Since my thread got shut down without a single coherent—let alone argued—response, and since you all know I don't deal in empty platitudes or dodging the point, I’m taking this opportunity to call out the blatant double standards and total lack of decency in the Home & Interior subforum.
I also want to ask: why is it perfectly fine for people on that sub to insult, provoke, and belittle
other users? It’s rude, inconsistent, and frankly hypocritical to let certain people get away with it just because they’re mods, or because the mod hangs out with them during their little morning or evening coffee chats. It doesn't matter if they're posting from an attic, a closet, or a living room while they surround themselves with yes-men—people who are given a free pass on every thread just because they love sucking up and repeating the same mindless crap like, "Oh, that's so nice!" or "I wish I had that!" or "Yeah, that looks great," or even "Ugh, that's gross..." and all that other garbage.
Yet, insults and provocations like this where someone calls another user an idiot go unpunished, not to mention this blatant disrespect here, or this instance here, or this onehere where two "ladies" mock everyone else but suddenly lose it when someone critiques their own pathetic attic Christmas setup—even though they feel entitled to make fun of everyone else's stuff, or when they basically thank each other for being assholes here, or this blatant disparagement here.
And so on, and so forth—I could pile up enough examples from various threads to fill a book regarding outright insults, provocation, belittling, trolling, and spamming...
Also, Tyndall, listen up: whether it's in person or online, in war or peace, face-to-face or through a screen, nobody—and I mean nobody—has the right to insult me or my home. There isn't a single user, mod, or admin out there who can insult me or my house without me absolutely tearing them a new one. That's my right, plain and simple—you can look it up in the Constitution under the sanctity of the home, and no one is going to stop me from defending myself.
I'll say it again: nobody has the right to insult me or my home, calling it some "green bakery" nonsense or whatever. Anyone who tries is going to get wrecked by me, I don't care who they are or where they say it. Their title or their badge doesn't mean a damn thing to me.☕
