Similar reactions that get someone warned and/or banned?

The moderator concerned has made me feel very uncomfortable. How did I step on their toes?

Exactly. His posts here have all been exactly as MissConstrue said. They are all slanderous and hurtful. I feel he is abusing his powers as a moderator to get away with saying mean and hurtful things about other members.

This forum is supposed to be a save place for people to go, and Lau is making it feel very unsafe. I feel really uncomfortable with this, and i'm thinking of leaving. I really don't feel that comfortable here now.

I have no idea what you are talking about. And i've only asked you for help once, and I've never asked Lau for anything.

Yes, and that's the only example you will find. That's the only time i've ever made a post using a word like hell in the title, and been so damn frustrated with the mods that I had to make a post like that. You cannot use one thread where I am upset as an example, when the vast majority of them do not have that tone at all.

First it was none, now it is the vast majority.

I see nothing wrong with my tone in that thread. And please stop taking my words out of context. You and Lau are acting completely inappropriate, and I'm not going to put up with it. I
m done with this thread.

There are a number of resident WP members who get their kicks by putting others down, but get away with it because they don't quite sink to the level of "trolls." I hate when that happens.

I've been thinking about responding to some people with, "How does it serve you to attempt to humiliate another member of this community?" The thing is, such people, like common bullies, are probably not introspective enough to know the answer.

I've noticed a distinct mark of ingratitude from many who posted in this thread.

Is that any surprise given how some mods in here are posting lies and distorting information to personally attack posters with concerns and completely ignoring the issues that are posted. Meanwhile no other mod is stepping in to help stop that behavior?

People are even less likely to thank someone for being a bully who needlessy attacks them than they are to thank someone who completely ignores them when they bring up something that is bothering them. Gratitude of others is something you earn, not something you are entitled to regardless of how you behave

Do you realize that statement could be seen as a hypocrisy?
