    Nice for you to pretend to speak for the majority. If you're tired of the trolling, be mentally strong enough to ignore it.

    I think some of the most vocally outspoken against banning should step up to the plate and be mods.

    In my defense, I have begged to be a mod for a long time, but Denny just laughed at me.

    Really? I thought begging was the only way? Try bribery.

    Really? We elect mods in the Blazers forum, so it's not really in my control.

    If you want to mod another forum on the site, let me know.

    Nope. Nothing else interests me. Well, maybe baseball, hockey or football?

    See. I think this is extremely funny, and should in no way ever be edited. However, is this allowed? Is it because it's a picture? Is it because he is a mod? Seems like a personal attack. Sly, where are you?

    You see, what Denny forgets is my biggest complaint is the double standard. Which honestly is a lot of peoples complaint. That is why I would be the best mod ever. But I want some one to mod, so make it somewhere people actually are

    It's a bit different. I would assume the majority of people could see the start of playful banter in the exchanges. Sure, it's often a fine line. But most people can tell when you've crossed a line or you're simply pushing it. In the context of the playful banter going back-and-forth, the pic without the words maybe, at most, pushes the line. With the goofy pic, it's pretty clear it's humor. No pic, and maybe adding "whore" or name-calling to the end of the text would probably be over the line, as it probably clouds up the exchange and makes some posters wonder whether it's still playful banter or whether it's starting to get personal.

    You can be moderator of the Sarah Hecht forum. That doesn't interest you?

    Ok, I get it. Two people who have posted for years in a forum and never had an issue can't banter (even though smilies were attached), but someone I have never spoken to before can because the picture.

    Seems reasonable to me. If you can't play by the rules, perhaps you shouldn't be here.

    Would seem to me based on some of his posted content that he suffers from boredom.
