NAZI Moderators!!!

[Boozy]

I'm pretty sure this thread has all it can handle, shall we put it down and step away from it ladies and gents?

Amen.

But by the time a dozen people (who had nothing to do with the original dispute I might add) have chimed in with their two cents....the whole damn thing has been blown way out of proportion. Of course the moderators may have felt the need to respond. Why did anyone else?

In my humble opinion: This thread should have died right after the word "Nazi" was used in the title. That's how much credibility there was to this complaint to begin with.

I couldn't agree with you more here. I also agree with what you said about the use of this word in the thread about the preacher.

"Nazi" is the absolute wrong term. It's rude, beyond offensive, and makes the argument fickle and childish.

May I make a request? Can we just close this one down so people who don't pay attention to the last post date and can't resist adding their 2 cents are not able to?
It's not like there's anywhere else for this discussion to go.

The board, and this thread in particular, are pressure valves, so it's good to have outlets on here. It's quite nice to see that people were willing to stand up and defend the way the CS.com is run.

I personally think anyone who really hates CS and its moderators that much should just leave.

The 'net is big enough for everyone. To be honest, I don't understand people who stay where they don't trust the owners or moderators. However, if people choose to stay, it's their choice.

As near as I can tell, Raps' policy is to let anyone who wants to stay, stay - so long as they follow the rules. His site, his choice, if I don't like it I'm free to set up my own CS. As it happens, his policy suits me fine.

As a veteran of message board moderating, I have to say that the modding here (and the other boards) is just fine, but also that by and large the people posting are great too. There's always going to be a little cliquishness, but it looks like it doesn't interfere with the moderation from what I've observed.

Oooh...and to the OP, again...thanks to a cute little link posted by Spiffy, I remembered something that is very relevant here.

Godwin's law:
"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin's_law

and a corollary:
"There is a corollary which roughly states that the invocation of Nazi/Hitler reduces the information content of the thread to zero."

I was about to post that; also, another handy hint on that video; Respect the Admins cuz doing otherwise is like going to your aunt's house and curling one out in the teapot. XD

Anyhoo, I have boards I can go on to rant, rave and post insulting stuff with likeminded people; CS is not one of them. Excellent work, admins and mods. ^^

I would like to say that, while I might not agree with some things Darth said, I greatly respect the fact that he took himself out of the community rather than seethe and let this incident taint his participation on the CS board. A lot of people would have let themselves "release their anger" and ended up burning even more bridges.
