3. Just put people who engage in personal attacks on ignore. I usually don't bother moderators. |

those that take personal, or have no desire to engage...
excellent advice.

Plus, I've found that most (not all) people can be asshats in one or two areas but have valuable insights in other areas. I have 7 people on ignore and they had to really, really prove that they had no redeeming features for me. I hate to cut off full dialogue with anyone because I'm not looking to have a choir of likeminded singers agreeing with me, I want people to challenge my point of view. I've learned and changed plenty since being here and I don't see how that would have happened if I put every disagreeable cuss on ignore.

A shrink is saying to a grumpy looking guy on the couch:
"My receptionist has an interesting theory on your case, Mr. Brown, she thinks you're an asshole."

10. I had that argument with a moderator. |
|
I called the poster a liar and the poster altered on me. The moderator said you can't call a liar a liar. So, I alerted on all his posts. About half got deleted, like mine.
Then the poster kept PMing me with nasty e-mails. He stopped when I ignored his mail.
But I still think you should be able to call a liar a liar.

17. of course it is, what a dumb question |

The worst and most cutting personal attacks are the ones that are true.

26. Sorry, but that wasn't true for the personal attacks on me. |
|
They were truly vicious and false. Luckily the poster who did them is now gone.
That person hated me and did everything possible to hurt me. It wasn't political either, but personal. Ugh.

28. But not powerful, cutting personal attacks are true |
|
As a mod, I can safely say that I personally cheered a few PAs that I deleted or supported being deleted.
The new alerting system has really limited the grinding fights that used to commonly occur, but when those were going on it was sometimes easy to see who was being a jerk and who wasn't, even as both sides of the conflict were being deleted for personal attacks and such.
