Absolutely! As long as the moderators follow the rules that they were empowered to enforce-- whether on this forum or any other area in GC. However.. they are clearly violating the terms of services with their personal attacks and this very public lynching.
You, a moderator, made the comment on another thread , "Sorry, but hateful isn't a violation of the TOS. If it were, then I think that GC would be a very empty place. " Can you please explain what you meant by this?
A few other random comments:
"Growing a thicker spine" means to stop being passive and stand up for what you believe in. I'm curious as to why the poster would say that since I've repeatedly stood up on this subject. Does the poster consider me passive because I have not resorted to personal attacks?
Or...does the poster mean to say, "Grow a thicker SKIN?" If this is the case, does she feel I should grow a "thinner spine" and just take the personal attacks?
The same poster also made this comment earlier in the thread: " If anyone ever thinks poorly of my Fraternity because of something I might have said, well...you know where they can go."
A question for all... Do we not represent our GLOs at all times? Do we not live our ritual and the ideals at all time? Or is it something we pull out only when it's convenient?
Does banding together to attack people represent the ideals of your organization? Would national headquarters be proud to read your posts?
Another poster made the comment: "Attacking people. Sister, please. Let me provide a definition of ad hominem (i.e., an ad hominem attack): attacking an opponent’s motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain. I don't see anywhere in this thread..."
Perhaps she missed the comment regarding "growing a thicker spine." Is that not an attack on a person's "character?"
And... how about this one: "This is not about the AI Thread - its about you being the most attention starved person on GC."
Isn't "attention starved" an attack on a person's character?
As an aside, I've also noted that nobody has yet to answer my questions in which I posted earlier. Perhaps someone here would like to tackle them?
And they are:
"As I understand it, John appoints moderators. If he "isn't around much," then what is accomplished by this public lynching? Isn't he the one who appoints moderators? Do you not agree that taking any complaints directly and privately to John would have accomplished more?"
