yet here you are............

You are right.. a redunkulous post from the caller or wire like "Al Gore generates more air pollution than coal fired plants" is posted and everyone who thinks it is rediculous  ignores the post because it has no basis in reality. Then the 5th grade taunts start " the hypocritical leftist a choosing to ignore the facts that are as plain as day, proving once again that they support the commie-pinko-bedwetter agenda and are in fact the real Natzis because they quote main stream sources" I don't like the label so I set the record straight.  Then we go back in forth, yes climate change is real, no Obama is not a Muslim , yes there is proof of Russian interference, John McCain is a war hero whatever. But it has no influence on where people land, because folks have made their mind up.

 

 

 

And then a Mod of all people cuts my quote in half and tried to make a funny, that's ok I have a sense too. But all it really does is underscore what an theater of the absurd this forum is.

1.  You are right.. a redunkulous post from the caller or wire like "Al Gore generates more air pollution than coal fired plants" is posted and everyone who thinks it is rediculous  ignores the post because it has no basis in reality. Then the 5th grade taunts start " the hypocritical leftist a choosing to ignore the facts that are as plain as day, proving once again that they support the commie-pinko-bedwetter agenda and are in fact the real Natzis because they quote main stream sources" I don't like the label so I set the record straight.  Then we go back in forth, yes climate change is real, no Obama is not a Muslim , yes there is proof of Russian interference, John McCain is a war hero whatever.

2.  And then a Mod of all people cuts my quote in half and tried to make a funny, that's ok I have a sense too.

3.  But all it really does is underscore what an theater of the absurd this forum is. 

1.  This is a good overall message that everyone (on all sides) can dial things back.  We all have complete personal choice to do so.

2.  Remember the dual hats -- "regular member" is one.

3.  It certainly can be.  Before the last couple of days, this forum was a true pleasure, with soundly respectful expression of opinion.  We can have that again, with just a little "ready, aim, think-before-posting" versus "ready, fire, perhaps aim."  There are a lot of brilliant and thoughtful minds participating in this forum, and these qualities shine through when people simply dial the other stuff back.  It's something to consider.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

But shouldn't moderators be subjected to the same TOS as the rest of the community, regardless of the hat they wear? 

 

What are the chances that a simple mortal member would not have his/her wrist slapped and suspended for telling another member ".... and yet here you are...." Isn't that against TOS, and doesn't it fall under spamming or being hostile towards another VJ member? In addition, isn't that considered "making a comment in a Post direct(ly) or implied toward another member that are purposely designed to upset" said member?

 

Who polices the police?
