Well, I will say this.

When it comes to your emotions, I’ve seen you borderline lose it in certain situations which eventually lead to your demotion. I’ve been prone to this years ago, so I feel you. Don’t think I don’t get where you’re coming from. While I don’t agree with Steve that such drastic measures should be taken without agreement, I do agree that evaluation is more or less needed for some mods here; and, in my opinion, you are one of them.

Of course what arose between you, I and a certain other user a few days ago brought this back up…while this user and I were having a generally civilized debate (with a touchy subject – and I’ll get to that later) you pretty much ALL CAPS’d at us to take it to PM…swearing a bit as well. Now, on an internet chatroom, I am generally nonplussed as to why debating is such an awful thing, as I really do not remember ANY instance of the discussion getting out of hand (until you took it to that level), yet it was still told to end (rather harshly).

Also, yes. The discussion could be argued as “inappropriate” as it was on the topic of pornography. I get that. But the chat rules, word-for-word, states:

“Sex talk is the discussion of genitalia, sexual activities, or any other such topics in an attempt to elicit arousal, and will not be tolerated. Innuendo and sexual jokes (for the sake of humor rather than arousal) are to be kept to a minimum, and it is up to a mod's discretion whether or not a situation merits disciplinary action in these cases. Other tactless and immature humor (such as regularly responding with "your mom's vagina," as one example of many) will also be dealt with accordingly and often result in a ban.”

Attempt to elicit arousal. For the sake of humor. Neither of these aspects were utilized by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, we were majorly discussing the morality of the topic, never anything even remotely related to it arousing sexual intent or comedy. It was a serious discussion, and unnecessary to have it taken out of hand. I’m against sex talk too. I get it. I do. Some users are disgusting. But in this context it’s really, really hard to even call it “sex talk”.

Whereas other moderators on chat at the time seemed to be rather cool about it, you seemed to show a genuinely unnecessary fury. And yes, it’s true that the other user and I got snarky and frustrated. But the reason for this is because YOU were blowing it out of proportion. I was angry that having a debate was being ignored and passed off as “drama”, despite nothing being dramatic whatsoever about the discussion. Frankly, my feelings were hurt too.

This didn’t extend to just yesterday. You lost it at another user a few days ago…perhaps more necessarily, but either way I won’t hold it against you because unnecessary anger and swearing is a problem throughout the ENTIRE moderator system here on this wiki. I am simply calling the situation I mentioned above out because I as a whole felt both my kick and the anger were very irritating, not necessarily unjustified, but somewhat unfair because you were initially began the attitude.

I’m all for you re-attempting at mod rights, I just think some of this is a problem.
