I can't tell what your [sic] upset at. This thread or your threads for not taking life.
From the ATS T&Cs:
1f.) Relevant Content: You will not post messages that are clearly outside of the stated topic of any forums nor disrupt a forum by deliberately posting repeated irrelevant messages or copies of identical messages (also known as "flooding").
From Simon Gray:
We've seen a recent rash of new one-line responses to posts that add nothing to the flow of discussion.
One Line or less Responses or "me too" atta-boy comments contribute nothing to the discussion. These include rows of smilies, "you're wrong", or other similar short responses.

I'm curious why your activity in other forums is any more relavent [sic] than my or other members activity in this forum.

So, all this talk of spooning, where does that fit in to the thread topic? And to my mind, adding some carriage returns so a post isn't "one-line" should result in the post being considered one line, and dealt with accordingly.

You know, there are a lot of things I am sick of. But, I am never sick of people being kind and being polite. Heck, they don't even have to be kind. As long as they display manners and tact when they post.
Maybe manners aren't something that are of worth these days as well.
First of all, spooning is an important topic in the gratuitous use of kindness. Spooning could very well end all wars one day.
On a more serious note my use of spooning is a form of allegory (the other Mods and astute members such as Chissler know this I'm sure.)
People could be less dramatic. Case in point, a public and dramatic call for the subject of spooning and those who mention it to be "dealt with accordingly." This thread was about NOT being so dramatic.
Maybe some spooning?

Your post demonstrated absolutely no respect towards me, and the seriousness with which I take this subject.

It saddens and disappoints me that the community I once felt a genuine part of is slowly dying a death by a thousand cuts.
Wait, you are serious about this subject, which is about not blowing things out of proportion and taking things too seriously?
Then all seriousness aside, perhaps you can forgive my pathetic attempts to add some humor into ATS in the face of all this seriousness. You're correct...humor is overrated.
I'll stay quiet and let everyone get back to serious.
That is completely untrue by the way. There are a plethora of boards that have little or no Moderation. ATS is one of the best on the internet.
Show me one that is better.
Hmmm, how did this become a "bash theMods thread" when its about things being blown ot of proportion? Oh, nevermind. I answered my own question.

Why call me "Sir"? I am not, never have been, or never will be a knight of the realm, please point your condescension someplace else.

What I am talking about here, is not the extent of activity, but the direction in which the activity is directed. What exactly prompted the creation of this thread for example? Have you stated anything in the OP that could not have been reasonably added to the "day of kindness" love in. I think not.

More drama, more back slapping, meanwhile, the constant propagation of myths and lies in the real world continues while keen minds are distracted by board drama.

But with all this talk of behaviour on ATS as of late, I need to ask if this being completely blown out of proportion?
