    Seriously guys, it's getting ridiculous. I have stepped back from the daily "policing" of threads to let @Strenuus and @PtldPlatypus handle things. They have done a great job but some of you are really pushing things.

    It's got to stop.

    I am going to continue banning people from individual threads if I go into the logs and see staff having to edit multiple posts of yours.

    I love all of you but everyone needs to chill the fuck out.

    Maybe if certain posters weren't here simply to instigate arguments and ish.

    I instigate arguments and debates all the time. Not against the rules.

    He said insults, not compliments.

    BTW, a little TMI, but doggystyle is my favorite position.

    Just sayin'...

    Passive aggressive comments are the norm around here these days. . Its bait material. trolling. Maybe not insulting, but definitely a downer to the forum.

    I agree but there is no way to moderate passive aggressive comments. Too much of a gray area and judgement call by staff.

    Less moderation is best.

    To me the baiting and mocking of fellow posters is much worse than the personal insults. Personal insults don't bother me one bit. And, if they did, they are easy for the mods to spot and edit/delete.

    It's the baiting and mocking that are actually bringing the forum down. Disagree all you want (it would be a pretty boring forum is we all agreed on everything), but let everyone else have their say, too. Fuck, in the grand scheme of things, if we're keeping score, half the people who have disagreed with me have probably been right a least half of the time.

    Dude, my sister is 78 years old.

    How about you moderators focus more on getting rid of obvious trolls doing nothing but baiting people, and on deleting inflammatory threads instead of leaving them open for a day.

    That way you can focus less on bitching about the inevitable insults that are a direct result of your failure to moderate the forum effectively. If you want to keep defending trolls because they haven't said anything that falls under your arbitrary definition of "personal insult" then shut up and reap what you sow.

    I won hundred percent agree. For whatever reason I am able to laugh Them off with ease.But my weakness is getting baited by the passive aggressive And countering it in fashion. I must elevate my discipline

    It’s gotten worse right? I’d say in the past 18 months or so this place has really gone downhill when it comes to this shit. Back in the day it was PapaG and Mixum and that’s about it who used to steady attack people. Now I swear it’s half this place that does it.
