in reply to a message by Megan
It's gotten to the point where it's almost comical. If I see a message that's been posted before I think to myself... "Okay, here comes the fury...3...2...1..."
It's not just about reposts, either. It's spelling and grammatical errors, posting too much, messages on the wrong pages, etc. What the "police" don't realize is that by multiple people replying in an effort to stick it to the offender, they are actually pushing the posts down the board even more (which is the very thing they are allegedly trying to avoid).
There is a lot to be said for taking a deep breath and moving on.

We do realize that the posts get bumped down, actually, which is why there is usually only ever one post pointing out whatever is being addressed. This post was an exception.
I have to ask what your point in replying to this thread is other than to be gossipy and backbiting. If you have a problem with me (as you clearly DO) please, let ME know instead of this. It's annoying, and frankly, immature.
The majority of people do let it go, but often, what you refer to as "the police" will point out the error of the OP so they KNOW FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. Why doesn't anybody ever consider that? I know if I'm new to an online community and don't know what I'm doing, I would be grateful for someone to point out my missteps sooner rather than later so I don't keep making them. But clearly that just wounds pride.
And calmly and factfully pointing out whatever we do is not the same as "fury" so that's really uncalled for. It'd be one thing if I had made my reply to SuzyQ like this, "You idiot, can't you scroll down the page? We've already talked about this ten times. Are you blind?" or something. THAT would be fury. It's also completely not what I said.

Good thing this thread isn't pushing others down the board!
It so funny how you feel the need to keep explaining and explaining and explaining yourself. And then you reply to each individual post in an effort to prove how each point made by the other person is wrong.
Do you not see the irony here? By tonight this thread will be a mile long (mostly due to you)... the very thing you wish to avoid.

The only reason I keep replying is because I can't stand the attitude of snots like you. I see the irony, but as mirfak said, this is an age-old debate and better to hash it out now than later. Mirfak (who is a moderator, btw, in case you didn't notice) invited discussion of the problem here. Excuse me for participating.
I don't need to keep explaining myself but when immature people try to act superior, I get a little tiffed.
I'm done.

I see. So, now you resort to name-calling.
Is that what you meant when you said that you
"calmly and factfully pointing out whatever we do..."
Your classiness astounds me.
