WE know that, YOU know that, but THEY didn't know that. Since the phrase was decidedly ambiguous and causing comment, we had to pay some attention to it. It's no big deal, we can all agree on that. And hopefully we can all agree it's time to close this thread down, because that's what I am about to do... |

This is just silly.
My reason for wanting to post a PM was not to cause harm, but... to show that I get PMs after leaving comments and people think I've voted when I haven't, and call me out on it in those PMs. There seems to be some disbelief about this and I simply wanted to show my innocence.
I never intended anything "hostile" nor did I intend to post any commentor's name.
There is nothing at all in a "hostile manner" about posting someone else's comment and not giving an opinion on it.
There's CERTAINLY no way that this could be construed as "attacking others".
Repeating what someone says... exactly as they say it, is not slander or attacking someone. It's quoting them; that's legal everywhere, I think.
"...the post was rightly reported because it contained a clear declaration of intent to violate a Forum Rule."
I disagree. I never declared anything of the sort. I just said that I would post a quotation. And... frankly, I'm surprised that anyone would assume this from me either from my words on this thread or from my prior behavior over the past seven years here.

Regardless, the rule exists and for good reason... "Be aware that others may have differing opinions of a personal attack, so use care when posting. Please note that this includes publicly "calling out" commenters (whether by name or not) in a hostile way." Posting negative PMs for the community to read and gossip over (which, sadly, is a major pastime in internet forums) certainly qualifies as "in a hostile way". If you don't like PMs you receive, the thing to do is bring them to SC's attention. |

I cannot quite see what forum rule she was threatening to break. Do enlighten me. |

Posting a PM counts as "calling out"? I find that a little surprising, but I suppose it makes sense at some level. In any case, I still think a good portion of this community are just way too fricken sensitive. It's one of the bigger reasons why ya'll are almost never cursed with my horrible comments any longer, too many whiners that take offense after entering something to be judged, and I don't really feel like self-regulating that much, it's just too damned painful to reword every thought into something PC enough for the thin-skinned to consume without pain. |

| When I was competing, any negative PM I got about one of my comments during voting would automatically result in a drop of my vote on that image to a 1. That's what I'd suggest you do Lydia, even if you didn't even originally vote. It's up to you whether you then want to inform them of the change or not ;) |

Then you should follow all my postings and parse my words very carefully.
You will call me "Sensi" and I will call you "Little Grasshopper" and you will become as I am.
Let the teaching begin.... |

im sure they could cory, but haters gonna hate.
it's too bad you can't report a report...get the person who did so put into 48h forum access lockdown.
there's nothing offensive there in the post, and is just stating that using PMs to harass lydia for perceived slights will be publicized by her and not taken silently as they are unsolicited and can be erroneously attributed.
if people have a problem with that, the solution is "don't send her messages of that nature", not "lets get the rest of dpc riled up and into a mob-like state" |

What ever happened to guns and religion? Or religious guns? *sigh* |
I've been busy with work.
ETA: To whoever reported that - I cannot imagine why you would have done so, but surely you could find something more productive to do?

Drat. I've missed the DPC fun. I always come too late to these threads and miss the interesting beginnings. We need an outtakes thread thread! :) |
it's still there, just with strikethrough in the font |

Place a human face-to-face, they'll use it to communicate effectively.
Give a human anonymity, they'll use it to bemoan, whine and cause others grief.

Oh my. I love your comments Lydia. (And I have just changed my preferences to 'anonymous' during voting. I frankly don't track how my vote correlates to comments, and I guess I did not realize how closely others did.)

+1
FWIW both the reports and the correction were/are valid, and not an issue any more. |

They really reported you? Really? Sad. Very sad.
We had a very articulate member of parliament in RSA in the 1930's, who said of parliament: "half of the people here are asses" and when forced to retract the statement said "half of the people here are not asses". That is the exact type of retraction your comment needs.
