    I think Kay has the right approach. Everyone just needs to chill out. David's language could be interpreted more harshly than it was intended, but the same could be said for the vast majority of Glenn's posts. The trolling is unnecessary and adds nothing to the board. Holding yourself up as some sort of pariah is also not going to win you any brownie points. What happened, happened. The board needs to generally chill out and stick to useful content on soft vinyl toys for a while. Put aside whatever beefs you guys think exist and just use it for the purpose it is intended for. If anyone wants to get in flame wars, stir pots, or get their rocks off from posting inane shit to provoke reaction, there are plenty of other places in the world to do that; and I would suggest doing so in real life, and seeing where the consequences get you.

    The bias in this post does read strongly. Going on about Glenn being a troll rather than answering Moog’s call for egalitarianism. Glenn’s just baiting you and you always fall for it, do you guys literally not have friends in real life who stir the pot? If they do annoy you, do you summarise their actions and provide warnings etc? Sounds like a lot of fun :roll: If you aren’t a fan of his style just ignore him like your garden variety pest. I’m not saying this as direct defense of his actions - more so know your enemy and avoid their traps.

    I know toothaction was attempting banter with the whole STFU thing but once Glenn triggered him he doubled down. I can’t agree with that either.

    Nicely brushed under the carpet there. OK, fine - message understood. The people responsible for moderating language and behaviour can use whatever personal and demeaning language they damn well please with no comeback. Ordinary members will be reprimanded if they attempt the same.

    Gotcha. I will say no more on the subject :thumbsup:

    The two of you should just activate the ignore function for each other and see how that goes for a little while.

    I used the ignore function for a user that was bothering me and it definitely improved my daily experience here.

    (In case you're reading this and wondering if it's you that I put on ignore: yes, it's you.)

    That's a big assumption. It didn't read like that to me at all. Came across angry. But, apparently mods can say whatever they please, so the subject is moot.

    Seems like one persons light hearted jibes are another’s ‘trolling’ (a term that seems all too easily thrown out there these days) . . . No one fuckin’ died, why worry!

    Pretty sure it’s in the rules (written or unwritten) that you should have a thick skin when posting. All just part of the game!

    Moderators difusing the situation rather than antagonising it should be a given!

    Meh, I'll cop to being more in the mind of Walter Sobchak's mates giving shit to mates than Angry Abusive Dad mode, but that doesn't mean that shutting his trap wasn't my intention. Bias is one thing, but, on balance, my inbox wouldn't have regularly been filled on the subject of people's reactions to certain boardies' antics if there weren't perceptible patterns in play. Say what you will, but live-and-let-live leaves a lot of people with a bad taste in their mouth, and part of my job here is to look out for their interests as well as those that think pile-ons are the bee's knees. STFU knows no race, creed or sexual preference, and places no judgement on mental facilities, it's merely preferable, in some cases, to yet another thread lock or swing of the hammer.

    Smash glass houses, as Mr. Ogre once said. Our so-called target isn't innocent, and neither am I.

    @skaldavsatanssol Not sure how you are reading into what I posted, but please don't assign things to me I did not say. In fact my post was exactly as you suggested, coming at this from a point of equality and suggesting both parties just relax. Your point on friends however, is not well made, as this place exists as a community. You can choose to hang out whoever you want in your personal time, but our role here exists to maintain civility (of a sort) for everyone; that is precisely the egalitarianism you have asked for.

    @The Moog No one is above the rules here, mods included. We've all made mistakes the past, hey were all [mostly] human, but I've owned up to any on my part. As I said, I fully agree David's post could be taken harshly, and don't agree that it should go without noting. I am not suggesting anything be wiped away either. My message was just a recommendation of letting everyone cool off, and accept that what was said was said, we aren't going to sanitise it or pretend it didn't.

    ^This,

    ^ and this, are precisely the same, as far as I am concerned. And arguments which apply directly in this situation.

    People should have a thick skin here - especially those who admittedly throw shade, and mods are here to defuse situations, which I believe was ultimately the original intent, as well as certainly mine now.

    Sorry to say, but it was a lot more entertaining on this board before 'defuse situations' became such a big deal. It's still a very cool and interesting/useful board, don't get me wrong, but mods stepping in at the drop of a hat every time it gets even slightly tense spoils the fun.

    It should be other members telling Glen or some uppity N00b to 'shut the fuck up', not a moderator.

    Where's the sport in that? Where's the intellectual banter? :lol:

    Based on election results, I believe we have voted that out.

    Ha! You're not fucking kidding, sad to say.

    But seriously, people being civil and respecting each other on the internet? Being all polite and shit? Whatever next, the world's gone mad.

    Seriously, what's wrong with working towards making Skullbrain where it's the exception, not the rule?

    I think you better ask that question of the artists, dancers and writer/ poets on this board. I'm just an old man, i don't understand what you mean sonny.

    all this talk about moderation while we are literally being invaded by penis worms from the sea

    good luck posting about moderation when your hands are filled with seacocks

    My point exactly.

    Glenn is the political dark horse trying to distract us all from the much more pressing issue at hand.

    Do all these real or imagined slights really even matter, when the U.S. mainland is about to be overtaken by penis-shaped worms from the depths of the Pacific????

    Well I never, if that's how you talk to the elderly I'd say you weren't raised right. If I was a young artist, dancer and writer/ poet I bet you wouldn't be so disrespectful. We won a war so your generation could lead a full and healthy life of freedom. Have some respect young man.

    Describing yourself as an artist, dancer and writer/poet isn't acceptable in real life and shouldn't be acceptable on here either.

    AGREED. Although nowadays it's even easier to be an artist/writer/poet -
