ok ok.
but this isnt a before-and-after thing. the position hasnt changed, i was just saying how you want to present it chnages how i'm going to react to it, which isnt unreasonable. there's a difference between a PM and threatening to leave the board and calling for 'resignation'.
as professor hinted at, edits happen to posts all the time by moderators fiddling around. they're mostly good natured. you should have seen the escalating sig-altering dorkery between myself and BLD. i've had my profile and sig changed by yannick and tom. i've had tom edit thread titles basically calling me a faggot. the latter hit a minor nerve but it was ultimately just fun n games and doesnt mean that peoples writerly words are being misrepresented. what basically happened here was "woe be unto the one that treats the world board with this flippant levity."
it happens in all the other boards and didnt see how the world board was supposed to be exempt from these same "shenanigans" because it's oh-so-much-more
serious
which its why it's rather hard to apply words like "responsibility" to modship here. ok, youve got different rules, like any politics forum does in a general messageboard. and applying what happens to every other board here doesnt work for you guys. fine. i've said before i'll let janie handle the editing, locking, and otherwise writerly perversions you think dangle precariously on world tyranny.
but this is still overblown and at this point more drama has been made than what i can be responsible for.
