OK, That sure got your attention.
Aesop wrote.
‘An eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard the wiz of an arrow, and felt itself wounded to death.
Slowly it fluttered down to earth, its life-blood pouring out of it.
Looking down upon the arrow with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of the arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes.
“Alas!” it cried, as it died.’Aesop is right in pointing out that we often provide our enemies with the means for our own destruction.
“How” you may ask “is this relavent to Moderators and forums?”
We (Moderators) walk a thin line, some are envious of us, dont be. Others are bent on our destruction, dont bother. Others wish to engage us in verbal conflict, theres no war.
You may be familiar with the term ‘flames’, dont look for them here, While we may shy from the use of the ‘verbal flamegun’ we are capable and skilled in its use, yet dont apply it. However, in our arsenal is the sword, this is used to cut flames and offending posts from the furum.
We, (like you will be if you post here) judged by the content of our posts (plumes), is this fair? maybe, maybe not. In any one day my posts may be described as helpful, crap, funny, rubbish, brilliant, and thats just from the Boss. Multiply that by all the members regularly reading and you can see that quite often your own posts will be ‘highlighted’ by another for self amusement and ridicule, what to do? simple, be mature enough to either respectfully reply or ignore the post.
So, should you pick up a stray plume of mine resist fletching your arrow and instead soar with us, enjoy the company. This applies equally to the stray plumes of fellow members.
OK sorry bout the ‘filthy n lewd’ part, maybe another time….
