Also, I thought the @ symbol denoting personal child discussion, like parenting and pregnancy questions. I don't think we use it just because there happen to be children referenced in the post, do we?
What bothers me is that we JUST discussed what mods could censor and what they couldn't. "Posts that may be sensitive to pregnant ladies" was NOT one of the categories we allow to be censored.
This has nothing to do with party. That's just laughable.

When all this election stuff was going on, I didn't see what the big deal was. I guess we were never really "moderated" on my local and I was never a witness to any mod related incidents on the national boards. Now I see a bit more. I think it WAY over steps to change the subject line of someone's post. Way. While I guess I'm glad that boards are "locked down" now, I would hope no mod will be doing anything like this in the future...

I don't recall anyone calling Pixie names - that was what i was referencing. Anyone can be mad at what I did- that's fine- discuss it like an adult- and don't us name calling... that was my reference - how funny it is when someone who claims to be left, bleeding heart, etc, finds it OK to call someone an idiot b/c they don't agree with something... it's pretty simple.
i have apologized ... the issue is over re: what I changed (which was quite minor, as I wrote earlier)... it's the name calling- and now ganging up, that I truly love about this board... keepin it real.

For the record, I didn't say you are an idiot. I basically said your action was one an idiot would make. Hence, "Like an idiot". But I know that wasn't cool of me. See my previous post in this thread.

Pretty much, strawberry. Now she's all defensive and declaring the matter over.
Honestly, that's the only thing worse than a passive aggressive apology, when the person who screwed up decides for the offended party that the matter is concluded.
Dude, just take your lumps. It will blow over on its own if you do.
and don't us name calling... that was my reference - how funny it is when someone who claims to be left, bleeding heart, etc, finds it OK to call someone an idiot b/c they don't agree with something... it's pretty simple.
this is ridiculous. People who "claim to be left" can't call someone an idiot? And / or calling someone an idiot is something only someone on the right should do?

This response only proves person isn't fit to be a moderator. You kinda have to have some "moderation" and be above the fray, not leap into it with both feet then claim persecution based on the fact that no one agrees with you.
I'm with HAB and hj, I thought it was pretty clear that we wanted very minimal moderating/editing/deleting. Okay, it was a minor change, but that's not the point.
So Goldie, you're a Republican? Conservative? I thought y'all were in favor of small government. Fewer central regulations & interference. Personal responsibility. Whatnot.

Conservatives - anti regulation except for uteri and messageboards!!
I appreciate Dylanite just apologizing for being in the wrong about name calling. Nothing beyond just the apology to justify his actions. I think Goldie needs to take notes on how to give a proper apology.
Goldie should not have edited that subject line, and when she did she should have owned it. We should never be in a situation where something was edited and it's not clear why or by who.
But with the change in overall mod permissions, she can't mod anywhere but the multiples baby board anymore. Problem solved.
