The posts in question have been saved and placed where other mods can see them. I had/have the option of deleting Mr. "Ajatashatru" for what he accused me with a completely out-of-the-blue, gratuitous attack when I was being perfectly peaceful here (my posts are above - what there deserves the accusations that this obnoxious fellow made, and what makes him entitled to make such attacks without expecting retribution and discipline?)
Others still have the option. They need to decide if they had enough of the forum sliding into chaos with these sorts of random attackers who seem to have entirely missed what most people learned in kindergarten.
SwamyG, please cut out the pompous garbage. That is a request as a co-postor. You already had a needless run-in with a moderator who probably has forgotten more than all you have learned, before you were in your diapers. Why do some people, including you, feel it necessary to go attack moderators? Do you think I or other moderators come here to post, trying to find someone to ban or warn? Why? Have you thought through any of these things before letting your fingers do what passes for your thinking?
What "mocking tone" do I use that you do not earn by your own behavior? Does your behavior deserve any respect? Do you have any respect for anyone? Have you ever been in any place where one has to stand on the strength of one's own thinking? How would you know what a "mocking tone" really is? I am getting really tired of this bratty whining.
A few questions for you:
Do you think it would be acceptable for, say, some oiseule to come by your house and ask your grandfather loudly
when he is "kicking the bucket"? If not, why is it acceptable for postors at BRF to do that to moderators? The one who is now whining above, did exactly that, and I warned him for that. It was such a bloody disgusting thing to do - like crapping on the floor - and it was not done to me, by the way.
Do you think it is acceptable for some jackass in the street to come up to you and accuse you loudly and in public of
having sold your parents' jewels to the highest bidder?
If not, why do you think that is acceptable behavior from a postor at BRF directed at a moderator? That is essentially what this fellow did to me, with absolutely no provocation. If you see my posts above, I bore him absolutely nothing but goodwill and humor, and the guy kicks me with that, among several other bloody libel statements. Do you think that is acceptable behavior from someone over 11 years old? Why? It would surely have got the fellow banned if it were aimed at any other postor but me, because I would have stepped in to pre-empt the response from the other postor.
Would the target of such a vicious mugging attack not be justified in kicking the attacker in the balls if he were inclined to violence? Or even self-defense? All I did was warn him for that too. What do you think I should have done? "Turn the other cheek"? Be "Gandhian"? Take it lying down?
Do you think it is acceptable for someone to call your sister an
agent of a foreign government in public, just for kicks? If not, why is it acceptable for a postor at BRF to do something like that, in the confidence that "moderators won't moderate threads where they post"? (By that criterion, RayC, Rahul, Archan, and I should not moderate this thread, which would make it the "safest" thread for e-muggers. Fat chance. )
Read your own post above. Do you think it would be right for me declare that you have just
threatened me? The fellow in question (not AS, the other one) claimed that my post above was
"threatening postors with arrest". He made declarations about my private life (not that he knows a damn thing about me, but apparently the guy is in the habit of posting whatever flashes between his ears)
Or do you think the moderator would be justified in punching the daylights out of that sh1thead? I don't, because I am not violent, just as I have no intention of kicking the other one anywhere. Anyway, given his loud
, I seriously doubt if he has any ****. In this case I remembered that the same postor had been warned just a few days back for doing a similar thing to another postor, which nearly led to threats of lawsuits against BRF by the angered victim who was as innocent as I am, and this oiseule had been warned very clearly never to do that again. So he was banned. You have a problem with that?
How many more times do you think the same postor should have been allowed to launch such vicious attacks against postors? And cause lawsuits against BRF? Why? Is he stupid that he couldn't understand the warning from archan the first time? Or wasn't he just arrogant in his hateful behavior?
And you want to whine about that? Call it all the nonsense you have called it? And you don't expect to be mocked for that?
When some idiot does those things to you with absolutely no provocation, what do you think should be done to the guy who stands around clueless and makes pompous declarations like, say, what you have been making? You think you deserve the restraint and tolerance I am showing to you?
And by the way, don't address me as "Mr." Narayanan. My user name is narayanan. In fact, preferably, don't address me at all, if you can't give me credit for having used proper judgement and restraint before doing what I have promised to do to keep the forum clean and civil. I find your cloyingly false "kind advice" sickening. Of course you are not alone in the propensity to dish out gratuitous cloying advice to everyone. You at least contribute something positive to the forum from time to time.
My advice to you is to delete your post, even if you do not have the decency to apologize.
Thanks again.
