Warning Points System Mod

Mcgrath, if you're looking for either fairness or consistency, this AIN'T the place to find either.

Let it go, it's not a big deal anyway.

Too bad for you i haven't repeated my actions.

And the deference between you and i is i LEARN from my mistakes.And make an effort not to repeat them.What have YOU learned from yours?

It sure is fun pretending like your nancy drew ,huh?

And i didn't , when i received my warning point,i acted like a man,and took it.
How are you taking it?

Christopher I am not the sharpest knife in the draw but it sounds to me like you are threatening my manhood????

Christopher what did you really learn??

And I question why education is my chosen profession

Um....I don't see any threats?

If thats how you perceive it ,then you should be glad your athletic supporter has a cup in it.
You teach 7th grade gym , right ?

Just like at my basketball games the fans see the game through there rose colored glasses. Here Christopher get you a pair...OOOPs you are already wearing some. No Christopher I teach a little higher level than that. It has something to due with genetics, Planck's Constant, Charles and Boyle's Law, and quantum physics but I can see you have no idea what I am talking about because I don't think you probably ever made it to my classroom...

Mike,
In all seriousness ... really. You quoted a post from some other corner of Fauna as an example of consistent, or inconsistent, application of rules enforcement. You did not note the date of the referenced post, which would be of some relevence. But lets assume it was yesterday, just for argument's sake. Here's some assumptions on my part:

1) Of those with the power who have decided to exercise it, I do not believe a one would have let that post slide, had they seen it. If its in some corner somewhere, many would not see it.

2) Most of us have raised children. We each handle those learning moments in youth discipline where the child attempts to implicate others who may have gotten off easier, if not escaped penalty altogether, as a means of somehow mitigating their own offenses. To each his own who has had to teach that lesson, but it usually is a failed strategy.

If the example was pre-January 21st, then it was not an applicable comparison. Good luck with the teaching stuff.

I find it troubling that a person of your self described knowledge would form sentences of a remedial nature,and see fit , the behavior of such as well.

Friendly, sincere advice. I make it a habit to not hit the submit button for at least 5 minutes after I compose a post that was written when I am annoyed. I then re-read the post and it is amazing how often good sense takes over and an edited version is what is submitted. If I were you, I would step away from the computer, have a relaxing cold one and refrain from posting for a few hours. The meltdown a few posts back is indicative of someone who is not in a good place to be making rational posts at the moment.

I always hate it when someone who shares a demographic with me goes and does something embarassing. The more specific the demographic, the less I like it and, of course, the more pride or self identification I put into my inclusion in the demographic the worse it is too. American irish, for any number of historical reasons, tend to keep the fact that they are irish further forward in their minds than modern natural born irish citizens- it's the best thing that it's possible to be ethnically and culturally and we're all well aware of it. That's not to downplay any other racial, ethnic or cultural background... you're all equal with one another and just slightly below the perfection of the irish. Sometimes even the best genes can produce slugs and negative formative mutations though. The kind that shouldn't be seen by the general public.

It's akin to the herper who shows up to speak publically during a legislative debate about animal control laws that shows up in khakis and a pith helmet and ends up shouting death threats and being escorted out of the building. They just tarnish everyone that shares any characteristics with them in some small way.
