Darn, I hate it when I do that. I type something that seems perfectly clear in *my* head but doesn't really come out that way.
I was initially replying to Shadows "deputies having a different name when they are fully in charge? " when I said I thought it could create suspicion. I wasn't referring to your statement about deputies being non-posters. I didn't make that clear enough in my reply. Sorry. My bad.
I think we all have the same feelings about disagreement in general. It's just that it is difficult to put that into a posting policy.
Jeez, I hate talking about another poster behind his back, but I am not saying anything negative, so hopefully it's ok.
I know that you and fires got off to a bad start, and reading the back-and-forth posting of everyone on those threads it makes sense that you would find it distressing. In fact, I could see that everyone was upset by it. And I think we could all agree that it was getting out of hand. And worse, people I like were in danger of getting blocked.
When I got involved, I was really just wanting to help restore peace, not hurt anyone. I (remenber I like debate) thought I could see something in there that shouldn't just be dismissed. And I think things have calmed down there, and I'm finding him/her to be quite pleasant.
And I have no idea what got me off on that tangent.
Where was I - oh, yeah posting policy. How could that be done? Cursing and putting others down are
easy to spot. Sarcasm is a little tougher - sometimes things read sarcastic when that wasn't intended. But how could disagreeable be quantified or define? Or rudness? It's kind of like pornography: "I can't define it but I know when I see it"
Maybe instead of someone to PBC after the fact, we need a couple of thick skinned dedicated 'nice guys' to help (or at least try to help) diffuse things before they get too bad.
