Ol’ Doc is Calling All Active Members on the Ol’ Miss Board Out. Guys, Gals, All of Ya!!!

My statement didn't have to speak to some emails.

I agree, fuck his attitude (the OP's) about the badlands. His post was nothing more than a thread about him. It was ill-advised. He knows it... or was told.

So, yes, the public statement was to let those who had concerns know that they were heard and something was said.

Perhaps we need to follow another guideline and take this private.

#3 "...This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases."

You hide behind the "respect" mirror? By your interpretation of "respect", you disrespect the owners by your actions here.

Fortunately, I don't agree with your interpretation of "respect".

It is unbecoming that your public "don't test me" was only meant for the weak. While, you call for privacy when it suits you.

You know how this shit works. Duckholiday posted it. He owns it. Him posting about them here does not protect him from them here. It invites them here.

You would be better served to simple say that your knowledge of the OP led you to over react to the firestorm he was inviting into a peaceful forum.

Lea, I have nothing but the utmost respect for you. You have been great in guiding me on what I should and shouldn't do while moderating.

DH...I wish like hell you would have contacted me via PM. You are dishing it out without the worry of having it come back on you. From what I've seen, you are above the law and I can't do anything to get you to cooperate. Let's be completely honest... if you were just a member here, you would have been busted for name calling and unnecessary rudeness but again, you are special so the rules don't apply to you.

I welcome instructions from the higher-ups on the site but this vague stuff, I just don't get. If you are afraid to say what needs to be done then just leave it alone. If not, then tell me. This "guess what I want to you to do" crap just doesn't fly with me. I try to apply the rules to everyone fairly. If you think I'm fucking up, just tell me so I can learn. If you can't, then please leave me alone to do what I can to make Eccie a better place for all

Thanks, good night and sleep good,

RL

Wow!!! This whole entire thread from beginning to end has made me feel like I'm back in high school. We can all see this is stemmed from some heated stuff going on in Texas forum. I'm sure there is plenty to be upset about. Can we just straighten our crowns ladies and pull up our pants gentlemen and take the high road? Coming in attacking anyone will not help us see the whole picture it only puts people on the defense. Now let's have some fun with the people we like and to hell with everyone else.

The point of quoting the guideline was not to argue about "respect" but that this should be done in private as the appropriate avenue... which it is, DH. So, I am not calling for privacy because it suits me, but because the guidelines suggest it.

He posted it the came and conquered... it was done. Did not have to continue. I already said "test me" was not the best choice.

RL, you are incorrect. I am bound by the same rules you are bound by. Your requirement that I or anyone else cooperate with strong arm tactics is duly noted.

The correct action was no action. No infractions. No cover for a middle finger to the "badlands" of ECCIE. The OP started drama. The OP gets drama, not the local modtard giving him cover.

Me not commenting on your response to him is me being kind.....ijs

....I agree, this thread has gone south and I want it stopped. Some of us old guard worked hard on making the MS boards some of the best without all the drama. I won't let it return.

Test me and points will follow...

The Mississippi forum must know that they are not held to an arbitrary standard different from the so called badlands.

If they choose peace and civility, it is a choice they make for that day. Them emailing an admin to enforce it against others for them, and her taking up that mantle is inexcusable.

Nope... I stand by the first part.

However, private would have fleshed out the issue and then a statement could have been posted. If nothing was accomplished in private, then posting would make more sense.

You certainly should have done it with RL.

See, you and I can disagree without fear of threats. The Mississippi forum deserves the same courtesy.

I love discussion and debates...however for this realm, I didn't join it for pissing contest (members vs mods, members vs providers, providers vs mods, whomever vs whomever). I joined to meet beautiful ladies and I think people forget their actual reason for being here. As for mods...I banged a mod (Lea) and it was great!!!

Save the bad mouthing about people in PMs, powder room and men's lounge.

With all the chimes in from tx providers...I wish they came to visit the coast more often. Them gals are gorgeous!!!

I've enjoyed my popcorn and I think this thread is well done. Nighters!!!

If Texas would stay in Texas, that would be great.
Our board is for Mississippi activities and information.
Texas came in like nonworking trash with nothing better to do than go to the nice part of town and cause trouble.

Please stop. Mississippi's board likes it the way it is.

#1 - Avoid cases of unprovoked rudeness to others. No place for it here. Yes, with the dynamic nature of the threads and topics, tempers will flare and things will become heated from time to time. You may often encounter individuals who become passionate or emotional when expressing one's opinion or point of view. That's all understood and perfectly acceptable within reason…….but, start slamming or bashing another member and be met with consequences.

#3 - Disrespect to others, IN GENERAL, will be considered an item of low tolerance, especially when posting in our coed forums. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others as you wish to be treated yourself. This applies to fellow members as well as staff. We do not require that you have respect for us, but we do require that you treat us respectfully in the public forums. If you feel the need to vent, gripe, or blow off some steam regarding a staff member's action or decision, we ask that you keep it private. Email, RTM, or the PM system would be the appropriate avenue to take in such cases. In cases where you would like to request additional clarity about a staff decision, you are free to pursue an answer in either a public forum or private means of communication. If handled publicly, post your inquiry in a respectful manner.

#4 - Blatant insults or hostility toward another member will be met with staff intervention. This applies to using our coed forums for name calling, personal attacks, or vulgar slang terms to describe fellow members. If you have legitimate concerns about another member here, share them tactfully in the appropriate private forums or with staff.

#14 - Our moderating staff monitors the forums with the goal of keeping threads on track and on topic. Occasionally we may issue specific instructions or direction to a poster and we ask that you respect those instructions and follow them. Disregarding a moderator's written instruction or repeating a violation for which you have been warned will most certainly result in penalty.

The only question now is how many points to give you.

Are you deliberately being obtuse?

RTM my name calling and unnecessary rudeness. We can have a good laugh about post #2 in modtardville.

Sadly, points is the least of the questions that arise from this threAD.

You should have taken the bait you so blithely cast aside.

No, I'm meeting you on the field you claim to play by. And you just made my point that I can't really do anything to you, it just gets laughed off and you really aren't bound to the rules.

I'll start a thread in the Staff and let's take it there. The people here don't need you and me arguing in public, let them have peace.
