It's funny how a term like "blatant honesty" is being cast in a negative light in such a thread as this. (I do understand you're just providing a perspective. I'm also providing one as well)

Further, we have not yet (as far as I'm aware) had a community vote that mods cannot partake in the same general rule-abiding freedoms as the members of this site. In the event that such a thing happens, I will gladly adapt to such a ruling.

As far as a general "lead by example" concept which I think is what you're getting at, you do have a point. If it is more appropriate that I sugar-coat my opinion in a thread specifically designed (by me, btw) to create an environment of total honesty by all, no matter how circle jerk or not, then please officially submit such a request to me or any of the other mods and we'll discuss the implementation of it as necessary.

I felt I was more passive-aggressive than hilarious, but that might have been what you meant anyway. In which case, Wpnfire = most intuitive member.

No no, I believe that title goes to you sir.

Wait, this thread calls for animosity. Yes, you are the most intuitive member...on a good day, 0% of the time. Do better.

Man you still don't for some reason get it. You can't just outright insult people and then cloak it in the excuse that you were "offering your opinion". Take responsibility for what you do, mod or no: you hurt people's feelings here by concentrating on superficial aspects of their personality, and it was a nasty thing to do. I'm all for freedom of expression but you have to draw the line somewhere, and personal insults is where I think it should be drawn.

You can dance around this all you like, but the fact is you were a dick and you have not really apologised to the ladies for your insensitivity, nor do I expect you will, because then that would mean you were admitting you were wrong, something that seems quite alien to you.

And if you can't understand why it's "out of the blue", it's because nobody expects to suddenly be attacked about their appearance --- least of all ladies, least of all two of the most popular ladies here --- without any warning, reason or explanation. That's why. Not sure why you think that's not an appropriate term to use for what you did.

Perhaps you're not aware of the thread you're in. If we need to make an announcement for people such as yourself who are seemingly completely oblivious to the thread's intent, do make a note to myself or another moderator to megaphone it out, what with its creation and intent far surpassing your tenure here. I apologize if this is news to you. That is a failure on our part.

Or... we can just delete the thread in favor of being complete circle jerkers. It's really up to the community. If they all want only content that makes them feel better about themselves and nothing actually honest, then put up a vote for this thread to be removed. I'll be behind whichever decision the community chooses.

Still bull. This thread is, so far as I know, a place to say what you think about people's personalities, since that's the only thing we can judge them on, having never met. I don't believe it was ever intended for petty insults or personal attacks. What you did was reprenhensible, and trying to make out that I don't know what this thread is for, after nearly four years here, is pretty weak. You can't excuse a nasty attack like that by saying "Oh it's SYG". Not as far as I'm concerned. You can keep trying to excuse, justify or rationalise it, but it comes down to pure rudeness and unnecessary personal attacks, which I will never accept are okay.

You or anyone else are perfectly fine to say "Trollheart is a **** writer who always moans about everyone and is like a wet blanket". I may challenge you on it but I won't say you can't say it. But when you say "Trollheart is a specky skinny ****er who looks like a pedo", that's when you cross the line and that's NOT what this thread, AFAIK, is for. And that's when you get in trouble with me. I'm not sure why you cant or refuse to see the clear distinction between the two. Your comment was not constructive or even humourous, it was just being nasty for the sake of being nasty. And you'll notice I'm not the only one who thought so, though you're making out that I was.
