs. I have not had more than 1 line of communication with Lighthouse, but I am sure he is a very nice person, and has a lovely singing voice. He probably helps old ladies cross the street, and always lets others in during heavy traffic. My problem is not personal.

Give reasons (honest ones), be consistent, be fair.

Is that unreasonable?

okay noob alert! what the heck is IBTL? I am going to cool down an stop posting for at least the night.

I have no problem with mods doing there job. I really don't. I just am really annoyed when it is not consistent.

Sorry if i have gotten anyone ticked. I really do enjoy the forums and find them really helpful in my enjoyment of the game. It just leaves a bad taste. Thanks for letting me at least blow off steam

Your right it won't. But I have decided since I had MULTIPLE posts deleted without an actual explanation, and was not able to defend myself against flame posts, or EVEN DELETE the post that caused the flames, I figure I can change his moniker in a fun fashion. I have had my ID lampooned, I didn't sulk about it. And I don't want any favours. I want even handed and judicial use of the modsmack. If he nails me for crossing a line. Fine. No prob. But nail EVERYONE that crosses that line, and for Mod's sake (like that joke?, little play on the ol' power trip) TELL PEOPLE WHAT THEY DID WRONG!!! I don't mean some namby pamby BS answer, I mean an honest one.

So yeah LIGHTBEER can expect to not get a Christmas card from me.

Well that is what I decided to do. I am PM'ing Statesman about Lightbright and hopefully he will either lay off the delete button a little, or hopefully actually apply it fairly and with some reasons given. I know this post will likely be deleted by morning. He has a personal hate-on for me so I think his beeper goes off everytime I post so he can delete them. Think CuppaJo will come back and replace him?

And if you really are nice, you will quote this so it will live on after his perfecttommy purge in the morning!

Bitter? nah, just figure why should I be polite to someone that won't even give me the courtesy of telling me what I did wrong

Wow someone is really touchy! ALL my posts on this have been deleted. I guess criticism of Lighthouse is also forbidden. I would love to know what I keep saying that they don't like, I would PM lighthouse again, but I don't feel like sending a message that will just be ignored anyway

Is Ice/Ice Blaster like Ice/Ice Baby? Vanilla ice the AT.... makes you want to be a villian...
