I hope that I am paying attention the day somebody issues THAT warning...and if I'm not, somebody give me a wakeup call. I would hate to miss the party

Correct,in my opinion he is.
As you can see in the post that he is quoted in a couple of posts up.He uses all lower case letters.Not as you have written it here.
I have noticed this on numerous occasions when he is all fired up.
As for the warning ,why would someone warn a obvious "fishing " tactic.
I for one can understand when i am being baited.

Would some of that be worth warning points? Naw, IMO that is just who Wes is and he has outted some bad guys being who he is but I am not going to say that he is this guy with angel wings who is simply misunderstood.

One of the COOLEST things about people and trusting them, telling them things, sharing confidences, listening to problems and offering solutions, sharing the comaraderee of standing side by side while the bullets fly, digging that foxhole and huddling in it together, is when those confidences leak out, squirt between the seams of friendship and shared hardship, when the darts are thrown or the pungee sticks enearthed, when what is shared is then brought out and smeared all around, hither and yon, reinforcing as it flakes and dries, shrinking in the light of day and exposure unprotected, is that you CAN tell yourself, "I told you so."

I TOLD me so.

AHAHAhahahahahHAHAHAHAhahahahahaAHAHAHAhahahahAHAH AhahahAHAhahAHAHAHAHAhahahaHAHaha whoooooo wheeeee thanks for the laugh, and I mean that with all due respect mr. frank, indeed I do, for true for true. chuckle chuckle

I needed that respite from fauna drama and you supplied it MOST excellently.

To be clear - I was not insinuating that he was being sincere & respectful. But the idea of warnings for being called Mr (or mr.) is kinda funny.

Who brought up warnings in the first place??
Ahh...the power of suggestion.

The power of suggestion, or the choice of words?

I'm guessing that the word that you actually meant was condescending. Antagonism of a moderator would, of course, be a warnable offense. Harald is not stupid, and neither are the rest of us who sift through what you write. If you think that you are so intellectually superior that you "suggested" this to Harald then you are very much sorely mistaken.

So, mods, I'm curious. Or, if so inclined, people in general:

Do you think the new system is working? IE - better than it was.

I believe that it is giving Webslave some time away from the kiddy table and allows him to focus on other issues. I am unsure if he gets less whine-o-grams than before, but I can tell you that I have received some lovely comments.

As far as Wes goes....No I am not intimidated at all. I have also issued warnings to him. Wes and I are friends and friends will disagree from time to time.

I also agree with some of the other mods here. If I see a post that warrants points and some have already been issued, I try to look at the topic as a whole, the post and then poster. Obviously profanity will not be tolerated, however, some of the topics lately have been more hostile than the norm, tempers have flared and insults slung.

I as a mod, prefer to present myself as firm but fair, not only as a representative of this sight, but in this industry as a whole.

I couldn't agree more with what you said. There are times when multiple warnings are appropriate and there are times when it just is not.

You are also right, it give Rich some time to do some of the things he needs/wants to get done without always having to check here.
