Moderator's Language

[Sasaki Kojiro]

That thread could have discussed abortion. Instead everyone was told they Were Being Watched, that none of us are open minded enough to change our belief, that what was said would presumably be obnoxiously male, and that it's being closed because the moderators don't want to moderate it...or because "so far" (after a few hours) the derailing comments by the moderators had cluttered up the thread. It's best not to start threads with a one liner because there isn't much discussion, but still...learn not to be patronizing.

@subotan: "mansplaining"????

As the person making the decision to close the thread, it didn't get off on a good start and it was in shambles by the time I came across it. It was in my duty to simply close the thread advising to "re-make and start anew". So, feel free to create a new thread on the subject matter preferably with a better opening post with some discussion points. I have received word however, that another patron was interested in doing this, so there might be another thread up where you are feel to discuss this topic.

So to answer your point more directly, the topic wasn't closed as the staff-team was not interested in moderating it.

As for your other references, they are not related to my actions and it isn't my place to speak on them. I feel the thread speaks for itself on those matters.

I apologise if you feel that was being patronising, that wasn't my intent. It is just better, in my opinion, to ward people off at the pass before the comments descend, as they inevitably do in such a thread, into territory that would have required me to deliver warning points.
