If you don't want people giving their opinions on your flame wars, then stick to text messaging. Or email. Or phone. But if you put it in an open forum, don't get your g-string in a wad when people express their opinions. 12-year old shit like a fake fight belongs on Cougarboard or Cougarguard.

Do you *really* believe that there's some stored up conflict that exists between us? There *is* no us. *We* don't exist. So who do you wanna hit, man? It's not me.

I learned that lesson through years of being a mod on CB, so I understand the position they're in. That's just the way it is, though.

Well I tried to handle this discretely via PM, but given the multiple distortions in your post, I feel compelled to respond publicly in order to set the record straight. As we have said several times, this is a lightly-moderated board. But light moderation does not mean zero moderation. Every now and than we do interject ourselves. Admittedly, this is a subjective process but we use our judgment and try to do our best. As the board admin I get quite a bit of feedback from our users so I like to think that to a certain degree I have my finger on the pulse of things. I am also aware that some of our female members don't particularly enjoy the locker room atmosphere that occasionally prevails here. Given that context, when a poster says something to the effect of "I showed your mother my dick and she likes it", I think that is going well over the line. This is a judgment call I can make with zero reservation. And the fact that you and wuap thought it was hilarious is entirely beside the point. It's juvenile and offensive.

Also, nobody was given a veiled suspension threat. I consider this a lapse in judgment but not a ban-worthy issue. Suspension was never discussed at any point of this episode.
