Hi Uri
You are probally correct that emailing the moderators is the correct way to
handle abuse. To be honest although I have used this option once in the past, I
feel very silly. I feel like a sissy who can't resolve his own problems(forgive
me for the word sissy). I think a grown man should not have to run to the
moderators for every little thing. Personally for the two years I have been
here I have seen very few post that I would consider offensive. I think CCC
generally has pretty good behavior, now RGCC is a different story. There are
some things in human nature that we just cannot be shielded from,. Sometimes
you have to accept that there are going to be arguments and disagreements. In my
view only blatant profanity, and a direct attack upon the Person, or ability of
a member should be deleted. Everything else I would allow and encourage. My
post was controversial, because it contained a vieled critism of the actions of
some programmers, nothing was blatantly offensive. It was in complete compliance
with CCC rules. Ofcourse if the moderators did not agree they would have deleted
the post. However in retrospect I probally should have been more careful in how
I worded it leaving out the criminal word. What would not be taken Literally
elsewhere, is often taken very seriously here , this group is hypersensitive,
after being here for two years I should have realized that. And, Ok I am not the
greatest writer in the world? I don't need to apologize for that do I?
