So we lose another one

[aleon515]

Yeah I've seen it. I can't say it was really overt, but it was in the FTM section where I've seen comments (which I took to be maybe funny or something) why someone would *want* to be male. (Well actually don't *want* to be actually, just am.) People usually remind the person "well you are in the FTM section". But I'm sure there's a line there and it could be crossed.

there are very many lines, for every person. easy to cross one even when staying inside the tos. that's when i think it's good to politely try to point out they might want to reconsider what they just wrote. things that cross outside the tos should always be reported the way i see it, but if it's in an active conversation it is possible to try and remind people that the tos exist.

We make every effort to notify the member if we delete a post.  It is our policy to PM the user, but I'm not saying we don't forget once in a while.

okay, thank you. i was a little bit worried because i wrote some possibly harsh words in the post. someone might have found it offensive. but then i probably just forgot to check that i'd posted it properly. a small relief.

The heck is THAT? You've got me curious now... I'm officially on a mission to find you your good floaty meat pie thing here.

I've found you exactly two Australian joints in LA: http://losangeles.menupages.com/restaurants/all-areas/all-neighborhoods/australian/

But seriously, why would you want to be male? I'm kidding.  Men are awesome, I just never was able to be one. 

Personally, I wish we could all get along better as I think all of us have more in common than not.  I'm a gender egalitarian, so I hope we can all remain equal and maintain some mutual respect.   Jokes are fine, but there are legit boundaries that I think some come close to crossing.  It's rare, but it happens from time to time.  I hope everyone will remember there are lots of guys here that need support as well.  To be honest, I wish there was some more men around sometimes.  We need to close the gender gap and get some more diversity.  Homogeneity is boring and overrated.

Am I the only one that is getting a mental image of a constipated person who finally got things worked out when those meaty pie floaters are described?

[Cindy]

Oh Goddess not pie floaters again!!

Reported post! Run away.

Actually I have this fantasy of force feeding Devlyn with pie floaters.

Ah sparked up the day!

Just adding a vote of support for the mods: you're doing a fine job, and I have never felt insulted or threatened on this site.  You're collectively maintaining a friendly, compassionate, opinionated and open forum, and part of why I chose to be a donor is because of the clear work that you people are putting into things.  It takes effort to maintain order online, and I speak from experience as someone who has run a forum singlehandedly for the past decade.

Keep up the great work.  You're a source of great advice, and you're underappreciated.

Cindy uses her Crocodile Dundee skills to hurl a pie floater with deadly accuracy at a fleeing Devlyn.

[Devlyn]

Ha! You couldn't hit an elephant from that dist.................

[Danielle Emmalee]

Uh oh, what do you do when the mods start fighting....Susan!!!!

[Antonia J]

I, of course, am a Goddess, so my mistakes are Divine.

Cindy

Can I just say that I love you?

Actually, if you could tell Cindy not to move it would be nice. I have the Divine Goddess branding iron all heated up!

It's like Devlyn has a golf bag full of very specific branding irons, I'd offer to caddy for you but I'm sure there's a caddy brand

[kelly_aus]

I'm the Keeper of the Irons - with the number Cindy has now, I need a small truck, a golf bag doesn't even carry the basics for her..

And I'm almost brand-free..

Oh, um, er, hi, Kelly. I kinda borrowed one or two of the irons. I meant to leave a Post-it, um, was there one? I may have forgotten.

This is why we need an extensive and organized bureaucracy. forms upon forms!

Nobody moderates the moderators here, we just stand well back & patch up the survivors when the dust settles
