ok in the interest of transparency i'll explain my choices. then we're going to shut this down and if anyone else wants to talk about it i will be happy to talk about it in pms. this kind of ongoing debate is never good for the forum

(1) weird and qwerinty have a long history of making GBS threads up threads and then when someone gets mad and reacts they complain about the way they're treated. this isn't an isolated incident. they knew they were trying to antagonize people and it's completely disingenuous for them to act surprised or hurt that people get mad.

(2) when i give someone a warning that's me giving them an opportunity to stop what they're doing. easily 95% of people who get those kinds of warnings from me are thoughtful and then there's no further consequence. it's important to note that there's nothing that says that i have to give warnings. i just like to give people an opportunity to make better choices because i don't like to just walk around smacking people all the time and i really believe that most people want to do the right thing. i also prefer to treat people with respect no matter how badly they're treating me. weird and qwerinty came into a feel good thread and poo poo it up. I gave them a warning but instead of stopping they kept it up. in contrast, luvcow immediately apologized

(3) i've sat here for a minute and thought about whether i should probe luvcow, but i've never before probed someone for insulting someone the first time without giving them a warning first so to do it now wouldn't be consistent with how i've treated people in the past.

i hope that you believe that i do the best i can to be as fair as possible to everyone despite their history here, but i'm human so it's literally impossible for me to be perfect in every situation.

if weird and qwerinty choose to return and contribute in a positive manner they are welcome, but given their choices, if they continue to behave this way i will continue to shut them down. anyone who wants to talk to me about it please feel free to message me. i definitely want to know if i'm making bad choices


Thank you for the beautiful sig Machai!
