Some used that as a tactic to get others in trouble, but then they would eventually post to the one asked to not post to them
Pretty cleaver I thought.
Happened to me once, FR mail also asked not to use.
I just kept posting to others I posted to until I was privately asked not to post to them either by the same poster!
So I could be posted to/FR mailed to, but I wasn't supposed to be allowed to return the posts etc...One problem, didn't last long, no problem.
Some people just don't want to play fair!
So, what a good idea by the Mods.
There's a lot of heat in this "kitchen" at times, but there's also a door...
Oh, all the people in the "to" section of this post, “Do not post to me”
So I could be posted to/FR mailed to, but I wasn't supposed to be allowed to return the posts etc...One problem, didn't last long, no problem."
I know what you mean, it just happened to me recently.
Another tactic is to claim someone you asked not to post to you claims you responded to them.
When someone asks me not to post to them, I don 't. When the occasion should be the reverse, I expect the same courtesy. It has nothing to do with "thick skin", but with honesty and fairness.
And yes, I do think civility, honesty, fairness and decency should be goals on a conservative forum. And when it it obvious posters are attempting to be otherwise, or are attempting to harass another poster, they should be warned about it.
While to some degree I can understand some of the points of this thread, I also see it as a cop out. There are instances when the dynamics of such situations are obvious and can be easily rectified.
“I just kept posting to others I posted to until I was privately asked not to post to them either by the same poster! ... There’s a lot of heat in this “kitchen” at times, but there’s also a door...”
***Good post. I needed a place to change my tagline back.
And while there is this open discrepancy about not-a-ping lists, I think this one is a start.
