.....As to what constitutes a “personal attack and a troll.”
And I’m thinking the Staff or the Avilas need to clear this one up, NOT the two different Mods involved.
Of course, the Staff has given the Mods absolute discretion to lock threads for any reason. That’s as it should be. But I just had a thread locked, a Mod claiming it was a “personal attack and a troll.” If he had just locked the thread and said nothing, fine. But his “reason” is what concerns me.
Without mentioning any names, let’s compare what’s been said against me vs. what I’ve said against others.
[b]One poster said the following against me (and others):[/b]
He’s called me an anti-Semite, a Jew hater, called me sympathetic to Nazis, soft on terrorism, and pro suicide bombers. But all this doesn’t constitute a personal attack or a troll. At least no one edited his posts, or locked his threads when it happened.
Further, he’s associated me with Hitler, Yasser Arafat, bin Laden, and a few other murderers whose names I can’t pronounce. But all this doesn’t constitute a personal attack or a troll. At least no one edited his posts, or locked his threads when it happened.
Lastly, he said I was HOPING for another Sept. 11 tragedy. He actually said (typed) that . What could be aMORE offensive “personal attack” a statement to ANY American? But all this doesn’t constitute a personal attack or a troll. At least no one edited his posts, or locked his threads when it happened.
[b]What I said against him:[/b]
That he engages in wordsmithing (verifiably true) and I also attacked his profession (not that anyone had a problem with those bashing my profession during the Enron / Andersen mess (I bashed my profession also)
And THAT (by me) is considered a “personal attack and trolling”
Leading me to believe “personal attacks and trolling” have to do with who does it.
Some clarification would be appreciated. Or go ahead and lock this thread too. Clearly, its a “personal attack.”
