Still no answer about "saving the thread" and just what that meant.
It is what it is, decisions have been made. I think there was unnecessary escalation there.
I'm not here to argue, that's how I see it.
If I were a mod or admin, I would have addressed the posters concerns before acting so harshly. But I am not those, and don't know the training they gave, if any.
I also think that when CashFlow says "Oh shut the fukk up" and it's immediately followed by Nasher saying "back at you slick" with a laughing guy that it's hard to say there was a ton of disrespect there. If there was, it certainly didn't land with Nashers response. Then a third party comes in and decides who is disrespected and who isn't withouth the initial parties even being asked.
Again, I'm not going to argue, just showing how I saw it.
But I will take a stand in one spot, because it pisses me off.
This nonsense needs to stop, please...
Show some respect yourself.
You actually doubled down on this concept too.
None of us were disrespected and that's just a foolish take on the situation.
I just took a week off, for a few reasons, and routinely take time off around the turn of the year. I guess I disrespected everyone.
I guess that's forum eitquette, I missed that class.
But that little sentence I quoted is, to me, the single most disrespectful thing I've read at SBR in a long time. I'm not going to hold it against you because you clearly do not know the situation. After all, how could you?
You should still apologize, it's wrong to say, an unwarranted attitude, and I think you know it. Maybe you don't, but I do, and you should at least think about it, and why I might be so vocal with this issue. I'm listening to you, I see you rushing to a mod's defense, even if I think you may have jumped the gun. But I'm still listening, and trying to see all the viewpoints. I hope it goes both ways.
As someone who does have respect for all parties involved, this whole situation seems so off. It just doesn't sit well with me.
Nasher says "blame the white guy" and then laughs about it. I know it's all over now, but I don't think it's funny.
As posters, we can't even learn a lesson in expected behaviour here, because there may not be one. I get the part about abusing mods, but I don't see how it applies here, or, at least, I think it's being used very loosely.
One mod is laughing, while the other is clearly not. Which one was abused? I'm the first to say the mods are posters too, I just wish the switching of hats is done with a little more tact.
Shit, I don't even know if this post will be considered running a bus over a mod, or as a back stabbing disrespectful post. It shouldn't be, I post this as conversation, about an incident, not an argument or fight.
But I don't know. I really don't. Is that the disposition posters should be in?
Ok, I've said my piece/peace and that's that. Outside of answering a specific question, I don't plan to revisit this topic in this thread or anywhere. I don't plan too, but I really do draw the line at the whole ghosting the thread and disrespecting accusation. It's not about me, and any lack of communication I've done personally, God knows I'm guilty of it, it's about knowing the situation specifically and I see it as totally uncalled for.
We all have things going on outside of the Forum,, that should always be respected, but even more so when our health is at stake.
