Define "neutral mod."

Let's face it, your schtick as a mod was always kinda trollish.

Okay, well first, I need to understand what your definition of a neutral mod is. An example would be good too, but I won't be picky. I already know that you don't like my definition of "neutral mod" so I want to find some common ground first.

Obviously, I disagree with that last sentence since I didn't have a "schtick" and I'm pretty sure I wasn't a troll when I was a moderator anymore than I am now.

You had a schtick.

If I had a schtick it was "not banning people for stupid shit."

So I'm assuming you're not going to answer my questions and this discussion is practically over; I suppose I'm now trolling you.

Ok- you know what- simple question- TGD

Did becoming a mod change your style of posting?

Did stopping being a mod change your style of posting?

Essentially- did you have a schtick as a mod?

Not really. I might have used less curse words maybe. I also actively tried to participate and/or create non-political threads to appease people who though OT was too political (note: it didn't help).

No. I don't think anything has changed (except I haven't created any threads since I got back).

No.

I honest to goodness do not understand what you're talking about here. I do understand that you're annoyed that I do not ban people that you believe troll you. I get that. Join the club. There are a lot of you. Can't do anything about it and wouldn't if I could.

Sym, would you mind stop trolling TGD? It's not cool.

We know that you were annoyed when saxi mentioned how ridiculous your OP was in comparison to the deaths of Arab reporters, but that in no way is trolling, and even if it was, it doesn't justify your trolling TGD.

Are you saying he won the argument with me and I should therefore report him for trolling?

Figuring out what BBS is saying is punishment enough for both of us.

By all means, do so! Report me too for good measure. And report yourself as well.

Lemme know, so that I can follow up with similar series of Reports! This way, our bases are completely covered.

About 50 white Australians organized a "flash mob" to support the "Free Syrian Army" (which is mostly composed of Turkish special forces) in Sydney --

In response, more than 2,000 Syrian-Australians rallied in Sydney chanting "God, Syria, Bashar - that's all!" in support of President Assad and the Ba'ath Party and in opposition to NATO-backed Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism.
