Oh come on Jamie - YOU defending the mods?
All I'm asking for is a simple *acknowledgement* that complaints were received.
And, as best I can tell, there a great lot of athiests around here that shouldn't really care much about that religious holiday anyway - so I'm a little offended if people that deny the religion are taking advantage of it's benefits while insulting those that believe. Kind of tired of that sort of blatant hypocrisy....but that's another topic.
Anyway - let me ask your opinion, Jamie: You know my record around here, and you also know that since I am a user, and since I am talking on a thread, then you know that whatever crimes I have committed on the site are paid for. Do I, therefore, have as much right as anyone else to file a complaint when I read thread content that offends my beliefs, or when I read thread content that is assualtive to other's beliefs, disabilities, age, race or nationality? Do I have a right to bring these up and *expect* the users -- all of whom should know better - to be dealt with.
Because -- I specifically have filed complaints against people that have made disparraging, insulting, or otherwise offensive comments on ALL of those above listed topics, in addition to comments that were simply personal assualts directed at another user, which were in no way a contribution to the conversation.
Should I expect these users to be dealt with, despite the fact that I filed them? Should I expect this to actually be the fair community they say it is? Should I actually expect that they will hold true to the oft-spoken word when they insist that will not allow such behavior?
