"New Rules?"
Okay, after reading PM_Mama's post in the 40 Acres thread, as well as the many new UF_Pike threads...
I think that we have blown the name thing way out of proportion. PM_Mama, just because we respond directly to your posts doesn't mean we are insulting you. You have said yourself you are prejudiced. Sorry if it hurts to hear someone else repeat it.
As far as INSULTS, I think that crosses the line. But that is up to the person being insulted. In my opinion though, if you feel that another member has directly insulted you with no provocation, I think it would be better to dialogue with that person (if possible, not saying all members are so receptive), than to get the post deleted. I think going to a mod should be the last resort.
We have all had issues with the moderation of this forum at some point (myself included), and I repeatedly voiced my displeasure with what I perceived to be selective deletion and/or editting of threads. However, recently I think that there has been some hyper-sensitivity on the parts of some members that is causing the mods to look bad here. If you are gonna insult someone be prepared for the consequences. On the other hand if you post something controversial, don't be surprised or offended when people react strongly. Does that make sense?
