Hi there!
Is it possible to change my username to vividcyclist11?
Thanks in advance!!

Yes, just get in touch with rustydrifter10.

Because we've moved toward assuming this is all part of some perfectly synchronized group effort, those original complaints have been set aside in favor of putting together a list of candidates for the sub-moderator position. So far, the names on the list include:

• Sarah Garcia46
• Lila_sun
• Colbert
• Andrew Sanchez572
• LNP20

If I’ve accidentally overlooked anyone, please do feel free to jump in and let me know.

Certain idioms and proverbs become quite apparent in situations like this—one might suggest: I’ll stick to the woods, while you, bluerider2, take the drum!!
After pages upon pages of text, we have finally moved from a dead end, and the desire for a sub-moderator has at last been understood and accepted.

As for this idea of coordinated group action—well, I am left without any clever or concrete responses there. By suggesting that, you are effectively negating everything written regarding the complaints about the inappropriate level of communication from numerous forum members previously mentioned. In other words, you are refusing to accept the fact that there really is a number of "non-coordinated" participants here who possess, shall we say, "sensitive ears," and perhaps a slightly higher threshold for self-respect and dignity!

From what has been written above, am I to understand that you find it impossible that a few people could have agreed that certain comments became too offensive and rude!?

Sarah Morgan2 said:I'm siding with my colleagues regarding the problematic user known as Paul Price34. To highlight the absolute parody of an "esteemed professor" we're dealing with here, I'll quote this particular sentence: 😂 😂

Yet he, in his capacity as a "distinguished professor," feels entitled to "conclude" whatever he pleases—including dismissing this very grievance...🤣

vividcyclist11 said:Quite simply, clearly, and LOUDLY, we reiterate here on this sub-forum—much to certain people's chagrin, we haven't ended up at the LJES—that some members have become extremely unpleasant when communicating with others.
So, Ms. Paul Price34, we apologize for becoming outcasts and exiles, all because we chose to complain about the incredibly petty behavior and conduct of one academically educated individual.
Your enthusiasm for them doesn't surprise me, especially since your own vocabulary has, on several occasions, displayed an enviable array of colorful insults.
No one present disputes either your knowledge or the omnipotent Abby's, but it seems someone failed in their basic upbringing.
It is truly unfortunate that you view any attempt to introduce civilized and polite communication as something unfounded, senseless, and without purpose.

What more is there to say?

Sarah Garcia46 said:Exactly. And there is no desire here to mention those "senseless individuals" either. In fact, one of them is constantly disrupting the rhythm of Social Science. That is, of course, "Dementia praecox," a clone of "Paul Price34," whom LJES issued a lifetime ban to (in the "Asian Women" thread).

She is tolerated, and no one dares to oppose her because she is unpleasant (or perhaps because she is supposedly an "eminent professor"). Is it not surprising that you haven't noticed she is the very ulcer on Social Science?

How could we have missed it, dear Sarah Garcia46?

There was even some interaction on the pages of this sub-forum with that "distinguished professor," who responded to the opening of this thread with lightning speed... naturally, employing that signature aggressive and insolent tone of theirs.

It seems they labeled the initiators of this thread as "exiles, sufferers, and outcasts," while dismissing the creation of the topic itself as "unfounded, meaningless, and pointless."

Look, if bluerider2 had to address every single complaint about Abyssus... we could probably fill an entire PDF just for the Complaints section 🤷 I get why she deletes stuff or moves it to SIM, or even suggests starting a thread here; honestly, that’s all part of being a moderator.
As for those controversial posts, I imagine everyone would struggle to filter through every single one just to strip out the insults. Besides, even a perfectly clean sentence—meaning, zero literal slurs—can still be loaded with a malicious tone. And then you have to craft a response too. It's a total pain. 😁 😉
Either Abyssus will moderate herself or she'll just leave. 🤷 I doubt bluerider2 can do much to help.

Has there been even a SINGLE warning issued toward her? Has anyone actually seen or read one?

Or does the moderator feel that nothing has been said so vile as to warrant even a simple nudge to suggest a kinder tone?

I believe that is exactly what Sarah Morgan2 is trying to point out—not once has a moderator warned Abyssus about her communication style.

This is truly appalling.
How could she possibly take offense and lash out at my comment like this? I haven't insulted anyone, nor have I been anything remotely disrespectful...

The applause is deafening...😂
I simply cannot fathom how people can act so incredibly condescending, allowing themselves to behave in such a manner...

Ma'am, I am entitled to my opinion. I will state it a hundred more times if necessary. If you find it so unbearable, perhaps you should find somewhere else to post—somewhere where your nerves aren't quite so thin.

Jerry Roberts15 said:Look, I don't think this is just one person's take; it's how a lot of people actually feel,
it's just that most folks—kind of like typical Americans who prefer to keep their heads down—just stay quiet and take this kind of bullying because, honestly, they don't have much of a choice. If you want to find out...
how many people have already been burned on their very first try, right at the first question, and just vanished forever...?

Jerry Roberts15, part of the group endures this harassment because they feel intellectually defeated. They even go so far as to apologize for posting something foolish and disturbing the otherwise calm, polite, and helpful forum members—who happen to be the lead actors in this soap opera.

Others simply walk away from it all, following the logic that the smarter person just lets it go...

Paul Price34 said:Alright, let's keep this short and sweet. I am 100%—and I mean absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt—standing behind bluerider2. Honestly, there are just a few people here who are being totally malicious, twisting things around, digging for dirt, and basically weaponizing bluerider2's genuine kindness and good intentions. In my book, those complaining are really just the outcasts and the losers—you know, the ones who can't handle things and now they're trying to vent their own frustrations and failures on someone else. Bluerider2 is—well, I'd say they're truly exceptional, capable, patient, responsible, and honestly, just way more evolved than most of the folks in a discussion forum like this. So, yeah, that’s my take—this whole complaint is completely baseless, totally pointless, and just plain ridiculous.

Quite simply, clearly, and LOUDLY, we reiterate here on this sub-forum—much to certain people's chagrin, we haven't ended up at the LJES—that some members have become extremely unpleasant when communicating with others.
