I watched all of the parks and rec with sharky. My favorite part was Rumba. Jerry killed him.

I don't think I did so hot on my weight thingy today. Haven't reported in yet. But my legs are absolutely killing me and I had lunch out and some of a brownie because... I dunno I'm sore and I wanted a brownie xD

Yay oil change! I have never done that.

Noah is a very rude man and I do not like him

So today I had a lot of procrastinating to do, so I re-joined my dad's political group (which he has not shown his face on since the last time I told him off, hurrah) and joined a few discussions... Like, even when I'm asking for these people's opinions or even agreeing with them they're still making little quips about how I must be a Democrat (I'm not) or voted for Obama (I didn't) and one guy, when I was agreeing with him started making sheep noises at me.

These people are crazy.

I don't mean the people who report posts just to be a brat, I mean they report a post to get someone else in trouble when they, at least arguably, started it. I recognize that you think Cuch's insult is over the line... Eh, it's all subjective. I'm sure you can recognize that being called a leprechaun is probably really not funny to an Irish guy.

And I know I'm a very likable person.

...I think I looked at a census thread once and didn't know how to respond so I gave up.

It's not uncommon for people to snip at someone and then hit the Report button when they get snipped at back. I didn't want you to think your report was outright ignored; I thought I was being courteous by letting you know that we didn't agree it was a problem, but when you said that you should both be warned I thought that was reasonable and fair, so I did it. If I thought you would find that solution acceptable in the first place, then I would've done it in the first place. As long as we agree on what's good for the goose is good for the gander then I don't see what we're arguing about.

I'm more of a hands-off moderator than you are. It's worked for me for over a decade so far, but if you think EoFF is crumbling under my influence then feel free to bring this issue to the attention to the rest of the staff. My initial reaction was to respect that you're both adults, but I dealt with the situation as you suggestion, on your insistence. You're welcome.

The context matters at least as much to the recipient to a comment as it does to the person who made the comment, as evidenced by your sensitivity to a fat joke.

I did take the time to do my job. I reviewed the situation and determined that a grown man should be able to take it when he dishes it. You disagreed, so I dealt with the situation as per your own suggestion, out of consideration for your feelings. If, based on that, you want to accuse me of failing to be impartial in regards to someone I have no fondness for... I don't know what to tell you. We can't agree on everything, I suppose!

I don't know about Canuck, but I would warn someone for calling someone else a redneck, depending on the context.

And I will tell you with a straight face that I don't think he's gotten an unreasonable amount of leeway. I don't think he's that bad. You're free to disagree with me, but it is how it is.

Leprechaun is an Irish slur, whether you are sensitive to it or not. As you yourself pointed out, insulting members is against forum rules. The degree of the insult is hardly relevant.

As to when he'll be banned... When we agree with you. Right now, we don't.
