Thank you
and should thus be the exemplar of behaviour Mods are not "better" users nor do they have any requirement to act in any particular manner unless specifically moderating.
There's no requirement, but ideally mods shouldn't make new problems without good reason.


Riffing off what both you and Ace said, nobody should make new problems without good reason.
I mean seriously, unless it's a flamingly obvious troll like Marcus or Rob, why antagonize people at all?
I wasn't deliberately trying to antagonise anyone, and attempted an apology in my own special way. I still maintain I wasn't 'driving an editor away' and I feel Vox is being quite precious about the whole thing. If anyone feels otherwise they are welcome to take me to admin abuse/coop where I'll defend myself and accept any, if at all, punishment deemed fit by the community.
You know very well nothing would come of a cooping, because the rules don't actually cover trolling and harassment.
Please, for the love of god Brx, stay out of arguments that you don't need to be in...this is the main reason you are disliked.
Ace, I am not asking for an apology, nor expecting any admission of guilt. I do not wish to initiate any formal process, or create any more drama.
I would simply like you to undertake to never again post on my talk page, or deliberately attempt to antagonize me elsewhere. If you agree to that, then this whole matter can be dropped and I can go back to writing articles and contributing in whatever other way I can.
Well, I never said you were. In fact, I said at least twice that I gave you benefit of the doubt and any harassment on your part would have been unintentional.
All I'm asking is that everyone (not singling you out, me too) just be aware that what's straightforward to you might not be to someone else. We've all got different perspectives, and when it comes down to it gotta get along to some degree.
Hmm, maybe I wasn't really clear in my earlier comment. What I was getting at was where AD said that mods should take care to not start trouble where there isn't any, it follows from what you're saying that where mods aren't better than anyone else then everyone should try for that standard.
Mods are just aware of the fact, is all.
