Cait you just said earlier that you didn't think she should get a warning.
How would you have handled this?
I was being sarcastic. Of course she deserved a warning. By your policy, she violated it by making the thread about "me" and not some violation of policy I might have broken. That's the difference.
She was on a rant, and by allowing it to go on for a full day, it was condoned. I've not broken any rules, and the one time I did, I was warned. [rightfully so, I was just fed up with something the mods should have handled.]
That's the thing with you guys, you take so long to do something that baiting continues to make the situation worse. Either handle it fast, or let it go on and let us duke it out. You guys [EI] choose to handle it with moderation, then wonder when someone gets fed up with being flamed and baited.
*shrugs* you get what you get under those circumstances.
Is it warnable to state that you ( generic ) don't like some one? That you ( generic you ) believe a person is causeing trouble?
It's sure been warnable before. Look at the threads of bitching previously.. And as I said, one post in a regular thread that states an opinion of disliking someone is sort of normal human behavior. No, I don't think that is warnable. BUT beginning a thread [on EI] for the express purpose of bitching, baiting and flaming... Shal by your EI rules that is a bona fide no-brainier. By your own rules people have been banned for it.
You know I am not trying to defend her, I am seeking ideas on how to deal with this sort of posts.
See above... and thanks for the conversation. LOL, I'm eating sushi for lunch and in a pretty good mood. I don't even mind that this is all 'casting pearls before swine' and wasting my time.
And FTR, I'm not hurt by this, I expected it as a matter of fact. Which was why I stayed out of the thread for as long as I did. Something you should ALL personally thank me for BTW, because I could have reamed her a new ass hole. You know as well as I do that the reason that thread didn't explode is because I sat quietly. She gave me the perfect opportunity to flame her right back. I didn't.
So you tell me........ who is the troll?
So all I want from you or any other EI staff member is a big "Thank You" because *I* showed such considerable restraint by not tearing EI to shreds.
Then leave me alone. 'K
