You do not have to hear anyone's opinion here at SS. Simply do not read the thread.

But hey, we read your opinion.

And you would like to put moderators on your ignore list? Yet, others should not ignore a moderators posts unless of course he is trolling

Perhaps you can answer this question for us? I'm interested in your answer.

You don't understand what I was saying.

I want moderators to use a non moderator account for their UNOFFICAL posts and their non ignorable moderator account for their OFFICAL posts.

That way I can separate the stuff I have to read from their personal opinions. See what I mean now?

When moderators use their single account for both personal and official posts then the line between the two is blurred to the point of being indistinguishable from each other hence my request for separation.

We could not do that. My alter ego would come back and slap a red flag on you.

But seriously August. There will be days that disagreements and ticking each other off is going to happen. Some see it as a personal attack. Others not so much. Opinions are like butts. We all go them.

Maybe it's time to convince Neal to change the one account policy.

Neon: I respect your opinion but a moderators job is not to ignore any post made. Nor do I want to ignore any moderators official post, but I'd much rather have the ability to use the forum ignore feature on their personal posts without having to read it first to see which type it is.

You're being petty. I have no problem with any mod debating or posting. Sure, they can often partake of heated debate, go off topic, etc., then throw the mod hammer down, I've had it happen to me, but it doesn't make me mad, nor does it bother me. I really do think most of them try to find a balance, rather than just take a hard line, which may confuse and offend some. I think they all do a great job, but they're human like the rest of it. I respect their right to post as I do and be a mod at the same time.

If you're so sensitive about a certain person, just don't read their post at all. I find Steve disgusting and replusive at times, not to mention rude, bossy and insulting. Do you hear me complaining about him or calling him names, no, I respect his right to be a mod on one hand and a arsehole on the other.

I always liked you. And that little dog too! (use wicked witch of the west voice)

I have a thing for you as well, but let's keep it secret.

We all do what we have to do. I'm not asking you to stop moderating.

The problem is your butt has a badge on it which makes your personal attacks official whether you intend it to be or not.

I would ignore them if I could but moderator accounts cannot be placed on ignore.

Some people like to be whipped with riding crops. That doesn't mean the rest of us would be ok with that. He and Takeda can be rude, bossy and insulting on an account I can put on ignore.

August, if anything I post looks to be a personal attack please say so. It is not intentional I assure you. I can not think of any exchange you and I have had that was personal.

All you have to do is scan your eyes to the left, if you see their name beside a post, don't read it. Seriously, it's an online forum with a bunch of fake names of people you will never meet. Let the mods have their fun here debating as we do and understand they have a job to do, sure they may cross the line once in awhile because of that, is it really that big of a deal?

I've seen your numerous claims that you're being personally attacked, then reading, I see no attack at all. You ever think it may just be you?
