It is human nature to feel challenged when one is approached with an opinion that conflicts with their own. It is also human nature to bring others into ones way of thinking. This creates debate...which can trigger emotions... in normal folks, lawyers typically don't have this issue... it is what makes them lawyers.

This would be a very boring forum if we had no diversity. If everyone here just parrots the opinion of the mods, it won't be long before this forum is back to 100 members again.

A very valid point that you make however. The moderators here have not attacked someone that was acting for showing emotions. You can't take things personally because they're not meant that way. The problem I ran into when I was a moderator was that when I disciplined someone for violating a rule they thought I was personally out to get them and I did it just because I didn't like them. But, that's just simply not the way it is. When someone gets disciplined they should change the subject and move on. If you dwell on it then it causes problems.

At the end of the day the rules are exactly what they say and the moderators job is to keep everyone within those boundaries to keep the forum civil.

Other than your first sentence, I am not sure what your response has to do with my post. I haven't witnessed anyone attacking a mod around here. On the contrary, I see major sucking up most of the time. Heck, just look at this thread. If the mods aren't feeling tingles by now, they never will.

Been in those situations plenty of times. It's not fun at all.

They have my back, in other words. If I say something that a mod feels crosses the line around here, I have no problem with them deleting my post. I have a very assertive personality and I am well aware that I can go too far at times. Sometimes I post things that come across more vindictive than I meant them to. In these cases, the mods save me from myself.

I would like to remind the mods that points are periodically erased from your driving record.

Yes, but like driving, points accrued remain on the record for a period of three years from conviction date. Let's see, you joined April 2008, so you have over a year before any of your points start to drop off. Better be careful!!
