I think the point some are trying to make is that even if someone ISN't well liked, or because they may treat others poorly in posts (this IS just the internet)- that doesn't mean that other people have the right to act the same way. Two wrongs don't make a right.
Casa may have done many things wrong - however, that PM was out of line and personally, mod or not, the person that wrote those things should be given a warning. I don't care who casa is, what casa may have done in the past - that doesn't give anyone the right to treat that person poorly. You're doing the same thing that you accused that person of. Can't have it both ways - if mods are just posters too and not representatives of the forum, then they should be punished the same as any other poster when they do inappropriate things.
JMHO.

PS-I am sure "other people" sent some pretty nasty PMs to "Certain people" just because they owned a breed of dog and were showing pics of their dog playing with a their small child.
What comes around goes around.
Yes, we all have our breaking points.
~~~~Peace out~~~
Oh yeah and I am probably a weirdo here but I have never met a Fila?!?!?!
Okay one more thing, I dont even KNOW who the moderators are. I sort of do now because of this post.

I was rude, and unprofessional, and all that. Not very aloof of me. But then again I care, I try, I help when I can. Also not very aloof of me. I don't come two ways... I am who I am, and thats who I'll always be. My drivers license doesn't say ChazHound Moderator. It says "Demitrious Kelly".
If you want a forum where the moderators only enforce rules to the letter, only agree with the majority opinion, always bite their tongue, always take the high road, are always "right" ... Then you can find that, I'm sure. but you have to deal with the flip side of that too... Cold unfeeling overlords, stepping in and wielding the finger of god with calculating precision and ruthlessness ... And I should step down. I'm in the wrong place.
Thats not who I am. I'm a thinker, I'm a caring person, and I'm a DO-er.
If you want a forum tended to by people who have a heart, give a care, and invest themselves in each of you personally. Then I think Chaz is for you. But you have to take the flip side of that too. Sometimes they'll screw up. Sometimes they'll get mad. Sometimes you wont like em.
But you'll at least have mother and father figures who care... not cold unfeeling overlords. And remember that caring is not the same as liking. I don't have to like you, or know you, to care about you. I care about all the people I see get trounced in threads. I care about the people who enter into debates with good faith and come out feeling back stabbed. I care about the members who care too much about this forum to rock the boat and complain. I even care about casa in my way.
I could have banned her right then and there. Not said a word. Never give a reason. In my opinion that would have been a cold heartless act. Throwing down, calling out, standing ground is, in my opinion, a caring act (even if it can be the wrong one.) I'm a big dog. Right or wrong I stand my ground and force peoples hands when necessary. I called casa out, and I was right in that she cant take the heat in reverse. I hope she grows as a person.
Was it executed poorly? maybe... Was it in bad taste? maybe... too much french? si si senor.
I'm a hard person to live with. But I also try to be a good person on the whole. So I appreciate those of you who have come to defend my actions. And I also appreciate those of you who have called them out for what they are.
I'm a big boy. And I'll accept the consequences of my opinions, and my actions. I'm not aware of any, but if there are some I will accept them gracefully. I'm not going to make excuses, or apologize. They would be hollow fallacies. I believe casa needed to be called out. And I stand by it.
I also stand up for my friends. For the people I respect. Who trust me. And for the people who cant stand up for themselves. Right or wrong, I acted from my heart. I stood up for those people today.
I cannot do anything about whether doing so was acceptable. I cannot do anything about the form that it took. I'll live, learn, and grow. I'll assimilate this experience into the pool of actions and consequences that are the makup of my outlook on life. As with everything I will learn from this experience.
I hope, also, that casa does too. Wherever she ends up.

First let me say............Good post Demi.
Second, I would like to say that was a PRIVATE MESSAGE to Casa, think of it what you will but it wasn't posted for all the world to see until SHE decided to post it. I am sure if the Mods wanted to be 'rude' or 'unprofessional' they could post plenty of the PM's she has sent to them.
I may get tomatoes thrown at me for saying this, but I will miss Casa, she made me laugh PLENTY, not because she was attempting humor though
............I felt the same when bob left as well.

You really want to know why we don't slap infractions on mods? Because we'll rake ourselves over the coals a lot more thoroughly than most of you might ever imagine.
Buckshot's right. She's bullied and she's hurt other members' feelings and seemed quite gleeful about it time after time. Who deserves our sympathy? Who is it we should be standing up for? Personally, I'm not terribly inclined to have a lot of sympathy for those who seem to revel in wanton cruelty.
But that's just me.

Has anyone looked at her personal profile ?? Check it out and see if she did not come here to spread hate and discontent. Now that being said I really don't care about her attacks as long as she could take what she served. That is quite apparent that she can not.
This is just another of her attempts to start a fight in here and by getting nasty over this thread and agreeing with her allows her to succeed and I wish her well in her life but from me to you Casa and especially for your latest attempt to get people to disagree and get angry with each other here is a fond farewell from me to you and good riddance. Better people then yourself have tried to break this family up and have failed now you can leave in defeat as well.
