The Pecking Order

(I should have posted this at the beginning. If I had seen a topic like this, I would have asked myself, what’s his agenda?)

I do not want to change any pecking order. I just want to learn the lay of the land. (Thanks all, esp. Toyz.) I have a long journey ahead of me. This is my mountain:

(Gotta love a Philippa Gregory fan. Gonna have to lose 30 lbs.)

Me?!?! I'm the peacemaker. Never making waves just trying to help everyone just get along...

How about you? Originally Posted by Toyz

I can also imagine the SL spent his recess in the teachers lounge.

I see it as more akin to a grade school playground. You have your funny kids, your flirty one, the kids that hide in the corner, the noisy ones, the smart one...don't forget the sad ones, the playground bully & his minions, the cute girl all the boys fawn over who got her boobies at 11...

And the MODS are the teachers, coming in occasionally to break us up or bring fruit cups & milk... Originally Posted by Toyz

Lemme try one a me own:

Sand castle contest. Best sand at the water line, when the tide is low.

The analogy was that SL was ALSO a kid on the playground at that time.

It used to be religion that people hitched to when trying to be condescending, judgemental & controlling.

Now it is being "politically correct" and twisting everything out of context and trying to pass it off as offensive.

If that had been even a slight intension of mine I would apologize, but I think this is a huge reach and honestly don't understand the motivation...

Words on the page speak for themselves. Talk of 11 and 12 year olds and their body parts.

My motivation should be obvious - I come to an adult board for adult discussion only. ANY mention of minors, in whatever context, I find disturbing.

But my "motivation," like your "intention," is equally irrelevant. One of our positions is correct, the other incorrect. Let's not cloud the discussion trying to mind-read.

Either way no skin off my back and I bare no shame as the intent was obvious except for those looking to make something of nothing..

Back on topic, please.

Intentions were fine, but sometimes joking around goes wrong. Thanks for saying that, JohnnyYanks.

Ztonk, thanks for the ruling and thanks for the edits.

OP- nice topic

My conclusions regarding pecking order:

1) Owners
2) Admins
3) Mods (period) It does not mater if they if they are on whipersappers (think combat engineers) dole or getting "protection pussy."
4) All Others (period) Prolific Posters, High Volume Man-whores, ASPD know it all's, Providers, "Ladies", Multi-handle Users, Newbies, Lurkers, Jerks, Flirts, and anyone in between.

So....Toyz would you care to share with the class if you were pointed, or did you get off with a warning?

Besides it gave me a reason to research the objector...interesting what you can learn about posting patterns, and by invoking the "6 degrees of Kevin Bacon" methodology.

BTW spot on analysis of the pecking order...couldn't agree more.
