mod note

if i'm terse and cranky-sounding in this entry, i apologise.
i'm just going to shorten names to A and S, because we know them already

1. A's comment - "I can't help but notice you belong to an LJ community called boy_touching. Maybe you should go back there." like astrokaiju, gryfindormia, and others, i took a look at the community and saw it was 18+, with no porn allowed. so that cancels out A's accusation that S was a pedophile. i interpreted a's tone as "go back to something lesser." that he was implying that being gay is something lesser. i hope that wording made sense.
2. both A and S were awesome posters. we know that. they will be missed. but just because you are a good poster does not give you the right to abuse another member. it doesn't give you the right to insult and lecture another member who has a differing opinion, or posted something you don't like.
it really, really disgusted me going through those entries and comments.

i am thinking of placing a temporary ban, but i'm still playing with it. if this happens, both A and S would be re-instated, to be completely fair.

i just want this to be a safe, considerate, and comfortable community where people can post without being scared they'll be attacked/flamed.

again, sorry for sounding so bitter and cranky. i used italics a lot. dumb me. i'm really tired. some sentences may have come out wrongly-worded. i'm going to bed.

I think [livejournal.com profile] amadoj0nes shouldn't be banned or should be reinstated. But I don't seem to have as many issues as others here, so I don't know.

I think somber_sigh/nocturne333 needs to be ultra high super double secret perma banned from this community... from LJ... heck form the Internets if possible and their computer buried.

No, it doesn't need to be "fair" - it's not the same thing. somber_sigh/nocturne333 is a batshit insane lunatic with serious mental problems. His/her trolling and insane antics and drama queen idiocy across LJ are epic on [livejournal.com profile] stupid_free and [livejournal.com profile] sf_drama . If you remove the ban on them, I almost guarantee you'll be facing the same nonsense all over again inside of a month. If that's the kind of place you want to run and kind of thing you'd like to deal with, fine. But the ban threat doesn't mean much if you're going to generically go back on them *all*.

I rest my case, you nutter. Get some help dude/dudette/whatever. Seriously, you've got more issues than a newsstand.
