Some friendly advice.
Stick with the person..and not the family.
It's simpler that way.
I agree with you completely. But I don't see any good reason why that should be a one way street.
It's not.
Mods are pretty fair here.
You see a post you think is over the line..flag it.
It's not their "fairness" I call into question. It's their perception that I find suspect. I really don't think it's malicious, it's a matter of simply getting used to seeing something for so long that they don't see their own bias on the matter. The fact that I have to flag it at all illustrates my point. The mods have seen Stephanie's comment. Yet it didn't even register with them that it was against the very same rule. It's so widespread around here that I could go around flagging posts all day long, and the only thing that would come out of it would probably be me being told to stop flagging so many posts. I'm tired of these comments, so I've taken a different approach to bringing the issue out to light, to generate discussion about it. I acknowledge that my tactics here are less than flattering, to say the least. But at this point I think this is the best chance to see something done about it. I'd be truly apologetic about what I've said, except that Stephanie's flagrant hypocrisy makes her completely undeserving of any compassion. She said it herself, it's perfectly okay for her to insult people by bringing their family into the discussion, but it's not okay for someone to do it to her. Where is the same outrage toward her and people like her on this board who regularly invoke people's family, i.e. their children, to make insulting comments?
