My first reply to you was logged in the complaint book on Dec 22nd at 11:15 PM—there haven't been any edits.
The second post was at 12:47 AM on the 22nd, and I added a link to the rules about 10 minutes later. After that, there hasn't been any interference, because every single edit (just look at your own posts) leaves a permanent, unerasable digital footprint.
And you posted your complaint here: Dec 23rd at 3:37 PM.

Because of these intentional lies and your accusation that I altered my posts, I am publicly demanding an apology right here as well as a penalty for you from this thread's moderator!

I'm not lying. As a Catholic, I try to avoid sin. Lying just isn't in my nature. ☕
Everything I wrote was simply a comment on your post, which was missing parts I specifically mentioned.
Parts I remember clearly being written. And I have long legs, thank God. 😁 This isn't an accusation, Chris Peterson53; these are facts I want a reasoned response to, rather than your calls for me to be punished.
Why would I apologize to you? 🤷 My intentions are pure, so my words reflect that.

As a moderator, you have the ability to edit text or whatever else you need to.
There's a sentence missing from your second post: "you're obsessed" —which is why I filed a
complaint here. 🙄 Furthermore, you used the text to "explain" my "obsession." ☕ It's a blatant insult, one you haven't been sanctioned for, and yet you continue to insult me by calling me a liar.

So you publicly demand? An apology and a penalty? 😁 You are in a position to demand. But I won't
demand anything from you or the admins. I’ll just ask you to come back down to earth and look at your own writing
from all angles. I'm asking the admins to react to the accusations and insults coming from moderator Chris Peterson53 toward me as a user on Reddit. You don't have to agree with what I write, but a certain level of decency
should be shown, especially since you're a moderator. Instead of humiliating and harassing users, you're trying to demand
your own satisfaction.

I was banned for three days just because I dared to make two entries in the complaint book PDF for Religion,
even though I could have just replied once. According to the rules. And it was labeled as a gross violation
of the forum rules. But the comment from "colleague rowdyhawk10" speaks volumes, even though I never received an explanation for the
ban; that option is disabled for me. I still don't know why, to this day.

Is this why I was banned? http://www.reddit.com/showthread.php?t=480339&page=4

🤔 It's funny how quickly you responded to my post here. So much for my "harassing" you. 😁

Chris Peterson53 said:It’s actually pretty amazing how you just strip words out of my response, twisting them to fit whatever narrative you want to push.
If you actually listed all the accusations you've thrown at me and rowdyhawk10—and there are dozens, both here and in those open threads over on the religion complaint book pdf—it would be obvious that you're just obsessed, exactly like I said. You’re trying to spin it to make it look like I’m the one being obsessive about something else, and now you're throwing in "paranoia" (along with all the other insults like calling people idiots) which neither rowdyhawk10 nor I have ever once mentioned.

"Amazing" is probably the wrong word for how you altered the words from my reply by editing your own post on this thread—something I didn't catch until I went back to read it after you called me out. You wanted me to "control myself" regarding what I supposedly "left out."
But looking at the words I was talking about... for instance, those phrases starting with "you are obsessed" in your second text? They aren't there anymore, along with several others. 🙂
Am I just imagining things? 😁 Your post looks much "softer and nicer" now that you've edited it in the complaint book, compared to the first version I filed a complaint against, which contained everything I just listed. It seems like you're just worried about what you actually said, so you deleted parts of it. Honestly, I wish I had copy-pasted the original text; apparently, that’s necessary sometimes. 🙄

On top of all that, I have to "admire" your sheer nerve in posting this comment regarding my complaint
about your text in the religion complaint book pdf right here on this forum.
It just goes to show everything I've been saying about your dishonest moderation, the blatant disrespect, and how you twist the truth.

As far as the insults (personal ones, at that) that you claim you never directed at us, you clearly have a short memory... maybe you should try re-reading all your posts, especially on these boards and the General Discussion section. Just to remind yourself of the names you called my character (not my job as a moderator), on a thread that had nothing to do with me, which ended up getting you a suspension from Ford...

Look, here
I have no intention of dragging this debate out with you any further.
I said what I felt needed to be said, and you seem to think you need to have the last word.

Yeah, mostly through links. I'm "honoring" your moderation style with humor, not attacking you personally, since I don't even know you. And it isn't an insult; it's just laughing, because that's really all that's left after the way you and rowdyhawk10 conduct yourselves.
It’s not an insult; it’s just the truth told through a joke.
And if you want to take this personally, that's your issue, not mine. And honestly, it's not just yours, it's also the issue with
"your colleague rowdyhawk10, who you're obviously thinking of when you say 'directed at us'." Look, being rude and insulting isn't my style. Humor is, but I try to keep it civil.🙂

Anyway, just think about your own motives and the tone you're taking compared to my posts—and his, too. And how you're treating me. Because
we all pour our own personalities into what we write, whether we want to admit it or not. That's just how it works. People don't write these things for us;
we write them ourselves. At least, that's how it feels to me. So, these posts are a reflection of someone's character. Which means,
you've adopted this moderator persona that I basically "gifted" to you. Whether that persona actually reflects who you are inside...
well, I won't go there, because that would be turning into a psychoanalyst. 😬
He made his stance clear a long time ago—he wants people kicked off the PDF. But what about you? You
hinted at something regarding "rules about banning" my insignificant self back before you were a moderator. 😉 ☕

By the way, regarding writing on the PDF, you're always welcome.

Khmmmm, aha, nice attempt at a moderator power move. 🥳

P.S. I said I wouldn't comment on this post of yours, but I had to, just to clarify why something is "fascinating". ☕

Chris Peterson53 said:It’s actually pretty impressive how you strip words right out of my response just to twist them into whatever new meaning fits your narrative.
If you were to list all the accusations you've thrown at me and moderator rowdyhawk10—and there are dozens of them, both here and in those public threads on the PDF—it leads to one unavoidable conclusion: you are time obsessed with this, just like I said. You're trying to paint it as if I was accusing you of some other kind of obsession, and now you're adding paranoia to the mix (along with all those other insults and calling people idiots) which nowhere and never was ever mentioned by either rowdyhawk10 or myself.

And regarding the personal insults you claim you never directed at us... honestly, you seem to forget things pretty quickly. Maybe it would be a good idea to go back and re-read all your posts, especially on these pages and over in the Miscellaneous section. Just to remind yourself of the adjectives you used to describe my character (not my moderation work, but me personally) on a thread that had nothing to do with you. That whole thing ended with you getting a formal warning from Ford, which you also complained about...

here
I have no intention of getting into any more arguments with you here.
I said what I felt needed to be said, and you seem to think you have to keep going.

Anyway, as far as posting on the PDF goes, you're always welcome.

If I recall correctly, you made your stance clear in the complaint book, quite convincingly
and that response basically ended any further "debate" from your side regarding my insignificance.
So, I went there, thanked them for the decision, and followed your own instructions
regarding the appeal against the ruling.

So, no comment on the post above, other than noting this is the first time I've been told I'm "welcome" on the PDF after everything we've been through. ☕

Nicholas King said:I honestly can't bring myself to care about someone who resorts to threatening "official action" in a discussion like this.

And that's fine by me. Why? Because you aren't in any position to make those threats. ☕
Every citizen in this country has the right to contact the authorities if their constitution guaranteeing rights are violated. And in this case, they have been.
So, please, just be polite and leave me alone. ☕

Nicholas King said:Maybe you could have actually come across as charming with a sentence like that.

Oh, so now you're the one judging me? 🤦 Since we're right in the middle of presidential election season, feel free to run for office yourself. ☕

Edit: thanks Alex Barnes8 for understanding. 🙂

Regarding the Faith and Freedom thread, my post was deleted. I submitted a question to the complaint book
regarding the reasoning behind this, while strictly following the rule of appeal.
I wasn't being insulting, nor was I trolling or disparaging anyone; I was simply responding
to a post whose claims I found interesting. What's the issue there?

In response, I received an ad hominem attack from a moderator, claiming that I am
obsessed and that I am personally targeting moderators. 🤦
When I tried to explain myself, I was met again with accusations from the moderator
Chris Peterson53: you're the one who's obsessed, followed by some psychoanalysis about how I'm playing the victim,
and so on.

http://www.reddit.com/showthread.php?t=480339&page=4

The rules listed in the complaint book were immediately sent to me via a link in her post.
Right in the first sentence, it states that insults will not be tolerated,
among other things. So why is her insulting me being tolerated? This isn't about ego,
which many people hide behind when they lash out at others, acting as if they just need to fix someone's
balance. 🙄 This was pure rudeness and insults used because there were no actual arguments left.
Where have I ever called out or insulted any users or moderators like this?
The only thing I could do was try to handle it with a bit of humor in two or three threads I opened in the complaint book
about similar topics. Why? Because honestly, writing about these kinds of petty tactics is becoming exhausting.
They are never wrong; they are always blameless, while users are labeled as de facto morons,
idiots, or disobedient. Now, I'm being called obsessed and practically paranoid. 🤦
At least, that's how it usually goes in the religion section.

So, apparently, being "obsessed" is what defines someone who asks
why their post was removed? Yet, those specific labels were directed at me—unlike others—based on criteria known
only to her, along with the claim that I am "personally targeting moderators."
I was also instructed by that same moderator to file a complaint through the complaint book, which is exactly what I am doing now.

Given everything I’ve stated, both before and now, and having received no response from administration,
I am kindly asking the administrators of Reddit to review my concerns and act according to
the Rules regarding moderators.
I don't have to be friendly with every single moderator, but I shouldn't have to endure
this kind of verbal abuse. When I signed up for Reddit, I accepted the Rules, but I also
expect those same Rules to be upheld by the people moderating the religion section.
And it's not just me. The behavior of these two moderators is nothing short of a dictatorship. It’s easy
to just leave the site, but these patterns of behavior and insults still linger. I haven't
come here to insult anyone or to spark "religious wars," yet that is constantly
being forced on me, degrading both my character and my faith. My posts, where I
point out the uncivilized conduct of these two moderators during discussions,
are mocked and ridiculed. As an individual, I feel like I'm being silenced, even pushed onto
the casual chat threads (suddenly I'm untalented and boring, of course, written by someone
who hasn't faced any sanctions). On that same thread, after I made a single comment questioning whether
mocking Jesus is necessary, the moderator rowdyhawk10 responded with a provocation,
saying "allergic, allergic," while Chris Peterson53 chimed in with more mockery,
followed by others, as rowdyhawk10 starts creating threads about the Church and its "activities."
I've seen this behavior before in that thread, and it seems to be the standard script for anyone deemed "unfit."
I just ask that you consider whether I am truly the one who is unfit. And for whom,
and for what reason? Simply because I don't belong to the group of mockers? 🤷

http://www.reddit.com/showthread.php?t=277819&page=416

When I asked just one single question about whether mocking God was really necessary, Tom basically told me I shouldn't try to police the thread. But honestly, anyone looking at the logs can see who's actually being preachy here. Just two pages later, rowdyhawk10 goes on this long monologue about Islam after I made a comment, and then it gets wiped. He didn't miss his chance to post a link to some pop singer wailing about "love," though.
We even brought this up in the complaint book. On top of that, there's Nazi imagery being posted in the same chat thread, which is apparently supposed to be funny. 👎

I’ve truly tried my best to write thoughtfully and keep things civil on these topics
regarding the pdf, but what's happening here just isn't normal anymore. I'm done trying to argue
with either Chris Peterson53 or rowdyhawk10. They are both incredibly good at making someone else look like an idiot.
My posts are visible to everyone on Reddit, and the moderator posts are too. The ones that aren't, the admins can still see.
I'm not claiming to be a victim, nor am I playing the victim, but I refuse to be anyone's victim. There's a big difference.
I am asking for a timely response from administration; I already reached out to the supermod,
who hasn't responded either.
Otherwise, I'll have to take further steps with the proper authorities that handle these types of cases, where
I'll have to prove allegations of being "obsessed," "targeted by moderator persecution," or "hate speech," and so on.

Thank you.

Justin Peterson13 said:In principle, you've got a point, but I can't quite see how some of that connects back to the forum. I don't think this forum is a federal agency where everything needs to follow a perfectly synchronized protocol. A little creativity and thinking outside the box would actually be good. BUT! there still have to be boundaries.

How can you say that? 😁 It doesn't even matter whether the forum is a government agency or not—we all know
it isn't. What matters are the Rules that aren't being followed. You said... a little creativity and
thinking outside the box would be good, BUT. Yeah, that "BUT" is the Rules or the boundaries.
The same goes for the Protocol; there are Rules and limits there too, yet nobody complains when there's a little creativity during
communication. Just look at statesmen, secretaries
of state, prime ministers, heads of government, etc. Many of them skip strict
protocol rules sometimes, but they never cross the line of good taste. Anyway, let's get back
to the forum. 😁

Those boundaries are set by the admin through their rules, and they protect those lines while guiding the moderators in the right direction. Look at the moderator list. There must be 150 of them. It’s just impossible for everyone to think exactly alike, for everyone to be the same person, or for no one to ever make a mistake. That’s why the admin has to guide them, like a shepherd tending to sheep (sorry for the comparison, it's just what came to mind 😁). With well-guided moderators who share a clear vision for the forum, they can then keep the regular users in line like sheep 😁

To be honest, I’ve never even looked at the moderator list; I haven't really
been interested. 😬
It's possible, totally possible—they're all Borg, resistance is futile, just go watch Deep
Space Nine. 🤣
I mean, the admin has to be Picard or Janeway to catch, say, a couple of rogue mods
hiding skillfully in a space nebula. 😂 Even with all the sensors detecting them.
And I won't say who they are, haha, 😵 because I don't want to get banned again for calling out mods in a thread. I'll
just say they're acting like Ferengi. 🙂

🤣

Justin Peterson13 said:I think you're mistaken. The Administrator holds a lot of sway here. Think of this forum like a corporation. The Administrators are upper management; they set the long-term strategy and the overall forum policy. Moderators, whether they want to or not, have to align themselves with that direction. If there isn't a clear plan in place, then moderators just end up doing whatever they feel like. It’s because the medium itself is chaotic that someone needs to teach their people how to swim through it—so we can achieve creative chaos instead of just pure disorder. 😉 That’s just my take. No offense intended.

I agree. 🙂
Actually, it really depends on a lot of different things. 😉 A plan might exist, and rules might be established,
just like everything is laid out in the forum rule. It's similar to how various laws are drafted in the US,
whether they are constitutional, criminal, or civil. Now, all of that exists
whether it's written down on paper or exists virtually. The real question remains: are those laws and rules actually
followed and enforced, and are they applied equally to everyone—whether in the country or on this forum?
In day-to-day life, we see a different reality quite often.

It isn't just the medium that's chaotic; anything can become chaotic depending on what is being implemented,
whether it's law and order or total lawlessness. Disorder creates chaos, and in times of chaos, it's usually the ones who
created it that thrive. And that shouldn't be called "creative chaos"—it's just disorder. People don't fix the consequences;
instead, they should be daring enough to address the root cause. But "causes" are almost always
hidden within the chaos or disorder, by hiding behind and quoting laws
(often without actually enforcing them, or selectively enforcing them whenever it suits someone). The result is
people feeling miserable and surrounded by frustration, often stemming from a sense of helplessness.
The same applies to management in companies. You can't just create chaos in a firm and expect
to be forgiven for it. If people are going to invoke a Western work ethic, then they should also embrace
the Western way of thinking and how that work is actually valued. Whether you are in management
or any other position in a company. Unfortunately, though, the indicators we see here are more than disappointing in
many cases. We are still far from real examples; a certain outdated, "every man for himself" mentality still prevails.
🥳

It’s the same thing happening here, citing the forum rule, but applying it
only when it serves their own interests. Because they hold moderator authority, they end up creating the very disorder and chaos they claim to prevent.

At the end of the day, you have to wonder: is this perhaps some new forum plan
that the admins aren't aware of yet? 😬 Or maybe they don't want to know, or perhaps someone from the mod team is trying to seize an admin spot
by being "zealous in harassing users and quoting the rules." 🙄 😉

Everyone else is left just trying to keep their heads above water in these chaotic waters.
And the architects of this disorder, carrying their tanks of "oxygen," pull down anyone who is still
struggling to stay afloat. They drown them in disorder by quoting rules that they themselves refuse to follow. 😁

Morgan Rodriguez57 said:rowdyhawk10 is at it again. This time it’s because the mods aren't doing their jobs, yet somehow I'm the one getting a warning for trolling... 🙂

"Trolling (and calling out the moderators above the Book of Complaint)"

Yeah, it's very similar to what happened to me. For instance, regarding this specific text where I was responding to his
really ugly writing—which was basically just tempting and provoking believers—I was punished with a
7-day ban that just expired today. All because of "calling out the moderators on the
thread"! 🙄 I can't even post in the banned users section because the option isn't enabled for me.
I have no idea why.

It would be really helpful if the admins actually read his posts across various
threads so they could see how he targets other users. Especially when he doesn't like
a Catholic presenting an argued case. He starts this cynical taunting, waving around
mod powers like a weapon, using bans or warnings as revenge. Just because "His Majesty"
dared to criticize him, or rather, the text he wrote.

Yet rowdyhawk10 is allowed to do it, hiding behind the rules to justify being rude.
He even admitted to "slapping users in the face" when they complain about the DNC,
saying they act "as if they're going to Clinton instead of the police, or the Book of Complaint PDF." What am I supposed to read in the Book of Complaint?
Over and over again, it's the same thing. It's the same old story, two mods in a row, we all know which ones. ☕

restlesssurfer97 said:I reported your post because you're just trolling. ☕
I'm actually curious to see how Taylor Gonzalez79 handles this. ☕

😂
Whatever happens, happens. I guess I'll just take my chances and deal with the fallout later. 🤣

... here's another way to handle moderating those trolls and sadists, kind of in the same vein as this 😂 🤣

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tB2ZZgbmZ2U

🤣

🤔 then you could actually call it art, and we artists of all different styles 🤣
some even being more on the naive side 😂

I’d definitely give a thumbs up to that corner spot. 😂 Assuming everything doesn't just go completely sideways, that is. 🤣
The idea itself is fine, I guess... but then how would they even get a hold of us? 😬

Just adding my two cents to this thread... regarding that one thing I mentioned before. It’s definitely not something anyone would want to go through.
Look, I don't know who it affects, but I ended up getting a warning. It wasn't from rowdyhawk10, though.
So, regarding the Uranium. Look, I get it. But honestly, my previous post was just taken out of context and used by rowdyhawk10 to... well, you know.
hate speech directed at Muslims 😕...with some pretty terrible accusations leveled against...
Me, and his little comment about how all this "hate" I’m getting is somehow my own fault. Like I only received "just, just, just..." because of it.
Yellow card. 🤦 Is it hate speech if I say that I find it absolutely nauseating when someone...
Who actually does this? Who leaves a mess in the bathroom like that? Honestly, I can't wrap my head around it. It doesn't matter who it is—if someone's doing it, they're just being inconsiderate.
Regardless of what someone believes or doesn't believe, I’d say the same thing: that... cultivate. But then again, that moderator...
It’s my expression. To cultivate. He used them to pull off some serious setups and twists, but which ones?
It’s like they think this should only apply to Muslims. I mean, what can I even say to that?

Then comes the ranting. The constant smear campaigns. Everyone gets labeled a fool or a fanatic just for having an opinion.
To the sick, the hypocrites, and those like them. After spending most of his time...
I'm getting hit with a red card in the off-topic and spam section just because I decided to reply.
Sorry if this is off-topic. I’m just asking him here on this thread—why did he delete my post?
I just got slapped with a one-day ban right out of nowhere. They even gave me a reason, too. On the topic of condemnation.
The moderator. Look, I messed up. Honestly, I didn't mean to call anyone out or try to play police officer here. That wasn't my intention at all.
So, I have a question. Of course, I asked this in the wrong spot—I should have gone to the Book of Complaints instead. But anyway...
They could have just deleted it like any other off-topic post. A one-day ban feels a bit much, honestly. 🤦

Then he just keeps going off on tangents, stirring the pot and looking for more trouble with everything he says.
Well, I guess you finally showed your true colors. Just sitting here, recounting the whole Satori thing—her version and mine.
He’s really making a case for his own arrangement. 🙄 Someone under the handle satori put out a warning that...
I’m about 90% sure I was just being offensive for the sake of it, and honestly, I ended up exposing myself in the process.

So, rowdyhawk10 is starting up again with the mockery, calling people out, and picking apart everyone on the forum.
The insults... yeah, they were all there. Of course, everything was wiped clean once the moderators "cleaned up" the thread, but still.
(visible to administrators and supermoderators). Speaking of my supposed "tolerance"...
Calling other people on this forum names—calling them idiots or mentally ill... it's just not right. It feels unnecessary. I don't really get why people feel the need to lash out like that. It’s better if we just keep things civil.

Evo dijelova spornih postova:

rowdyhawk10:

When you look at those extremists and terrorists—the very people we’re all raising our voices against—they represent such a tiny fraction of the population. We're talking about less than one percent of the Muslim community, which consists of over a billion people worldwide. Standing against them is the other 99%... just regular, decent people who want peace and happiness for everyone. I think we've made that pretty clear right here on this forum, too. We've done our part to distance ourselves from the fools.

And while we’re on the subject, look at what’s happening right now, as we sit here typing this. Look at how fellow Christians in Iraq are being treated. You see them singing their hymns in what they call "Jesus' ecstasy"... but it's tragic. And I'm not just talking about the group of fanatics in that link—though we have plenty of those types right here on this forum, too—it’s the entire American machine. All these allied nations, acting under the pretense of a fake "war on terror" and searching for "Saddam's secret weapons," have been mobilized to launch an aggression against Iraq under this supposed "holy mission." At the top of that machine sits Bush and his inner circle. They all come from the same church. Even Adolf Hitler—based on his own documented words—claimed to be a devout Catholic. I mean, isn't even the symbol of Nazism shaped like a cross? Then you have Italy, which was essentially the cradle of fascism. For decades, European countries were colonizing Africa and Asia, and honestly, they still act that way. They carried out genocides across almost every continent. You only have to mention the Maya and Aztec civilizations, or what was done to the people of Latin America, to see it. Truly, there really isn't any other religion in human history where the followers have spilled as much blood, committed as much genocide, or caused as much violence as Christianity has. Even if you took every other religion in the world and put them on one side of a scale, and put Christianity on the other, the sheer scale of the crimes committed by its followers throughout history would still outweigh them all. It’s not just about what is written in the Bible; it’s about how people actually behave. So, honestly, it might be better to just stay quiet. You are the very last people who should be criticizing anyone else.

It’s probably not our fault as Muslims that you guys aren't building churches, or that you aren't building enough of them. Even the ones you do have in places like Switzerland or Sweden... they sit empty seven days a week, except for Sunday mass. Muslims love their faith and stay dedicated to it. So, wherever there are thousands of us, we feel the need for a place of worship, and we build one. What's wrong with that? I think the reason you're building fewer churches is because you're gradually walking away from your faith... more and more... because eventually, you realize you don't really love it, or maybe you don't even need it. Going to church on Sunday has become more about tradition and habit than actual spirituality or devotion. More and more Christians see where this is heading and look for alternatives... Meanwhile, the word of Islam is alive, and the mosques are full, because we believe in God not out of custom or fashion, but because that's just what faith is. You shouldn't envy us for that; if anything, you should be critiquing yourselves more than ever. We won't trip you up; we'll just encourage you.

Peter Stewart6 says: Look at the post
That's why there was a referendum in Switzerland. It's democracy—you shouldn't get angry about it, right? You should cultivate it.

Oh, here comes our Christian sister in a new light... greeting us so warmly in the tea house.
Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo! 👋

Actually, they finally started... albeit with a small step.

Look. That isn't the point here. We are talking about civilizational achievements, and the topic is Switzerland and the recent referendum. The original post on the first page makes that clear. And we don't want this thread to shift in that direction (because we already have a thread for that).

And you don't need to keep repeating the same sentence; I think I've seen it at least five or ten times in this thread. Okay?

Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo, bravo!

That little side comment about being a "Christian sister in a new light" says everything. I don't think I was
addressing you specifically, or any Muslim believer anywhere, including on this forum. So
I don't accept your "style" of conversation because I find it disgusting.

Yes, what's the problem? I offered a greeting and I will continue to do so, and just because I disagree
with the attacks by uncivilized people in major cities across Europe and the world, that is my right to an opinion.
Just like yours. But unlike yours, I don't disparage Islamic holy sites the way you do Catholic ones. So you've gone a bit too far, at least regarding me.
Besides, your previous posts say quite enough about the rage bubbling inside you.

What's the issue with me agreeing with the decisions made by the Swiss? It's their country
and they have every right to decide via referendum, just as they did. So what?
Are you going to try to lecture me on how to behave and how I call people out??? For what? And besides,
using the plural "we." Speak for yourself, because you're writing for yourself. You aren't a representative of a peaceful Islam,
at least that's not how I perceive you based on these posts. No matter how hard you try, you can't hide it,
your accusations against Catholics keep surfacing. And I am well aware of the insinuations
you use, so as far as I'm concerned, you can just keep on clapping. 👋 Halal. 😁

P.S. It would be more than helpful if you could tighten up your posts a bit, especially since you claim to be a believer.
If you can't see it for yourself, just take your notes to one of your spiritual leaders. Let them walk you through it.
What’s right and what isn’t... it's complicated. Honestly, you're just stirring up religious tension here, whether you want to admit that to yourself or not.
I’m not exactly seeing faith in what they do. If anything, I see the exact opposite—and honestly, more often than not, too. It's pretty disheartening.
It’s not really about "freedom of speech" anymore.

Malevar... look, I’m sorry about that. I wasn't actually aiming that at you—it was directed at her. Honestly, if you read through her posts, they're just so full of hate. I just wanted to give her a bit of a reality check to make her stop and think. In medicine, there's this concept of a shock to the system to jumpstart healing. Sometimes a doctor has to be blunt with a patient to get through to them. So, please, don't take it personally. And just so you know—to answer your original question—I'm speaking to you from the heart here. They're trying to intimidate "us" because their whole goal is to drive a wedge between us. They see how much you crave the truth, and they'll do anything to make sure you don't like us. But believe me, all their efforts are just a waste of time. Best.

That whole "Christian sister in a new light" thing says enough on its own. Honestly, I don't think I even need to say more.
You haven't reached out to me, and you certainly haven't spoken to a single Muslim anywhere—not even on this forum. So, I'm rejecting your "dialogue model." It’s honestly pretty disgusting.

Did you ever actually reach out to me or the Muslim community to explain why you're backing this essentially illegal, violent referendum and its disgraceful outcome? Because now, in Switzerland, it isn't just about banning minarets for those "uncultured people" you mentioned—it’s effectively targeting all Muslims. Even the ordinary people you claim to "greet" with respect. It looks like you’ve finally abandoned everything you stood for. All that talk about a culture of dialogue and mutual respect... it's all just gone down the drain.

As for me, looking at things from the Christian side, I’m not disputing anything that is genuinely good or worthwhile.

Look, if I disagree with the outbursts from people lacking any sense of decency in major cities across America and around the world, that’s just my right to an opinion.

No, that’s not it. It isn't about banning minarets because of some perceived lack of culture. It’s about Muslims, period. Just... fundamentally. If you know what I mean. And honestly, the way you’re mocking this just gives you away. It really casts a shadow over those 2,800+ posts you've put on this forum. Believe me, you didn't even have to go that far.

So, what’s the big deal? I said my prayers, and I’m going to keep saying them. Simple as that.

That’s all well and good, but if you aren't being sincere, eventually it shows. Just like it finally did with you. That last post gave you away. We might accept your greetings—we might even invite you out to dance!—but we won't be left with the bitter taste of a hypocritical greeting just because you chose to say it. When we offer a greeting, it comes from a place of genuine love. If we don't say it, then something simply isn't right.

When you look at those extremists and terrorists—the very ones we’re all raising our voices against—they represent a tiny fraction of a percent. Even within a global population of over a billion Muslims, they are less than 1%. The overwhelming majority, well over 99%, are just regular, decent people who want peace and happiness for everyone. We've made that clear right here on this forum. As for the fools? We've already dealt with them and moved on.

Who actually proved that? And honestly, which idiots were they that you finally managed to get rid of and distance yourselves from?
Who actually got rid of them and pushed them away?

Quote:
Speaking of which, look at what’s happening right now. While you and I are sitting here typing this out, take a look at what some Christians over in Iraq are up to. You see them singing their hymns in that "Jesus-inspired" frenzy... but man, it's tragic. And honestly, it isn't just about the crowd of fools in that link. We have people acting exactly like that right here on this forum, too. Quite a few, actually.
,

Who exactly are these "people"... you know, this "crowd of idiots" from the link... both on that site and right here on our own forum? What's the deal?
Are you even listening to yourself, man? You’re out here calling people idiots—by what right, exactly? Seriously.
Is someone actually moderating you with statements like that??? And then there are those remarks—"completely,
totally, absolutely... if you understand what those words mean"—directed right at me (I wasn't quoting, but they were in the previous
post). What kind of conversation level is that? In my book, that’s an automatic red card with at least 35 penalty points.

Honestly, you should just stay quiet because you're the LAST person who should be criticizing anyone else..
.
Quiet before whom? Before you, making comments like that??? Your posts are
nothing but pure criticism, disparaging Catholicism and spreading hate. So
it would be wise if you took a moment to think about that.

Did you ever actually address me or the Muslims because you support this essentially illegal and violent referendum and its shameful result? Because now in Switzerland, it isn't just "uncultured people" (as you put it) being banned from building minarets, but ALL MUSLIMS. Even the ordinary ones you "greet with a selam." So you've finally shown your true colors. All your talk of dialogue and respect... it's all falling apart.

As for me, on the other side, I don't dispute anything within Christianity that is truly good and worthy.

Regarding the "uncultured people," read my exchanges with Sofiapolis; that's what I mean when I say "uncultured." OK? And please, keep those angry outbursts of yours—the ones where you just want to pick fights and divide people—to yourself. It’s all falling apart, just like your supposed culture of dialogue and respect, which was visible in these posts and previous ones. A wolf changes its coat, but never its nature.

It's more than enough that you dispute and disparage the Cross, which is the greatest truth, even equating it to Nazi imagery in your last post. It's shameful.

Quote:
No, no. Minarets aren't banned for "uncultured people," they are banned for Muslims IN GENERAL, COMPLETELY, TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY... if you know what those words mean. And your gloating (above) gives you away. It casts a shadow over your 2,800+ posts on this forum. And believe me, you didn't even need to write that.

The "shadow" belongs to you, so it won't stain my heart or my 2,800 posts, which
you probably envy. That's why you wrote that sentence about whether I should or shouldn't
have said something. From the very beginning, you've had it out for me, starting from my first entry
in the PDF.

Quote:

That's nice, but if it isn't sincere, you'll eventually be exposed. Just as you finally have been. That post above revealed you. And we might accept your "selams" (maybe, we might even invite you to dance!)—but the bitterness of a hypocritical greeting doesn't stay in our mouths because you're the one who uttered it. When we say selam, it comes from sincere love. If we omit it, it means something is wrong.

Man, I have nothing to "reveal." I am who I am, and I write how I write.
I'm not acting, unlike how you are acting toward me here and before. And write for yourself, not
in the plural. When you give me a selam, it isn't a real selam, capisci? Because you don't have sincere
love for me; as for others, I don't know. It's just hypocrisy. Because in many
instances, you omitted it in our correspondence, which I pointed out to you.
So something really is wrong, but with you. I responded to you out of politeness anyway,
reminding you that I shouldn't have, since you didn't offer a selam, and the rules of etiquette forbid responding
to someone who doesn't offer one. Properly speaking.
But I did it anyway. And you see why. It's wonderful how you accuse me like this, so sincerely, just like
your true opinion of me. I grant you halaal and send you my selam.

Edit: rowdyhawk10, why was my post deleted and why did you give me a red card? Why is this being hidden?
Besides, I'm not gloating; I have a right to my opinion, and this is just an unfair provocation on your part.
I'll feel sorry for you because you've exposed yourself.

You really showed your true colors after all.

Look, you're already in off-topic territory, so let's not clutter this thread any further. Honestly, the way you were gloating over those referendum results was just unfair and unkind, but whatever. Let's just move on. Let's give everyone else a chance to weigh in.

You spend about 90% of your time in off-topic threads, insulting people and acting like a know-it-all.
It's just that you act so arrogant because of your moderator status, deleting everything that doesn't suit you...

And then, while being super condescending and clearing out off-topic posts, you keep doing the same thing with this attitude of "I can do whatever I want because I'm a moderator."

Dear rowdyhawk10, you're actually the one who showed his true colors... I say that with a heavy heart.

Okay, so now you're upset because I deleted your off-topic post (the one where you claimed to prefer atheism because "believers are full of hate") and later when Peter Stewart6 replied to that post, since what you were saying wasn't actually true. Both of those posts were definitely off-topic.

What I actually wrote was a response to a hateful outburst that equates Islam with the Inquisition while glorifying Christianity as something inherently peaceful. That's the post right here—me trying to prevent a biased and generalized image from being painted, which would then be used to cheer on the Swiss referendum in this thread, under the logic that "Islam is generally violent," so therefore "we, the peaceful Christians, have the right to ban minarets used for calling to jihad"... or as Morgan Rodriguez57 put it earlier, that "mosques truly serve as training grounds for radical Islamists..."... What else am I supposed to say to them?

I responded to that controversial post to point out that isn't how it works... I just offered a little reminder of history... that the Inquisition isn't the only thing on the conscience of those spitting on people like this; there's so much more from this century and the last (as I mentioned before). And then the off-topic chaos started (here comes my analysis of my own work). And naturally, every off-topic post will be wiped out, including my response, the second she reads it. Just like your post, and my reply to it.

Can we please just let the discussion continue, Satori?

So, I am kindly asking the administrators to look into this and take action against
this particular moderator. Please apply the same standards used for all
other users on this forum, and strip him of the immunity he's managed to build up to
act however he wants without consequence. He told me days ago that I could file a complaint,
but that I'd need a lot of luck, and I won't go into the "categorization" of those
who complain. 🙄 It’s honestly sad. After I've spent so much time apologizing to this
moderator, overlooking his insults and belittling behavior, reaching
out, and being genuinely kind, he just gets emboldened, loses his temper, and starts this whole routine again.
Much like in Switzerland, I find myself wondering: where is the limit for my tolerance and the tolerance of other users on this site?

I also ask that you evaluate what truly constitutes hate speech and which side it's actually coming from in these instances.
This is actually the first time I’ve heard my posts being flagged for hate speech. And honestly, I’m not the only one getting that label on
this particular thread. It seems like I’m practically an expert at "hate" since apparently nobody can keep up with me—at least, that’s how
the moderator put it when talking to someone else who was also accused of "hate." 🙄

Thanks.

Jamie Reyes73 said:It doesn't matter—I'm just glad you are... it feels like it's been quite a while since we last caught up here on the forum. 😘
I agree with that assessment—wouldn't add a thing.

That "at all" isn't actually mentioned in the religion section—and honestly, his entry isn't exactly well-researched either...
I don't care for his perspective at all—which is exactly why I’m reacting, since I know what's really going on.
And this is how they fight... just so they can talk trash to whoever they want while the moderators give them a slap on the wrist.
As far as my perspective goes... well, that’s exactly what "they" are after—my "personal opinion"—though this is really just psychoanalysis at this point. 😬 )...

😢
To me, a five doesn't mean anything here. 🤣
Regarding Mostly—if rowdyhawk10 were to head over to you right now, I suppose—though I might be talking nonsense here—it could potentially look like justice.
But then again, someone might argue... well—if rowdyhawk10 were here right now, this would be a completely different story. 😁
Of course—I feel that same void in religion that Mostly does.
As for those Muslims who decided to leave... honestly, it’s probably for the best.
Enough with that kind of idiocy—and that specific brand of culture (I think you know exactly what I mean).
I mean, you wouldn't find that in the middle of nowhere—let alone in some imaginary utopia. It’s just... me.
It’s a shame a few people have decided to latch onto some narrative about injustice...
I took a look at them over on that certain "free" forum... they're honestly pathetic.
The vocabulary they use—coupled with such obvious malice—is striking, especially since they can barely stand one another...
But hey, if they're enjoying themselves, I won't step in to interrupt their little "learning experiences."

As for the picnic... consider it my own reflection in the mirror—that was almost entirely me.😬
In RL, I rarely find myself getting worked up over topics like religion...
Thank God the folks here aren't particularly religious...

Is that really how it looks? Hmm, I'm sorry you feel that way... if you actually considered me a friend, you might
refrain from comments like that...
Personally, I'm not looking for any special treatment—I just want to be treated like everyone else.
More importantly, I wouldn't want anyone to end up in a position where they
have to justify themselves to someone... even if it's in a courtroom.😁

Sending kisses and regards from all of us...
Go ahead, keep picking at me.

😘

The word "at all" isn't even mentioned in the religion section, and honestly, his entry isn't exactly well-informed either...
I honestly don't care for his views at all, which is why I'm reacting. Because I know exactly what's going on.
So this is how they fight... just so they can act out whenever they feel like it, while the mods just sit there patting them on the back.
So, that's how it is... that's what "they" want. My personal opinion? Honestly, this is just the beginning of the psychoanalysis. 😬 )...

I don't know, honestly. But looking at the DNA of this forum, anything is possible. 🙄
rowdyhawk10 would probably give you a whole lecture right now about how this is a "free forum where everyone" is allowed to say whatever they want.
I can write whatever I want, but if you don't like someone else's perspective... honestly, I just don't know.
Where would I even send you to write? I know how I am. ;lol: Pride, and then Kartonche for that too.
Maybe try some psychoanalysis on it, then we'll see. Honestly, I just don't even know how to punish this anymore.

😢
To me, a five doesn't mean anything here. 🤣
Regarding what rowdyhawk10 said... if Shady were to step in right now, maybe—I don't know, I'm just rambling here—it might look like justice.
But then again, someone might just say... well, if rowdyhawk10 were here right now, things would definitely be looking different. 😁
Of course, I feel like Mostly is missing from the conversation regarding religion, just like you do...
As for those Muslims who decided to leave... honestly, it’s probably for the best that they did.
I've had enough of that kind of stupidity and that specific type of culture (and I think you know exactly what I'm talking about).
I mean, you couldn't find something like that in the middle of nowhere, let alone in some imaginary fantasy land. It just doesn't exist to me.
It’s a shame how some people just jump on any story about injustice to get themselves worked up...
I'll just head over to that random free forum and read through them... honestly, they're pretty pathetic.
With that specific vocabulary and all that blatant hostility... it’s pretty obvious they can't stand each other.
But they're doing fine on their own, so I won't step in or try to get in the way of what they're learning from their experiences...

Petica was actually on your side regarding that text. You’re still trying to play it up as if it’s some kind of provocative picnic vibe. 🙂 🤣
But you're just talking nonsense—you actually wrote that yourself—when you claim that's what justice would look like to me.
rowdyhawk10 is heading out now. I actually really like him, especially when he starts picking fights and trying to set the record straight.
Exactly as it is, and honestly, you have to know that too. ;D It all just depends on what he’s currently obsessed with.
I don't know... I guess men have a transition period too, you know, with all that androgyny stuff. 😬
Women have them too, it just goes by a different name. ;zvrko:
Do I miss Mostly? I think I'm not the only one who does. 😢

Regarding what you wrote about Muslims... I honestly don't know if someone is trying to get themselves into trouble here or what. I can't tell.
Yeah. It’s about that certain "type of culture" some people have, just like you see in pretty much every other thread. Specifically on the off-topic boards.
I just wrote down my thoughts on the matter. I wonder if you think that kind of thing isn't even mentioned in "Vuk..."?
I mean, if you think that's as close as it gets, you're mistaken. There's stuff even closer than that. If you actually take the time to read through all the different threads, you'll find plenty of info.
From the vocabulary they use to the sheer spite, the intolerance, and all those so-called "constructive" little comments. 🙄
The complaint book pdf religion is similar to this for many forum users:

I can't really watch videos directly here, but if you tell me what's happening in it or paste a transcript, I'd be happy to give you my thoughts on it. Just let me know the gist of it.
Some people hold back when they try to run things here on the forum, while others just explode. Reactions are all over the place.
It all comes down to the manager. ;lol:

As for that picnic... it’s basically just a reflection of me. That’s about all I am; just a bit of a mess. 🦷
In real life, I rarely get this worked up about topics like I do when it comes to religion...
Thank God, none of these people here are actually believers...

If you say so. ;D
Since when did you start giving thanks to God? ;confused:
And right away, the analysis starts. Kartonche. ;rofl:

Is that really how it looks? Hmm. I'm actually pretty sorry you feel that way... at least you could have...
I've had to deal with comments like that before, if you actually consider me a friend...
Personally, I don't want any special treatment. All I'm asking for is to be treated just like everyone else.
First off, I really wouldn't want anyone to end up in a situation because of me where they...
I guess I have to explain myself to someone... Honestly, I'd rather take it to court if that's what it takes. 😁

Well, sometimes it just feels that way. You feel bad about it, and honestly, I do too. Look, if I consider you a friend,
Well, if you're going to call me out too, then I guess it’s only fair that I speak my mind. Why bother holding back a comment?
What exactly is so terrible about it? I don't get it. Honestly, normally that would just be seen as a privilege because of a friendship.
So, I guess there’s really no point in asking for special treatment. If you just act right, you get treated fairly anyway, without having to make a thing of it. That's just how I see it.

I'm with you on that. Honestly, let's just take it to court if we have to. Let the mods handle it, and we can just sing our partisan songs. ;lol:

Sending kisses and greetings from the nine of us...
Alright, go ahead and give me more trouble then...

Who sent me all these kisses and greetings? ;zvrko:
I'm not going to give you a hard time. 🤣 I'm not trying to be a jerk, friends. 5️⃣ 💋

Jamie Reyes73 said:It’s interesting to me—given how much time I’ve spent hanging out on this forum.
It looks like it might be around the halfway point—or maybe even further—in that complaint book pdf religion...
I don't need to be a moderator to know that much—honestly. The rules of the game. According to them—if you can trust their word.
I checked everything—tried to see if my card was actually valid or not...

It seems like you’re suggesting I actually want to change the forum rules—as if that were my intention.
He’s psychoanalyzed the other forum members—though I suppose that's just what happens when you spend too much time reading bolded text.
I find it hard to believe that "arguments" like, 'Islam is sacred' or 'everyone is equally wrong,' will actually hold any weight.
We might be right—it could actually spark some constructive conversation, and more importantly, maybe even drive some real change...

It’s none of my business—nor am I particularly interested—where you choose to write during your free time.
It’s really more about the quality of writing in that complaint book pdf religion—and the moderators you have to deal with while navigating it.
I’m fairly in agreement—they aren't gods, so they aren't exactly sinless either. 😬 But seriously—
That’s why they're so helpful when it comes to explaining things and stepping in—honestly, what more could a person ask for? 😉

P.S. And yeah... I’ve had those same "malicious" moderators hand me a penalty card before, too. 😉...

Look, Jamie, 😁 I just have to say something, even though this isn't about my own post.
What exactly are these rules of the game? Forum rules and moderation policies should
apply to everyone equally, right?

You're actually trying to change the forum rules because from what I can tell, you'd love to
psychoanalyze the other users (it's pretty obvious from the bold text)...
I don't think "arguments" like 'Islam is sacred' or 'everyone else is wrong,
but I'm right' are going to lead to any constructive conversation, let alone actual changes.

And what is this post of yours, if not psychoanalysis? Just an owl mocking shadows. 😬

It doesn't concern me, and I honestly don't care where you spend your free time
but I do care about the quality of writing in the Religion PDF and the moderators, whom I
actually agree with quite a bit... they aren't gods, so they aren't perfect, 😬 but they
are very helpful when it comes to explaining things and assisting... what more could anyone want? 😉

😉
Khhhm, yeah, true, you really are begging for the mods to explain things to you. The quality has suddenly
"jumped up," you can see it in every thread; some Catholics are struggling over in Religion.
They aren't done yet. Some Muslims have stopped posting, and it's all moving toward a certain "level." 😛
How could you disagree? It's like being a customs officer at a picnic, handing out warnings for every little
infraction. If Mostly were here, it would be a different story. 🙂
Sit down, Jamie, that's a 5. ☕

p.s. and yeah... those same "mean" moderators hand out warnings to me too...😉

Oh, please, it's like, hey Jamie, why don't you start whining now while we give you a warning, just so others
can see. You won't get any sympathy from me. 🤣

Since I wasn't able to get back to you on that complaint book pdf religion (in the meantime...
The thread is closed, anyway. I've been publicly called out for "censoring PDFs and threatening Christian values."
😲 Just following up on what Hi-Fi said, picking things back up right after the Wild West stuff...
I'm with Hannah Thompson2 on this one. That was written by the moderator rowdyhawk10, which is honestly pretty sad.
So, I wanted to jump in here and respond, mostly because I find myself agreeing with what ruggedeagle10 wrote.
Without having coordinated anything with him or anyone else via private message (which happens quite often...)
Given how that moderator builds their arguments, I can't say what my response would be. In my case, there just isn't anything to respond to.
That moderator really ought to know better and show some respect, instead of just throwing us all into the same bucket as the people who actually caused the trouble.
They probably already know exactly who they're talking about when they make a claim like that. 🤷
I'm not trying to push for "censorship," and I don't consider myself "under threat," nor am I suffering from any kind of "Christian" bias.
I'm not trying to cause any trouble or create threats. Just so we're clear, I'm not trolling the threads, I'm not cloning accounts, and I have no intention of disrupting the work being done here on the forum.
The administration and the moderators... I don't think so, at least not really. But if I were to include the specific post number for that complaint, then maybe.
I don't see a designated spot like this as something that would cause interference or stir up any kind of chaos or riots. Rather...
I just have this desire to finally see some real promotion happening—to actually see an admin step up, own their mistakes, and genuinely try to fix things.
Get rid of it. It would be only fair if the moderators actually realized that and accepted it as an absolute fact.

I didn't stop writing in that complaint book pdf religion, mostly because I felt like I was being targeted, but...
Just because of the reasons ruggedeagle10 mentioned in the text above. It's honestly pretty sad that...
He's allowed to act like this? rowdyhawk10's selfishness has honestly gone way too far. Moderator Veronica.
He’s basically following the moderator's lead, but he hasn't quite caught up yet, even though he's trying his best. 🙄
Threatening users with partial bans—just hoping the admin will eventually lift them—or going straight for the permanent ban.
(To be read in the complaint book) These are just pathetic. It’s exactly like those insinuations that some guy has been a forum member for months now.
ruggedeagle10 is "creating panic in the threads." I'm not here to act as a lawyer or try to organize anyone, I'm just speaking up because...
I don't want to keep starting new threads about complaints regarding moderation, and this one is still open.
How can I get in touch with the moderator in charge? 🤷
Is this kind of conversation actually what we call tolerance and being welcoming?
So, what exactly is rowdyhawk10 pushing for here? Is he just trying to shut down anyone who wants to speak up about what's bothering them?
And on top of that, the moderator is actually citing the forum rules?

The same moderator writes two massive posts just to explain why he wasn't being off-topic (responding to feralpilot0), yet if any of us regular users spoke to him that way, we’d probably catch a permanent ban with some pretty nasty reasoning thrown in for good measure.
www.catholics.org because "this isn't a religious forum." 🙄 So, I guess he can say whatever he wants, even in the off-topic section.
And us regular forum users just have to sit here and take all of it. On top of that, there are these constant insinuations that we're trying to tear the forum down, or even worse, that we're trying to group up against everyone. 🙄

Like I mentioned earlier, they’re accusing me of something really low, something I didn't even...
It hasn't even crossed my mind. I'm definitely not the only one who ended up in a conflict with him—there were two of us.
The moderators I mentioned... they just make people look like fools with how they act, and...
I don't want to take advantage of whatever situations might arise. A lot of people have already left.
It was in the complaint book pdf religion from before, and even more recently. And they aren't Christians. So what's the actual issue?
Or who else? It’s just not possible that such a huge number of people would leave just like that. There has to be a reason behind it.
That's how we got here. We really need to start treating the cause instead of just chasing the symptoms. The symptom is...
People getting kicked off the PDF. The reason remains the same: sheer rudeness and a total disregard for the human spirit.
It's just people who lack any actual spirit imposing shackles on others while pretending they possess it.
In the end, they wrap it all up in cellophane, claiming it's about "not following the rules,"
as if saying, "Yeah, we felt free to trample you..." or "We forced you to leave on your own." That’s just
a scheme where they hide behind the guise of pacifism 🙄 while actually employing
intimidation and blackmail—preceded, of course, by sweet talk.
What else is blackmail if not claiming they can defend their faith, rather than never, never, never, and
the RKC, which is already embarrassed enough as it is. What else was I supposed to expect after that besides what I got—psychological harassment via the PDF? Just because I stood my ground. There’s plenty more of that happening, though I won't say more. ☕

Now, a different situation is unfolding: appeals to "goodwill, learning, and getting to know one another." Why? Probably because they realized they went too far, so now they're trying to patch over the holes with
some cheap gum and a little bit of smoke and mirrors, hoping nobody notices before the next opportunity comes along. 🙄 People aren't fools. To some, it might
seem like they are, but they aren't. You're only as much of a fool as you allow others to make you. Even then, you're not really a fool, but let those doing it live in the delusion that you are. The truth is something else entirely. ☕

P.S. Of course, there are moderators and super-mods on this forum whom I have interacted with respectfully. I still respect them. They know who they are; if names are needed, I'll provide them. In every grain of wheat,
there are parasites, and this isn't any different.
But I won't go hunting for them; someone else is responsible for that. And I don't want to generalize, whether regarding the moderation or
anything else.

Best.

🤔 Khhhm, that's too bad. Maybe the boss will give you a promotion, redmarlin3 🤷 (assuming you didn't forget that I was the one who told you). 🤣 Then maybe I'll get a promotion myself. 😂

Best. 👋

feralpilot0, obviously I'm not silly enough to think it was written exactly
just like that, hehe. 🤣 No, joke or not, it’s just unpleasant to read. I don't really care to
get bogged down in sentence structures, who meant what or didn't mean what, or any little digs at how naive
individuals on this thread might be. So, let's skip the jokes, Peter Stewart6, it isn't working.
Nice try but bad choice. 😬
The main thing is that you reached out to the mods here before the thread was locked, which means people actually are reading this.
And that was Wild's question. 😁

Best. 👋

Edit: rowdyhawk10, there are other "fine" (your favorite term 😁) threads (not just List ... 3),
so your defense case doesn't really hold up here. Best. 😬

Thanks for the info, I'm going to go report this to the system admins. 🙂

Yeah, it's definitely visible. As for who actually caught it or missed it, I couldn't say—but I certainly did.
So, your "I bet nobody noticed" part doesn't really hold up. 🙂

Thanks for the info, I'll go let the sysadmins know. 🙂

No worries at all. Honestly, what I read just left me feeling pretty grossed out. 🤦
