apparently the mods don't have to follow the rules?

I insulted the dr in a private message. I got points from biomed for being rude to the dr
how did biomed find out unless someone reveled what was said in a private message? Which is against the rules.

Well, since you posted it, it’s not private anymore. Now we all know.

What did you say to The Dr?

The Charley

I guess the OP doesn’t realize there’s a forward function for PMs. Yep, it’s right there.

you need to stop publicly calling out things that don't go yer way with the staff. you need to just accept it and let it go.



i've had to do that more times than you have, by far and i'm still here. let me remind you on the staff's recent missive about "public bitching" about the staff ... like getting a shower snorkel down a u bend of a toilet .. it's worth remembering.

Unlike the " pile-on crew", I actually think that you should be able to say things in private and expect them to be private ex: a PM. I don't think a mod has to like it, because issuing points should be reserved for actual posts.

Assuming it might be for disrespect for rules or insults, is just a guess for the nature of the infraction, but a conversation privately with a mod shouldn't be a point worthy event. I'd appeal that JM and see if calmer heads prevail, and just accept the outcome afterwards. In today's rules of the board, I know we need to all not ahead of passionate retorts and lose sight of manners.

But relaying a concern or private comment in a PM should be a safe area, especially if it was to another mod. Just saying.

Oh the sweet irony

The question is, will the OP get banned before they delete his account?
