First let me say that I am glad you have stuck around.
You are one of my favorite people here and at Breaktime. But as you have seen, I am not going to play favorites when it comes to my job, here.
Go ahead, vent.
It isn't just Calvin that has allowed the venting, so far. There are other moderators and administrators here as well. Including myself. We have ALL alowed things to go as far as they have.
But it's time to tone it down now... And start thinking about the future, and letting go of the past.
I take issue not with venting, but with personal attacks and insults.
You can vent without being personally denigrating.
Spin it any way you want, justify it any way you want in your own mind. But calling someone a suck-ass or an ass kisser is simply not acceptable.
And it's not going to be made acceptable by majority concensus.
Think it all you want. But don't say it again, or I'll have to step in again.
I don't need your permission, or anyone else's, to do what I must do, to moderate here. I will do my job.
And if that makes me unpopular, or a nazi, or whatever, in some people's eyes, well I'm sorry. But that will just have to be the way it is.
This place is not sterile. It never will be. Calling it so, doesn't make it so.
In some eyes, apparently either the place has to be a pig stye, or a hospital. There is no in between.
Most of us live in between...
And most of us can disagree without denigration and derision.
Practice namaste.
