24. I've asked mods to lock down my threads
When the joke wasn't as funny as I thought it was and it was obvious poeple's feelings were getting hurt.

Ask Peggy about my thread about her brutalizing handicapped people (Which is so NOT Peggy at all.... I thought the irony of it was funny. She didn't. I asked the mods to lock it. They did. And that was a good thang. We sometimes veiw locking and deleting as censorship.... but sometimes it's just good manners.)


Khash.

(I'd love to see Wesley lock himself down! Or better yet.... lock Heidi down! Fight of the century.... and I bet she can slap harder than he can!)

5. Sort of, but not because I wanted it to get deleted
I posted something that I knew would get deleted hoping that the person it was aimed at read it before the mod. It was my darkest moment here at DU. I really told the guy off. Since then I've not allowed a post on a message board get me that angry.

27. It would probably be easier if I say something like
"What an asshole!" Hey, maybe that'll do it! But I think I would have to say it to someone I'm arguing with ... and mean it. :shrug:
On the other hand, I KNOW you don't get deleted for calling someone uppity! :rofl:

29. start a topic "what an asshole", no message and don't answer
that'll drive them nuts, but may not get deleted. hmmm, off to think more.

uppity came from refering to myself and siblings by age/dog pack position "alpha bitch...", got to uppityb* but wanted to just be a asexual poster. I got taken for male for quite a while before I came out and proclaimed my self.

We have quite a list of uppity women, you know ... and you're on it! :rofl:

someone posted something with a link to do something nasty to something here on DU but I can't remember what it was except it was nasty. Ignore, or expand lines or some such. You are an angel, right?

25. Sometimes I like to be a bit immature when I can get away with it here
takes the pressure off of being irate and working and going on with everything else in life. Good to have people who don't to counteract those of us who do. :toast:

The troll was tombstoned later.

32. rather forward posting, eh? Don't call a troll a troll, describe the behav
describe the behavior. "I have observed that you seem to be acting rather like a troll, or a republician, in that you support the current administration and cannot spell worth beans. I would suggest that you modify your behavior by doing something anatomically impossible elsewhere."

I was pissed off at all of the stupidity I kept running into and rather than diplomatically telling the troll off I just let them have it.

35. No. It's a hard job being a moderator. Why make extra work for them?
Seriously, I mod a couple of boards and you'd be surprised at how much work goes into modding decisions.
I wouldn't wish to make extra work for someone on purpose.
