Mods, I wish you'd stop creating and contributing to threads that mock members' contributions. If someone isn't being playful with you, then your "play" with them isn't play, especially since you are in a position of power here.

This thread isn't reciprocal playful interaction. This means moderators are simply using your Internet time to make people who have done nothing wrong (other than join MusicBanter) feel uncomfortable by putting them and their contributions down.

Whiskey, I agree with zevokes: it is good not to take it personally when people go out of their way to mock someone. The reason is that whenever people make fun of you, it is due to their *own* issues and problems, and not yours.
You're generalizing. I think I only made that one post in this thread and I don't see how it made fun of or bullied Whiskey in any way. Actually, I don't recall a time when I have ever deliberately made fun of another member during my time on this forum. I'm a nice person, but if you find posts from me that are rude or inappropriate, I invite you to link me to them through a PM.

I've barely been involved in this thread and haven't had much interaction with Whiskey in other sections of the forum, but you still feel the need to call out every moderator because they might have behaved badly. I hate to say that you're making a mountain out of a molehill here. Your post basically screams "backseat moderating".
