Take a big look at all your posts in there.

That poster was obviously joking as a result of this comment -
"And no, this is not a propaganda just because *I* recommend it."

Smilies don't usually dismiss flames, but this and the third post were obviously in jest.

I really hate to defend My Nordland but this does look like a mild flame at least, even with the smileys.

Having said this, I would like to submit the following posts by My Nordland in the thread for consideration, in addition to the one Ruffy posted above:

I feel these are much stronger than the original comment by Meath Street.

As well as this, while swearing is normally overlooked, as long as it is moderation, I believe the letter of the law should be applied in full here. Cabra West very politely asked My Nordland to desist; not only did he refuse, he did so by continuing to swear and flame.

I heard the f word used many times before. Is it considered flame when I use it? Is there anything else on my part besides f word?

Edit: Philosopy, are you dyslexic btw or is there a point why you always misspell my nick?

The statements are flaming. This aside, to quote the forum rules:

The standard for both forums and game is the US movie rating "PG-13". Mild swearing may be tolerated, mild sexuality may be hinted, but explicit or excessive versions of either or both may result in proportional mod response.
Now, as I said above, swearing is normally ignored, unless it is in titles or sigs. Here, however, I believe the posts clearly fall under 'excessive' swearing; especially when considering that a) it was flaming and b) you were asked not to do it.

I honestly never noticed. :p

I would have thought that would earn a slap on the wrist, if anything at all. In all honesty, Ny Nordland, if you came here to make friends, you've gone about it a very strange way. You keep starting these threads, being rude to people, and then running in here to complain the instant anyone says something back. Perhaps if you toned down your own language a little, you wouldn't keep getting all these responses?

But you're asking the wrong person; I'm not going to answer for the Mods. You started this thread; you'll just have to wait for a Mod ruling on it.

CW was complaining that the topic sux. Dont you think it was reasonable to tell her to leave? I dont understand how "then **** leave" is a flame in this context.

Edit: Oh and about the rudeness part, I dont think I've got any obligation to be kind to CW as long as I'm not flaming, especially considering:

"If you don't like the topic I have created, I would appreciate it if you would not comment so that those of us who wish to discuss it can do so" is an reasonable response.

"Just f****** leave" is not.

Actually, it says "you dolt", but normally, the word "idiot" or its "dolt" counterpart is ignored by the mods.

Here's my question - Don't you think it's odd that many people never get flamed and, if they do, it's with extreme rarity. I know you think it's because your beliefs are unpopular or contraversial, but my beliefs on religion are just as unpopular or contraversial. Still I rarely have issues with other posters that require mod intervention.

You, however, have started 10 threads in the past month. Four of them were in moderation and three of them were for claimed flames against you. Don't you think it's strange that approximately one in two of your threads requires mod intervention? Don't you think it's strange that you continually make comments like calling someone dyslexic in moderation or comments about reading comprehension, intelligence, etc. but then suggest that someone calling you a dolt is actionable? You don't notice anything out of sorts with any of this? When are you responsible for events where the ONLY common problem is you?

...like calling someone dyslexic in moderation...
Oh, I don't mind. It was my own mistake. I'd rather he pointed it out than I keep saying it and looking foolish. :p

And I'm not dyslexic...

Again, this is so mild that it's not really worthy of anyone's attention. I genuinely don't understand how you can be so casually rude to people, then expect such high levels of politeness in response.

It's really not hard to be nice to people. Just try to make an argument without responding to expletives, and you'll find that people will be much nicer to you in response. Then, you can have a proper debate, we can all have a good time, and the need for all these Moderation threads disappears.

Let's make that statement an Official Response to Ny Nordland. I've had it with your expectations of perfection from everyone else, but a total waiver of responsibility on your part.

You're done here, NN. Go back to trolling. I'm sure we can count on you to cross the line soon enough - you've certainly skated the edge of it for long enough. Behave, or begone.
