: There is a difference between fair comment and criticism and outright attacking of other posters. That is a line that must be drawn somewhere. I don't think Mikko's post was really offensive nor specifically negative toward any single person or persons... Just as your post here was a fair comment, so was Mikko's. No double standard, at least not in this case.
I'm not saying that his post was offensive. it wasn't to me. I am just comparing it in light to the some of the posts that were deleted on the main board. they were deleted because a moderater claimed that they had a negative tone on the board, but it was something silimar to mikko's posts. that's all I was referring to and making a point about it.
do you see what I meant about the double standard? it was talking about the boards and a moderater decided that was grounds for deleting it. and there were no real major negative comments about the boards, and some of those posts were psychology based.

: : And you and emily don't see this post as attacking others on the board or demeaning on the board's tone...
: : hmmm, very interesting.. kinda like a double standard don't you think.
: : : After being away for a while I took a good look at the boards from an average poster's view (being able to do that now, not being a moderator anymore) this board seems about as interesting as preteen beavises and butt-heads throwing boogers at each other. Still people come here and take all of this seriously, myself included.
: : : It must be mass psychosis. Or, in the inimitable words of the Ramones, "Somebody -- somebody put something in my drink" because nothing else really explains it.
: : : But then, this world is so full of weird s*** that nothing explains it. And people see it all as golden treasures. Weird, really weird.
