I'm having a hard time understanding what the rules of decorum are here, particularly in light of an edited locked thread which runs something like this bit that I have endeavored to anonymize; this from a post by PlayerB: From: PlayerA
(edited) [this was the moderator's mark completely erasing whatever PlayerA said]
You are the root of so much woe in SL [PlayerA]. Someday people will see who the true enemies of our world are. You are a liar and a criminal. Your crimes here are massive to the point of mind boggling. Your deception with alts is famous and your skill at manipulation is acute as an instrument of social death. Remove your many masks and step into the light if you are not afraid of being blinded. Create instead of destroy. Build instead of bargain. Script instead of scripting wild tails from your many personalities. I am sick of your brand of deception and those who would be you. [...] You are less than nothing. And the reason cited by the moderator for eliminating PlayerA's original post and its quotation in PlayerB's response was Reason: to remove personal attack. Please forgive me if I am missing something here, and I do admit that I've seen this only after moderation, but what sort of personal attack could warrant elmination but leave that response intact (and locked). If the paragraph above doesn't count as a personal attack, what possibly could? I don't know or care about PlayerA, PlayerB, or whatever they were bickering about. But the moderation struck me as being a mite uneven. |
