Moderators

[hiero2]

And now, for something completely different:

Given that mods are volunteers - I thought this small article might be of mild interest:

Based on this post, I have to ask: What the FU_CK do you know about "adult behaviour?"[sic]

Glad to see I even made it comprehendable for guys like you.

See, it aient hard acting like an a-hole.

For a guy who says he despises Gunderson you sure have some simularities with your arch enemy.

Dont worry, I still think you are okay.

Mod thread here..

[hiero2]

Sh!t, I'll willing to take it Whiskey Tango if I feel like it.

Why not Zebra X-ray?

The truth hurts, I get it.

I would suggest investing in a mirror.

Ahhh, good advice!

You know, the wonderful thing about good advice? Is that we can apply it to ourselves, as well. Elsewise, it's not good advice, eh?

Cheers, Chewie, and good on ya for admitting an alteration in viewpoint! Good man. At least, imo!

Just a thought: You might take your own advice.

Maybe we all could - definitely you included.

I get that the moderators are volunteers and don't get paid for their work. It can be tough and very often thankless job. While I disagree with all the abuse heaped upon them sometimes it is an unfortunate part that goes along with the job. So in general I applaud their efforts and thank them.
What I object to is when a poster enters into a discussion with no other reason except to try to be moderator. They just come off as arrogant and somehow above it all and end up causing yet more discourse. Get off it. It is ok if one who is a regular poster in that thread might try to diffuse a situation where there is a misunderstanding. But that should be all.

Laudable in theory, impossible in practice.

For the most part I certainly agree with you.
I am talking about a specific ongoing discussion in the Dixon Study thread. This should not happen and warnings given.

Ah yes. It seems difficult for some to forgo their former selves.

I agree. It becomes tedious and patronizing, and tends to add significantly, but without value, to the overall word count.

Didn't even need to read the thread to know who it would be. And he's completely out of line and wrong.

A lot of the Clinic's "thinking" is genuine madness, but all the same, a couple of points here...

Trying to start a flame war with another forum is just ***-stirring trolling.

No good ever comes of it. Don't know what your intentions can possibly have been in posting this other than trying to stir trouble.

 

[the sceptic]

Really?

The forum should have mods that dont respect the posters?

Why are you even reading bike returd?

Mods are allowed opinions to. Notice he says "thinking", not posters. Stop just trying to pick fights for no reason.

You must really love bike radar, you read it so much

It took me far too long to realise he's best ignored. Otherwise you are just rewarding his attention-seeking behaviour and he'll keep on doing it.

(Far too long=2 weeks)
