Trolling.

That's the point. It's not like one single thing that is done by them is a bad thing...it's the combination of everything. It's an axe slowly chipping away at everyone's morale here...and overall, it DOES hurt us...some individuals, AND the overall group. As a mod I would think that you could have a better group mentality, instead of worrying about what bothers you as an individual. Just because something doesn't personally irritate you doesn't make other people's opposite feelings invalid.


Take your own advice for once. Just because everything I say gets you all butthurt doesn't mean it bothers everyone.
 
interesting enough as it might seem, but aside from one or two instances, I have not had a run in with any of them...

I think personally it's my responsibility to measure my responses and try to understand that we are all different, and all have strong personalities.

And in my humble opinion, I think we should all let by-gones be by-gones and let go of the past.

That's just one mans opinion.:)

frankly, I do enjoy all of the radically different approaches we all take to this place. Bottom line, I feel like I should try and set the bar high for myself, what anyone else does is their business, as long as it doesn't hurt another member.

Now gimme a kiss:D

Excellent post sir :clap

And that's what I'm trying to do myself. And a few people here have noticed this and have expressed their appreciation. And to those cool dudes, I thank you :)

I think you take me way out of context, because if you read what I posted, that is a "group" mentality, meaning if you want peace....Promote it yourself, don't expect someone else to always have to lay down the axe;)

And I do care about this forum and its members, I care about the growth of this forum, but we are MODS.....Not hurt feelings police, and to be quite honest, I have seen a whole lot of attacks on both sides of this argument, I see no real innocents. Strictly from the standpoint of nobody being able to walk away and not have to have the last word.

I anyone cannot discern my attempts to calm this down and bring us all back to a neutral place than no attention has been paid, you might notice I normally keep a distance from the drama, that is what a mod is supposed to do, fix a problem, not fuel it or take sides.

That is a "group" mentality.

I disagree, nothing against you personally at all Evan but that is just the way I feel. I agree that you shouldn't always have to be the "hurt feelings police", but I have also been around here for a long time, and I remember how otz was 2 and a half years ago...this is not the forum that I used to post on, and I think a lot of people who have been here for a long time would say the same thing. The overall attitude of people has changed.
Didn't mean to take you out of context, and I don't really think I did, I think you just didn't clarify well and left yourself open for that...but whatever. I am trying to promote peace here. I know I'm not the perfect role model for that, but I miss the old OTz and I would like to see change around here.
