[Report] Personal attack in Chicago PD Thread

[Aethrys]

So, I really do despise the idea of running to moderation, but this kind of nonsense seems to happen as a matter of course on NSG lately and I must admit it's rather annoying, particularly when these selfsame individuals eventually create throwaway nations for the express purpose of using moderation as a private army. I do fully expect this to be dismissed because I was "asking for it" or whatever, but meh, I tried.

Sorry, I forgot that hating cops and sticking it to the establishment and whatnot was the in thing. But yeah, another excellent contribution to a discussion.

Oh, so you don't know how to read. I'm sorry, that's really tragic.

[Scomagia]

Please. It's a clear reference to you misrepresenting my views. Obviously you can read, so it's a bit ridiculous for you to pretend to be offended at something I couldn't have possibly meant in any literal sense.

Now, it may have been a touch on the nose, so I'd accept a warning I suppose.

It has nothing to do with causing offense, and everything to do with how the series of toxic posts I've noticed from you in particular, directed against myself and others, do nothing to advance the discussions you toss them in and in fact negatively impact them. I am, quite frankly, irritated by it. It is good of you to condescend to accept a warning, though at this point is evidently unnecessary.

As far as your views, I have no way to know them aside from what you share, and as things stand the only view you've taken the time to express is your beliefs regarding my apparent illiteracy.

My views are plain on that thread. All you need to do is actually read my fucking posts there. Either you didn't bother to do so or, more likely, you were intentionally misrepresenting my opinion as being this:

Sorry, I forgot that hating cops and sticking it to the establishment and whatnot was the in thing. But yeah, another excellent contribution to a discussion.

When it quite clearly isn't any such thing. That's what prompted my snark about illiteracy. In any case, now that I've defended myself, I think you and I are done here until moderation makes a ruling.

Suppose you two try ignoring each other for a bit? The reported post is not actionable. If there are others, showing a pattern, post links to them or quote them.

Scomagia, you're developing a streak of rudeness that's not going to serve you well. Dial it back. There are polite ways to get your opinion across: find them.

I'm hardly posting any differently than I always have, so I'm not sure I understand you. I've been pretty keen to toe the line since I first started posting, so if there's something I'm doing now that I shouldn't be I'd like to know what it is. I'd be more than happy to correct my behavior if I'm somehow being more rude or abrasive than I've always been.

Maybe I've just noticed it. As Shakespeare has Henry V say, the gentler gamester is the soonest winner.

I suppose that could be true. Still, what would you recommend as far as "dialing it back"? I don't feel that I've been breaking the rules but I have been reported a bit more lately than is usual for me, so maybe I am being a bit more aggressive than usual. Suggestions?

Take a look at the posts you've been reported for, for starters.

I have done so. While I can't see what exactly I'm doing different, I'll try to be a bit more civil.
