so is the problem more the fact that the MLF were technically sockpuppets or that they threaten to hurt moonie?
Sockpuppet
If I remember rightly, permission was asked and granted for the MLF sock puppet. Obviously, they knew that this was against the rules and asked for a special exception. After it was done, the sock puppet was disabled. We don't mind doing things for a good cause, but that shouldn't be taken as cart blanche to create more sock puppets. I might be confusing this with another sock puppet and if so, I am sorry.
Of course, in today's climate of "Who me?", no one seems to want to admit they were wrong. It's so much easier to dis the volunteers trying to keep things civil and call us names. I think it was Walter who has "No raindrop ever feels it is responsible for the flood" and this is so true. Rather than trying to work with the volunteers, there are a few who are content to waste their time trying to push the envelope of what is acceptable.
This board is such a valuable resource for those who are just learning to dive as well as for many verterans that it just pains me that some are obsessed with trying to disrupt the harmony of our community. I don't pretend to know why they do this, but I do know that it just ties up volunteer time and stymies many a new user from participating when they see this kind of thing. It's just not right.
OK, one more time. Mods will make mistakes just like me and you. If you feel that you have been banned or disciplined for all the wrong reasons, please use my contact info which I have cunningly hidden at that bottom of every one of my posts and contact me. Bans have been cut short when the user seems to "get it". However, if you try to subvert any suspension, you will ONLY make it worse.
But hey, if you just want to create havoc then feel free to call us whatever you want in the open forum. But pardon me if I (and many others) just assume that you have absolutely NO INTEREST in resolving any issues and just want to cause trouble. Some people seem to live for the drama.
