…or hit the Rude! button and let SB deal with it instead!
I’ve found that everyone truly has different opinions about almost everything. And everyone approaches life differently. Therefore, everyone deals with conflict differently as well. The Rude! button is there for those who wish to use it. And according to SB, it is being effective and not too much abused. If you’d rather talk it out in the open, I’d personally say go for it! One of the beautiful things about BLF is that we do have the privilege (and responsibility) to self-moderate. But don’t get caught up in arguments, because those are against the rules, as SB reminded us all just a few posts ago. ^ Remember that “self moderate” means that you must “moderate” your “self” not others.
PS - I am now extremely curious about who has 48 points…
Is that maybe a “total” or something?
Maybe it’s someone in another thread that I just haven’t been reading?
I don’t think I’ve ever even posted 48 times in 24 hours - ever! So, either the person is being both Spammy AND Rude! or lots of people are marking the same post(s) (indicating that the posts are VERY Rude!).
Nope, those are current points. It was actually a bit higher in the past couple of days, but (s)he has calmed down and the points are slowly vanishing. No sense in speculating though, in fact I’d prefer that everyone didn’t, because if we pick a name as “most likely to have 48 rudeness points” in a sort of cruel mock election, we’ll definitely have an offended BLFer.
