 You should work on figuring out chronological order in the pbp thread and not worry about this.

And you should work on not being so condescending. Since you became a moderator, you have gotten terrible about that. You act like you're the only one with any smarts around here. Just because you're a moderator, doesn't mean you have to be a jerk to do the job.

The environment in this sub-forum is night and day from two years ago. Back then, pretty much everyone was respectful and discussion was encouraged. People posted more freely and most everyone was welcomed to the board.

That is not so much the case anymore. It reminds me of the mid-Atlantic forum from the easternwx days. Even that sub-forum seems to be more tame than the SE sub-forum now.

As far as the whining about threads, it is not even possible for me to be condescending.  It is way, way beyond the time where that should still be an issue.  

 

In any case, my post was meant to be a sarcastic reference to your complaining that the pbp thread was confusing.  If I wanted to be condescending, I would now say something like, "I seems like there is a lot of things that you have problems understanding."

 

See the difference?.

This is so true......even back on Eastern way before sub forums where every region had a thread and the SE threads actually had banter and discussions in the same thread without everyone fighting or moaning....

I see that you are still belittling me, so yes, you're still being condescending. Sarcasm doesn't help your position.

 

It does get confusing because I mainly read the emails that come in. Are you insulting my intelligence by saying I'm not too bright??? Sounds like it to me, and that certainly isn't something that should be coming from a moderator. It's pitiful and childish that you have to resort to those kind of statements. 

 

As a moderator, you are breaking all of your own rules.

I have always used sarcasm to make points.  What has changed here is the way you are perceiving it since I became a mod.  NMP

You just told me that you read everything and have the same opinion. How can that be if you mainly only read the emails.  You have had an issue with everything for months and use whatever opportunity you can have to voice your opinion. As I recall your last opinion was about someone who held a doctorate brings out red flags for you because they are wrong.

No, I knew you were sarcastic back then, and it was funny. Now you're just being a jerk when you use it. 

 

So are you insulting my intelligence or not? I took it as that, and I can tell you it's not appreciated.

I didn't say doctors were wrong, I said they are some of the dumbest people I've met. I did say that they probably know their field they got their doctorate in but they have no common sense. I also said that someone that says they are a doctor raise a red flag. Has that person come back? I don't think so. Please don't take what I said out of context.

 

I do read everything that I am subscribed to, so yes, I read everything that gets posted in multiple threads, is that so hard to believe? 

 

And yes, I have more and more issues with the moderation in the SE forum. I go to many other forums and don't see or hear of the same issues there. If it's just my perception, then others have the same perception. You all have run off many good posters (yes, I know because I've talked to them) that use to post here.

 

You need to take a step back and see what it is that you can do to improve the atmosphere in this forum instead of attacking everyone that disagrees with your moderation.

That's my point.

 

I didn't comment on your intelligence.  I simply commented on your comment about the pbp thread being confusing.  You're adding all sorts of intent and meaning that isn't there.

I read for two years before joining. Better group back then IMO. There's more silent poster's than you think. Im just tired of people bein threatened for voicing there opinion im an American and that just rubs me wrong period i just got back from Afghanistan fighting for those same beliefs an i advise you to tread carefully if you respond to this message period....bottom line this is a weather fourm plain an simple.....

There's a difference in trying to help fix and issue and becoming an issue by doing nothing besides complain. Do you want to know what the difference is between now and back then? Weenies thought twice before posting and LEARNED how to read a map in order to be part of the conversation.

No, you basically told me that I need to figure out chronological order.... like I don't know how to do that. That would in itself be a direct reference to my intelligence. 

 

Do you even pay attention to how many different systems are discussed in the pbp?

So you were calling him/her a dummy with no common sense....nice way to welcome someone that works in the field of Meteorology for stating a fact in the discussion thread.

 

That you are subscribed to? So.....no...you don't read everything. #knowledgeispower

 

It's obvious you have issues and please tell me who has been run off? 1300m?

 

You need to take a step back and decide how you can become a better poster in the se forum or don't post at all.

We just need some snow. All this would be gone.

No, it wouldn't. It's the same thing EVERY YEAR. I could literally list how each poster is going to act given a certain situation. Everyone has their own posting personality. Of course more voices now means more clashing of posting personalities and yea, makes me just avoid the forum in my instance.

Anyway, Cold Rain, Tin Cup made a 12 on that par 5, not a 13. As for any weather systems, I have a golf tourney on the 7th so I'm going to need things to delay on their arrival til the 8th. Now back to your regular scheduled banter

How hard is it to understand that both weather communities have said they don't want to be spoken about on each other's boards? Brick basically brought up a thread topic from another board and the mods didn't want to hear about the other place over here.

 

In other words, keep the board drama from other boards elsewhere. That's why Brick got jumped on. There is no "clique" or whatever is being thrown around these days.

 

Just stop posting about the other board here, and stop posting about this board there. Simple, fixed.

 

Saying it 3 times, in 3 different ways and I bet some people still don't get it.

Except I didn't bring it up first. Someone else did and I responded. 

 

But I just wish it would be dropped.
