These students try the teacher's patience. They cause a buildup of anger that may keep the teacher awake at night wondering what to do about this troublemaker. The teacher will eventually become hypervigilent with that student, ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble.
Yeah, bad and incompetent teachers will do that. I can't believe that you, as a teacher, think that's OK.
If you can't be fair because you're being too emotional (and vindictive I guess) you shouldn't be a teacher and you shouldn't be a mod either!
Teacher who behave like that need to be fired.
So, Storker for instance comments on cave diving accidents, working as a instructor, spear fishing etc. even though he knows nothing about it as it seems... if I point that out, I get reported, WITHOUT having called him a moron! When I asked, what I am being reported for. I get no answer or I get insulted.
John likes to write loooooong 'lectury' posts with a lot of questionable stuff in them... when I comment, it get deleted and I get lectured some more by pm.
Why are people that act like that picked as mods? People that take themselves this seriously should not be mods. It's not all mods, but 4 of them come to mind that are just awful.
Now, I'm sure I have, yet again, broken some rule. On this board, you can't utter an critical opinion when it goes against what the 'little clique' thinks and I doesn't hurt some mods ego. Of course it's also OK to slander companies like revo based upon hearsay, when Pete or some mod has some kind of problem with them. On the other hand, the DSS get to talk s%&t as much as he wants... I guess he's buying advertisement on SB.
This whole spiel about 'mods can't mod in threads they are involved in' is utter BS. People like John and Storker are biased against me whether they are involved in a certain thread or not, that system makes no sense.
If some post are deleted that's fine, it's done in other forums to and they will give you a reason for it that makes sense... on here, it's being done to proctect people egos.
It's a real shame since are a lot's of people on here that seem very competent and post lots of great advice and have very interesting stuff to say, unfortunately this is not a free platform and that's on of the reasons people are going to facebook.
