Sharpe95th - You make some reasonable 'suggestions' along with a bit of 'reaching', as well. Sure, Karda's initial post could be looked at in a couple of ways, but in the end and in many complaint threads such as this, things get resolved and people 'outed' for their transgressions, be it an isolated incident or common practice.
When Karda or any other mod offers their views/opinions in a particular thread, it is simply that.....their opinion, as is yours, mine and all other members. We can agree to disagree and are able to voice those differences. If every post by Karda or another mod were to be taken 'very personally', I suspect that many more than just yourself would have their hand on the door knob. And just subsequent to that, a whole bunch of 'don't let the door hit you in the azz on your way out' salutations would follow. Just the nature of the beast when such forums entertain such a diverse population of members. That's good.....IMHO.
For example - Karda stated his opinion in post #33 about how he felt providers should approach the contractual part of their transactions with their customers. One word in one sentence seemed less than prudent to me, especially given the majority of reasons/issues that people find themselves embroiled in controversies here in the GBU section.......such as with this particular case. So, in post #34, after feeling compelled to give my thoughts on Karda's one specific sentence , I simply offered my opinion on his suggestion. I expect that Karda didn't knowingly feel or think that the word 'almost' wouldn't really be as conducive to attaining what we all hope to achieve here at BF's............just an oversight on his part..........IMHO. No harm, no foul, just a likely oversight or written exactly as intended. Either way, as is to be expected, we move on and allow our opinions the opportunity to be heard.
In post #73, Karda ends that post with a bolded/highlighted, 'no more 'fixing' posts or other such juvenile behavior'. Obviously, the only bolded/highlighted statement in his post was aimed directly at me, as I had previously 'fixed' a post, which I didn't know that I wasn't allowed to do and had seen done many, many times before, without any obvious administrative involvement. That was my bad and I told Karda that when he pm'd me informing me of my transgression. I told him I appreciated the heads-up and that was that.
The point being (and I don't drink coffee), if I, we, all of us were to take things written in these posts so personally, whether from other members or the mods, I would likely have been inclined to believe and feel that Karda had silently harbored a bit of a grudge/contempt for me having given my opinion of just the one word, 'almost', in his post #33 and in essence, somehow may have believed that I had somehow disrespected him, found fault with his post/choices of words, impinged his authority, reputation.....whatever. I gave a clear explanation in the very next post, #34, as to exactly why I differed with just that one word, 'almost', and as should be expected, I forgot about it and I moved on, as I would expect anyone to do.
I believe that Karda was just informing others that 'fixing' other members posts was not allowed so as to head off any more forum violations and certainly not a retaliatory shot at me as might be the case if I took such comments personally. I'm not sure that the 'and other such juvenile behavior' was really necessary as just a very simple and courteous, 'no more fixing posts' would surely have sufficed, especially when he had already earlier pm'd me concerning my 'misstep', but then again, knowing that most members and especially the mods wouldn't likely be expected to resort to such tactics or to use the seemingly acceptable description, juvenile behavior, I'm sure that I wasn't being targeted or singled out for any possible reason other than my one, small, pretty insignificant, 'fixing'.....misstep.
It all boils down to us choosing to believe that it's either raining or that you're peeing on my leg..................
The decision that we all inevitably have to make is whether we toss or wash those pants....ala....personally vs not so much...respectively.
