You're wrong, Moderator

[Red]

Again, being voted "The Most Magnificent Poster" on this site was quite an honor in light of the fact it was either intended to be a slap down, or another poster was supposed to win. The fact is, I have invited new posters to join this site. They have lurked on the site and learned in a few browsing sessions, what I have known for quite awahile. I have even asked previous posters to come back to no avail. There is an infection in here and it is not me, however I will take some of the blame. Having said that. all in fun. No harm intended.

I just recieved a warning for quoting. Will somebody please explain to me why some posters get away with and why I receive wanrings. Help me here! I did nothing wrong here. Ramon posed a noted regarding his parents and how they feel about illegal immigrants. I quoted his posted and indicated my wife felt the same way and received a warning. What did I do wrong. I am confused.

Save it, Red...you've been asked dozens of times not to quote long articles or long posts by other posters...you have blown it off for months as being careless. Now you whine when you get slapped....

When your responding to a post with no other posts between, there is no reason to quote it.

Great teaching moments, Zebra. She is learning early how the liberal mind works (err.....doesn't).

I know Zebra. He is a great teacher and I am sure his Daughter knows right from wrong. A concept that somehow escapes the liberal mind.

It seems that Wabash is being afforded special protection the more outrageous his bashing on Conservatives becomes.

Any different than Red's daily insulting comments about liberals?

I didn't realize you were a moderator

Yeah... There are Wabash's daily, hourly, and minute-by-minute insulting comments about conservatives...

OH WAIT, that's not different. So, no.

Read my post from this morning: I noted it was time for Paul and Omar to get back into this thread. Like clockwork, anyone complains about the moderating and one or both dance in here to drive the topic off the moderating.

I'm sure the moderators appreciate it because they have yet to address it ( never mind stop it)... So best thing for us to do is laugh at their predictable juvenile antics.

I disagree. I think it is just good manners to post the quote you are responding to. It saves readers from looking everything up. It makes things less confusing when switching to different threads.

[crayegg]

The owner of the site has requested us not to quote unnecessarily. In my opinion, when there is no other post between a response (like this one), it is unnecessary to quote.

When there are multiple posts between your post and the post your are responding to, I think the quote is appropriate, like here where you quoted my short post. Perhaps JQP will give his opinion.

You may feel that way because you don't post much; if you did you would soon realize the importance of using quotes.

Check my edited post.

See, your post was right next to mine this time, the quote was unnecessary.

Some people would be in a major hurt if he disabled the quote function..
Just like he did with the emoticons maybe he should disable it for a few days

You may not do it crayegg, but many other do. I'm hoping they all get warnings. Yeah, that's the ticket. So enjoyable when you post and get a BOARD WARNING. I say the owner of the board either share CLEAR rules that apply to everyone, or don't enforce it at all. BTW, if I make a donation, can I use more cyberspace?

I have to disagree with this, and I seem to recall you weren't too happy about the smiley's being disabled. if there's a problem with any poster for any reason, it should be addressed with that poster, not the whole membership, IMO.

Alrighty now! Not trying to start anything, however is this what I received the warning for? Quoting? I am still confused when I can and when I can't. Thanks for the help.

[Parrotpaul]

Maybe the board should take a summer vacation from the posters...come back for the conventions...might do everyone some good.

You asked me this via PM and I answered your question. You were warned for ignoring the repeated requests of the mods and JQP. I really don't understand why that isn't clear to you or why it's even a surprise. As has been pointed out, this has been going on for months and you've pleaded "carelessness" as the cause. While this might be acceptable as an explanation for past behavior, it can't excuse continuing in that behavior which you have been requested to stop. You've were asked many, many, times. The next step is to give you a warning, which you finally received after much patience on the part of the mods and JQP. As I said in my PM to you, it's only a warning...think of it as a strong reminder to not be careless when you post here.

[SoMelo]

If you explained all this to him in a PM, why the need to repeat it? Is one's ability to comprehend on on open thread any different from a PM?

I've seriously thought about turning it off for a few days. Nothing like having to manually type "So and so said:" to see how unnecessary it is. It should be used for clarity and that's all. It's not a Reply button. Crayegg's absolutely right.
