Hello Mods

04/08/2012 9:39 PM

http://cr4.globalspec.com/thread/77061#newcomments

Let me tell you something. I've seen plenty of closed threads. Never have I seen members mentioned by name in the little red writing. I think the thread played itself out on it's own..........................as they all do.

I happened to disagree with the OP, as did most of us. The use of OTs isn't too impressive either.

If you guys want to jump into the fray................go for it and post.

This ain't the freaking Wizard Of Oz!

I've got enough people trying to control my life and speach in the real world. I consider this a haven.

Let me know if I'm wrong.

It's no fun being God when you're all alone.

Again, It's not our gig.

I know I can be rude and obnoxious.

I appreciate ALL the support, but I'm fine with the notice.

Cheers.

It's not our gig indeed.

Engineers are a breed. Hell, most of us on here are old or older. Sure it's free......................so what?

So is most of the internet.

I like it here. It's constructive criticism.

I,for one, do not think you are hate filled at all. You've just gone senile. Doesn't make you bad. Fortunately you, like me, have a thick skin. ( and I have a thick head)

"You've just gone senile."

How soon will the moments of lucidity go away, so I won't care?

Those temporary bouts of clarity are a b*tch.

Checking in this morning to see if I was making sense last night. I'd have to say yes. I don't want to return the the days of silent moderator interjection.

This thread is either serious or a joke.......................we'll see.

I consider the thread I was referring to, a bit of a joke. When moderators start attempting to sway the conversation towards what they think is right.................not so funny.

I certainly won't attempt to fight them. A clear understanding of where they're coming from would be nice.

I'd prefer dictatorship over schizophrenia, but either way, if it sucks to be here I'll leave.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again...................the "hands off" approach has been working well.

But it's not my gig.

I, as a rule of tomb make posts when I think I can make some kind of contribution (at least in this site), that I learn to respect...) Science is good , the folks are clever and pro´s! and in other days! I just don't write or if I don't know what is being said I read! It is not rudeness... it´s silence!

The reason I posted this in CR4 feedback, is that whether kfry's post was a good one or not, I didn't feel comfortable with it being used in shutting down the thread. By using the statement "we" will ignore you, and "you" can ignore lyn, in closing the thread, the moderator removed objectivity from the closure. I didn't agree with the OP either.........................it's the principle of it that I didn't like.

No. I wasn't sure what you were saying. I was just clarifying my position.

Hi, I agree with BoneZ: there is no need to jump and comment at each and every opportunity, especially, if the response is not very informative or beneficial. Silence is better!
