Could? Of course someone could, but I would like to think that all the members of this forum see Jesus_of_Nazareth's post for what it is: a joke.FBM wrote:Jesus, this is a reminder that this post contains comments that could be taken as a personal attack.

As for those who may not view it that way, let me say this: Somebody with that view is stupid.
Moderators, please stop following the path taken by RDF and RDF Mark II.

Nah. I think everybody knows you were joking. Just making sure nobody took it the wrong way.

Does that mean that on this occasion the blue ink does not indicate that the moderators have conferred among themselves, come to a consensus, and you are not the messenger of the result?

Does that mean we can ignore this comment for being bullshit? That the original missive is to be taken seriously? If so, I am worried.

How the fuck does that gel with "Jesus, this is a reminder that this post contains comments that could be taken as a personal attack. Please keep the play nice rule in mind. Gracias." ? If you (plural) meant to just make sure "nobody took it the wrong way", could you not have simply said exactly that instead of phrasing the blue stuff in a way that is indistinguishable from an official and formal caution?FBM wrote:FBM wrote:

You seem to be conflating the blue stuff (staff agreed-upon reminder) with the non-blue stuff (my personal response to JoN).Seraph wrote:How the fuck does that gel with "Jesus, this is a reminder that this post contains comments that could be taken as a personal attack.

Re: Anne Romney Hasn't Worked A Day in Her Life
Oh great idea, moderators making light hearted comments in tone and format that are indistinguishable from a formal caution delivered in seriousness. When can we expect the next cry of "Wolf!"?
