In the first place all I did was ask questions of a group in order to find some clarity. You weighed in and I responded with perfectly reasonable questions based on that. If you go through you will find that I did not "continue to press" (implying that I was making a personal attack) but continued with a discussion, still seeking clarity on my original query, and also making observations about the new issue that arose from those questions:namely your assertion that you by right could "jihad other moderator's posts" but if they did not like that or agree with it, you could then "discuss it". The overtone of a headmaster talking down to a moronic child is unmistakeable.
As you say, too old, and my first internet connection was to Oxford university via one of the first telephone ethernet links from a Commodore PET. The only person who has me beat in internet terms is Tim Berners-Lee. I've been messing around with forums since 9660baud dial up modems were cutting edge and this is most definitely not my first square dance. Every forum has its own way of doing things and I'd be stupid not to try to understand how they work if I am to do a job to the best of my ability. Understanding means asking questions and raising issues if and when they arise and I am unable to decipher them. I was told this was the correct forum to do so, but if one cannot raise issues, point out disparity or question contradiction here then what the hell is the point?
You will note that until that last exchange there was no umbrage at all, and that because while I'm the new boy and acknowledge that status, I'm not an idiot nor a pushover and I have never liked the idea in a community situation of one or two people bulldozing through others. That is simply out of order.
On the ther hand, as a wise man wrote, it's only the internet and not that important in the grander scheme of things.
So. Celebrities with no clothes on. good, eh?
