I'm lost. It doesn't make sense to me.

Lisa,

If it helps I could start a thread on how realtors don't add value and you could, you know, ignore it

You most certainly could if that's what you wanna do. I'd probably respond, but if I start throwing poop, the onus for what I say would be on me. Yes?

really? i don't recall take 1...

i thought somewhere along the way that was said somewhere

You all need to learn to differentiate between you are being baited just as much as the rest of the board is being baited.

If you ever feel that you are being baited, it doesn't mean you have to rise to the occasion. That's a personal choice, no?

Well apparantly baiting someone is a violation of TOS and demands some form of action. If the bait is is set, then I think you have the right to rise accordingly. Why let the one doing the baiting have the last word and feel they have the upper hand in such situations.

I think I have seen many people "bait" you Lisa, rightly or wrongly, but I have never seen you, NOT rise to the occasion.

Then you haven't been paying close enough attn

The reason why I say that is I feel it's all personal responsibility. You (generic you here) want to call someone names...go right ahead and do so. But take the responsibility for it and not stand behind 'oh so and so was baiting me'. Its your choice.

Whether or not any threads are started in malice is not the point...it's how they are reacted to that lies with the person doing the reacting. And we can all get along much better once we keep that in mind.

Oh I've been watching closely enough. People being patronised is a form of baiting. Subtle comments with sweet emotes can be just as antagonistic as name calling.

But again, the point I'm making is that even in the face of antagonistic snide comments, the choice to react to it is up to the individual and cannot be used as justification. Personal responsibility and all that jazz.

It takes two to fight. If the other side simply doesn't rise to the occassion, then there's no fight, is there?

If the first salvo isn't fired then there is no need for a reaction. I say prevent that first shot, which is what mods are for, then it's not an issue about the target's reaction.

Conversely, are you saying that if the first shot is fired, it's a free for all with responsibility only to the first person?

How can a mod prevent the first salvo? What exactly do you prevent, the salvo hasn't even happened yet?

[Sheriff Uling 3]

You're lost because you are "Gone!" Hehehehe!!! Why don't you bring your ####### back home... Heheheh!!!

Tom Cruise was in a movie like that. Can't remember the name of it though.

I am not sure if TOS violation is the best term for closing the other thread but it was off topic and the pinned topic at the top of this forum even specifically states that such threads will be closed and members given the opportunity to restart it (hopefully to not go off topic again).

There were repeated attacks (on 4 points), which, according to your own TOS, is NOT ALLOWED. I had to PM 2 mods, AND ask 3x in the actual thread before it got closed.

Oh, but it is very much the point. It has been said over & over on VJ inflammatory posts are not allowed. You can't expect to come on here, guns blazing & start fights in threads...

didn't they already close this thread earlier.-people complaining about the mods/personal attacks etc.

i think it came to this:1- have some respect for each other. 2- the mods don't get involved till it gets stupid. 3-the mods try to cool it before they kill a thread. 4- the mods are the mods coz ewok trust their judgement. 5- this is ewoks site & ewok makes the rules. 6- have some respect for each other.
