That way you know they are reading what you wrote.

at least..

i think the issue is 'rude' has no set definition.. it's a long line. one end is stuff that 98% of the people would blow off as funny.. or not see a problem... but 2% might be offended at.

Hard to make a post that offends no one on earth.. yet says exactly what it needs to say.. in a manner that everyone can understand.

if every post had to be wrote that way.. I'd stay home and play ball bymyself.

I understand kids read the forum so the outright bad stuff needs to stay away.. but for the most part.. if a mild-strong adult conversation can't take place between 2 ( or more adults ).. someone may be a lil too sensitive to be swimming in the deep end.. so to speak.

Just a different take on life I suppose, we can all rationalize our behavior if we try hard enough and put it off on someone else; "Not my fault if they can't take it" etc., but in the end I try not to intentionally offend anyone or be rude and on the occasion I have, I have apologized.

I can certainly understand "returning fire" so to speak, but as a regular means of discourse I really don't see the point. I think some just enjoy pounding their chests to amuse themselves and impress others.

A couple of PMs I sent simply disappeared into thin air. Could never retrieve them as "sent mail", so I assumed they were never received...by anyone...as far as I know.

I have almost always been given the courtesy of a reply if I sent a PM to another member...probably 95% of the time. HOWEVER, several times I have stepped on the toes of the mods here and they CLAIM they sent me a PM as a warning I was bending the rules and to stop posting a thread asking about something. HOWEVER, 95% of the time THEIR PM's never seemed to arrive. Go figure.

Normally, discussion of moderation policy in the public forums is removed. However, since you have brought this up again for at least the third time in the public forums, I'm going to reply in the public forums....

As I have explained to you several times each and every time you bring this up, and when you make this same comment repeatedly.... and by now I am 100% sure your understand it... You ARE being sent the messages but because of the choices that YOU MADE you do not recieve the messages. You know how to resolve it and YOU CHOOSE NOT TO. The moderators have ZERO control over it. And now I think they are taking offense to you repeatedly telling the world that they are not doing their job, when, in fact, you know they are.

So please stop bad-mouthing the moderators for something that is 100% your choice. :stirthepot:
