Why doesn't the guy just get himself booted off the site like me. I've been booted out of so many things that I can't even remember them all. The most memorable has to be being booted off my university' radio show after repeated warnings not to say the "F " word on the air. I think the last straw was when I was doing a night slot and had to go live to the reporter'talking to homeless people demonstrating in some park one night. I think I said something like the losers should get f**king jobs and stop bloodsucking off the public. Then I played Takin' Care of Business by BTO and half an hour later I was toast. I was fed up with the stupid politics anyway. So I'd rather be booted out of something than just quit. Being booted out of something makes it easier to explain. When you're booted out the only reason you have to give is : I dunno. I'd rather go out in a blaze of glory rather than saying " this sucks so I quit so there". Make a statement man! ------------- |

If someone really wants to leave but is not able to delete their account here's what I suggest. Redo your password. Type your new password without looking at the numbers or letters you type in. Then you won't know your password and will be unable to log in. I have done this twice on other sites. Apparently it is pretty much impossible to leave prog sites. I guess they figure they don't want you to leave because they take all the fans they can get.

People make replies personal as a matter of course, it is impossible not to, if you are part of a dialogue with an opposing view then an interpersonal exchange is inevitable. If someone posts a comment that I disagree with then my reply is directed at that person in particular and not at all the people in the world who share that view, in disagreeing with the argument I am naturally disagreeing with the man, yet while I'm attacking the argument I am not attacking the man, but it can be misconstrued. The problem there is a forum post lacks all the non-verbal information that a face-to-face conversation would carry - you cannot tell whether I'm typing this post in anger or while convulsed in fits of giggles or in a state of ambivalent bliss - so the subtitles and nuances of language can be misinterpreted, an attack on the argument can be misread as an attack on the man and often is. For example if you think that something someone said was an idiotic thing to say you have to be very careful in how you express that thought - smart people say stupid things, that does not make them stupid, but if you point out their comment was stupid it can make them feel stupid. Of course stupid people also say stupid things and in my experience those people are quickest to take offense. One of the many roles I serve here is responding to reports of personal attack between forum-members: to evaluate the gravity of what at first glance seems mild or innocuous I will trawl back through the exchange of posts to see how the conversation escalated and to ascertain what prompted the alleged attack and subsequent report. More often than not is it due to some minor misunderstanding or some perceived slight made in an otherwise innocent comment. ------------- What? |
Posted By: Dean
Date Posted: December 08 2013 at 03:21
It takes a lot for us to suspend an account. First off they have to break some rule or other, since we only have 5 rules and 2 of them are relating to personal attacks (2 & 4) then that is not too difficult:

The problem I have with you is that you take your frustrations about another member and decide to make a thread about it. Everyone reading PA inside the last two days know perfectly well who you're talking about. Like I said in my mail to you: you've never once approached any member of the admin team about your concerns, which is the way these things are handled. You post in the open forum. When that then is about a "bullying situation" you yourself instigated, and, perhaps far more worrying, about a respected longstanding member, I close the thread. Then again, I would've done the same had any other member been involved. ------------- “The Guide says there is an art to flying or rather a knack.

Two major problems 1- the Internet is a jungle , where exotic birds and fruit survive next to scary monsters. You can get ambushed, triangulated and shot at but you must soldier on. 2- English is a terse, relatively emotionless language that can, under circumstances such as invisibility of the typer, to easily misinterpret the meaning (or density) of rebuttals, difference of opinion etc....Using emoticons can soothe the reply . Sarcasm, irony and judgment are the unfortunate tools of the word sniper. Do like I have a few times, ignore those who pass judgement on you and forgive them, for they know not that they have sinned. Or best yet, respond with humor , as some have no sense of it at all. Which explains my post signature below.
