kban and other mods

first up, I do not have any issue with this thread or its contents . I do not know what fever meant or referred to, but to my mind, derogatory statements only reflect poorly on the person who made it ... nothing more. So anyone with issues just smite him and get on with it

But since there are rules on what can be posted and what cannot, and everyone may not be happy with just a smite, it probably needs to be gone into. Now in this context, kban, you have given a very lengthy explanation of fever's post ... on what may have been and what fever may have believed and considered when he started this thread. An effort worth appreciation (for I could not make any sense out of it), but what does it prove? Or does it really help? I am sure someone else on this DG could take the same set of words and give a totally different spin on fever's thoughts and intentions. The conclusions or choices that Kban drew are not so obvious, are they? In my view, what is relevant here is not what kban or worma or sahir or dex or any other moderator thinks about what fever thought or meant. What is of relevance is what fever himself meant or referred to or who he aimed this at.

Here, I have a simple solution to suggest ... it would not have escaped your attention that apart from the first post on this thread, fever has not posted anything. Nothing in response to all the allegations or support that his comments have drawn. Maybe he is busy or travelling and has not been able to see all of these. Would it not be simpler to ask fever himself to respond to these by elaborating on his first post and clarifying what he actually meant -- rather than trying to base anything on what any of us, or the moderators, think?

Till then, let us get back to cricket!!

I cannot speak as to fever's whereabouts (I did notice he has made one follow up post since yesterday) nor can I speak of the logic / reasoning behind his post.

The only reason any of the mods or I posted in the thread is because we received complaints about the thread and my initial impression was it did not warrant sanction based on how I read and understood the post. But since there was enough discussion, I posted where I (as an admin) was coming from and asked for people's input as to what they found offensive.

I agree with you completely that there may be different interpretations of this, which is exactly why I solicited opinions of those who thought it was offensive. Also agree that the true intent of the post can only be given by fever.

And for clarification, my POV on the issue was not meant to be a definitive portrayal of the original intent (only fever can attest to this), nor was it intended to be a defense of the post by fever. Sorry for any misunderstandings. It was meant to convey how I viewed it and solicit opinions as to what constituted reasons for possible sanctions against fever as requested by others.

Hope this explains.

never had any issues with your explanation .. the post was just supposed to be a suggestion of one way the issue could be resolved .. now that fever is back on the thread, he can take up all the questions that ppl had himself, instead of you guys trying to rack your brains over what he may have thought ..

thanx for the expln (detailed as always) anyways!!

MODS: Please REMOVE this thread to Moderator actions - an official COMPLAINT has been filed by Flute already.

This hurts many folks sentiments - why are u allowing this thread to sit here so long? Please move this thread to Moderator ACtion Log folder asap. A request seconded by toney, i'll third it.
