Whoa I missed a lot since Tuesday. Lol.
NYr likes to rub in the face of providers what he can do even if he shouldn't. He thinks he doesn't have to follow the rules of other staff. He's a title whore with his own brand of GPS. And the points for saying that will taste delicious. Mmmmmmmmm.
Now here's my legitimate argument about this:
Regardless of whether or not you think Dorthy is mouthy, there's no way her last two posts were off topic, rude or racial. Seems to me she did take a step back, even said, "I'm not gonna be mean...", followed by a legit observation related to the OP's original gripe about representing herself correctly. Dothy was clearly trying to adjust her tone without leaving the discussion. I think that's what the goal of moderating is: to direct the members toward more civil expression of their opinion. Yet she still got banned even after she obeyed the request.
That's how NYr moderates. He does what he wants based on his subjective opinion without seeing what's really happening. He a terrible moderator. I'm glad YM started an open discussion highlighting his latest arbitrary show of force. One that he brought up, btw, not her.
If that's what pushed her points over the edge (as NYr boasted in public about) then he should man up to his public bragging rights and explain his actions. After all, he's the one who brought it up. Not Yummy. NYr brought it up. Don't lose site of that glaring fact.
NYr brought this up, not Marie.
Even so, those of you bashing YM for starting this thread need to consider what if a mod went ahead and banned you anyway for trying to follow their instructions. Kind of goes against the whole point of moderating and even encourages members to disregard staff instructions after all is said and done.
NYr: "Hey do what I say"
Dorthy: "Yessir"
NYr: "Fuck you anyway. You're banned"
Somebody needs a vacation and it's not Dorthy.
