attitude they project: Why do you think in halfway houses, drug rehab centres, and sometimes even in prisons residents are addressed by their last names? (ie. "Mr. Jones")
Because when you treat someone with respect (or even with the pretense of it), you force the other person, albeit momentarily, to pause and think before they act out in an irrational manner.
Whereas on DV what you have is
total lack of accountability, and with that comes total lack of respect.
The mods and other inept f*cktards that run that place don't think that they have an obligation to treat members with a modicum of professionalism and respect.
Yes, they're limited in what they can do. As a matter of fact, the only privilege they have is their access to the "delete" button. And do they
ever abuse that...
As you can tell I'm not the least bit convinced by your sympathetic words for those asswipes. Because you know why? Because I've been observing the social phenomena on DV for a long, long time... I've witnessed with my own eyes; it's always the same charade and the same game that they play:
Once they're overwhelmed by the so called trolls they fall into the familiar whining routine:
"We're only volunteers here..." or
"Poor poor mods... they're doing the best they can in face of those terrible, horrible trolls..."None of those dipshits have the brains to question how they got to where they are, and what they did to cause that situation. It's always someone else's fault. And it never dawns on them that it takes 2 to tango.
> They can 'flag' something and submit it, but they're not responsible for the havoc there.I've always held that they
ARE responsible for causing more than 90% of the dysfunctional behaviour in that cesspool. (I'm not saying 100%, but 90% yes!)
> It makes me sad that they have to continue to take so much flack over this. Aww, poor poor mods...
> How different would this be, if in YOUR job, you saw things running amuck, but your boss only gave you a very short rope to correct it. And yet you were STILL were held responsible for the mess. Would you feel you were being treated fairly

[/DIV]This is not a "job". If they don't like it, they don't need to put up with what their "boss" gave them. They can always quit.
We both know that they've volunteered for this. And no one is paying them a dime for what they do (and yes do they
ever make sure that they
abuse and milk that fact the best they can in their attempts to justify their arrogance and powertripping...)
Whether you want to admit it or not PC,
powertripping is where it's at. It's at the foundation of all the crap that goes on in that place. If the conditions were so abusive, why would anyone continue doing this
for no pay? I'll tell you why: This is the
best ego trip they've ever had in their lives. Plain and simple. Don't tell me otherwise.

[/DIV] I know what you mean by familiarity especially after seeing over 60 names I used to see on DV already registered here. The names you mentioned should be migrating here shortly as well. (Actually I think some of them already posted under the anonymous mode.) Soon we might have one happy troll family...
