James R's Independent Review Process

[James R]

Gustav:

It was not clear to me that you were insulting somebody else on the internet and not another member of sciforums.

To avoid such misunderstandings in the future, I suggest that, in general, you avoid insulting other people. It's probably good advice for life, too.

I have reversed your infraction in this instance.

 

[Kittamaru]

you will withdraw your nomination
thanks




yeah
you say that the owners can turn sci into a kiddie porn site if they wish
good to know, sherlock
an novel and intensely thought provoking point you raise there

Well, technically yes - though they would wind up violating laws in multiple countries, it would still be their choice (and as such, they would have to live with the consequences of such an action). The point still stands, though, that by registering on and using these forums you agree to abide by the rules set by the owners and staff. It's really no different than much of the worlds businesses to be honest - just here you don't pay for the "service" of having a place for discussion.

 

[Gustav]

in the past two years i had received 30 infractions.
11 of them have been reversed

make that 12 infractions reversed.

please stop the persecution and witchhunt
it is unsightly, crass and eminently unfair

/saddened

Your ascetic style leaves too much room for interpretation, thus relying too heavily on others' goodwill, to still allow for friction-free communication between yourself and many posters here at Sciforums.

do you still maintain that?
my writing style can be exploited by evil, murderous and unapolegetic mods bent on eradicating my presence here?

Yes.

And make that -

"Gustav's writing style can be exploited by evil, murderous and unapolegetic people anywhere bent on eradicating his presence."

 

[Enmos]

my writing style can be exploited by evil, murderous and unapolegetic mods bent on eradicating my presence here?

As well as by yourself. Insulting people then claiming later that you mean it in a different way. I'm not saying that's what you did, mind you.

 

[Gustav]

nevertheless, you put the "gustav is dishonest" meme out there.
what a horrible and antagonistic mod you are for stirring up the pot
for trolling!

/horrified

/horrified

Err.. no, I was not. Didn't you read that last part?
I was just pointing out that it may very well be in your own interest to start adopting a writing style that is a little bit more apprehensible.

 

[wynn]

nevertheless, you put the "gustav is dishonest" meme out there.

Sweetie, perhaps you should poll the members of this forum on what they think of you.

 

[Gustav]

enmos

i see
what in particular was not "apprehensible" about the infracted post?
the divider? the linked "retard"?

To avoid such misunderstandings in the future

i understand
i am to make allowances for general stupidity, mental retardation and prejudice
got it

 

[Gustav]

i'll start with you
well?

 

[Enmos]

The fact that it was not clearly addressed to anyone else makes it look like you were still addressing the same person.

You could have written, for example: "Cain, you incompetent little retard". Then there would have been no question as to who you meant to address.

 

[Gustav]

i vote to ban enmos off the internets

Whence the hostility?

 

[wynn]

Yes.



Seriously. One makes mistakes, and many other people make up for them. So one should also be generous to make up for the mistakes of others.

You sometimes tread the thin line of little or no generosity, especially in these SFOG threads.
And while it is possible to convincingly argue for such a stance, it is not a community-building stance.

 

[wynn]

i'll start with you
well?

Make a poll.

 

[Gustav]

Whence the hostility?

easy enough
you are a cain

 

[Enmos]

easy enough
you are a cain

See, that is reason enough for me to ban you. Not a very smart move, my friend.
I think you may have bigger problems than your writing style.

 

[Gustav]

Make a poll.

stop prevaricating
i am only interested in your opinion

/blush

 

[Gustav]

See, that is reason enough for me to ban you. Not a very smart move, my friend.

indeed
that was your intent all along right by implying dishonesty
to troll and escalate tensions

well
hit the ban button, you needy little troll

 

[Enmos]

That was not my intent at all. If it was you'd be banned by now, wouldn't you?
Also, it seems you may have some sort of a reading disability. I wasn't implying anything of the sort.

well
hit the ban button, you needy little troll

But.. don't push me, Gustav.
