it amazes me. 6 years ago we banned people for next to no reason whatsoever. there were no infractions, PMed warnings from mods, no mod thread where the moderators painfully deliberated whether or not a member deserved a ban, or a rigid set of criteria to determine what constituted a ban worthy offense. we just did it, and guess what? none of the members complained. people just went about their business and talked about music... about MUSIC. is that not a revolutionary concept.

I will tell you that the mods on third forum painstakingly deliberate over whether or both to ban someone. it's almost comical, yet any time anyone gets banned there's a guaranteed to be a protest.

we're not power hungry totalitarians. this is a music forum. whoever goes megalomaniacal over being a moderator on a music forum needs to get a little more fresh air, and I guarantee you none of us are like that, except me, maybe.

moral of the story: this isn't kindergarten where our job is to guide and mold you into the fine outstanding citizens in hopes that one day you'll fill us with a sense of pride over what a well-mannered homo sapien you are. No, our job is to moderate a music forum, which includes banning people who have clearly shown that they don't know how to play nicely with others, which, by the way, is something everyone should have learned in kindergarten.

I have no sympathy for Dirty, and I would gladly ban him again, if he acts the same way when and if he comes back.

I completely agree with you. You have to understand, each mod has a different idea of what is appropriate to tell and what isn't. A certain level of discretion is preferred just because it might actually be embarrassing to the person who was banned. I'm not saying this is the case with Dirty, but we want to at least try to be consistent. Obviously, that is harder than it sounds.



I think that's what we were going for initially. I even think this would have worked if it wasn't someone with a reputation like Dirty. Oh well, it happened.

I'm going to take a little time out from posting in this this love-fest. Why? Because stupid people piss me off. And when I get pissed off, I sometimes tell people off (which is frowned upon if you're not a mod or a kiss ass to a mod). Have a good day guys.

Infractions used to be gauged as a percentage, not points. I guess 4 points could be equated to 40%. 40% is an F, so they fail. I'm used to getting A+'s.

On a ten point scale, I'm sure.

I'm not handing out bullshit infractions. I gave you an infraction for breaking a rule that I'm sure you're well aware of since, as you're keen on pointing out, you've been "a member longer than most" and you've been infracted several times for breaking the same rule repeatedly over the years.

Agreed.

Like I said, oojay, I had nothing against you. You are quickly starting to come off as a drama queen, though. What exactly are you trying to accomplish by keeping this going?

I don't back down from am argument when I am right. I use facts and knowledge as a basis for my arguments. If some mods want to get their rocks off by banning or infracting me, then go for it.

So going off on a complete tangent trying to make out like I'm only on MB to post in this thread and acting as if why I'm here is relevant to whether what I'm saying is the truth or not, was in some way based on "Facts and knowledge"? I once again point the thread to the ad hominem fallacy. That there is a fact you need to be aware of.

And we get it, you know the term "ad hominem." You don't have to use it in every post.

Ironically enough, ad hominem is exactly what the entirety of that post was, meaning your argument is fallacious.

1 - Whether someone was talking to me directly does not preclude me from voicing an opinion or from making reference to a past action of your own that contradicts the assertion you were making regarding the nature of your arguments and their supposed roots in fact and knowledge.

2 - I've used it in 3 posts. Each time it was logically relevant. Your refusal to address the point only ensures I will continue to press you on the point until you admit your error and subsequently modify your statements or cease to argue the point.

Talking about using facts and knowledge in my arguments in no way implies that others don't do so as well. It was simply a declarative statement. STOP BEING PARANOID.
