It now says he didn't, but because 20 some people think he did, it can be agreed that his remark was controversial and could be interpreted both ways...
I've said in another area that I would stay out of this thing, and right now, I probably really should, but last night I though of a new way to try to show something. I don't think you'll really get what I am saying, but I'll try -one last time- for you and others who could be reading this...

Better, I think.
Eros, what we see is what you said, and what I said after. I took out the part you were talking about FS' suggestions to reduce confusion.
If I had said:
Code: Select all
1) Do not publicly argue if you have a problem with a moderator. Contact Ero`Sore: your ombudsman/woman
then it would be widely accepted that I had called you a woman. BUT, I took you name out completely... I said
Code: Select all
1) Do not publicly argue if you have a problem with a moderator. Contact your ombudsman/woman.
Eros, your name isn't in there. I removed your name and stated it generically. Yes, you were the current ombudsperson, but I wasn't speaking to how things are now. It was a general statement (what I wrote). If your name was there (in what I wrote) it would be that I was speaking to the person, but I removed your name, and in so was speaking to the position.
You wanted to poll the community to see who was at fault, to seewhat the community said

and the community didn't agree. I realized a couple of days ago that there was no way you would have seen this as to what the majority says. If the majority of people said that yes I did call you a woman, you would have used that number and said I was wrong. I would have agreed too. However, now, as the majority doesn't agree the argument is that even though that is the case a minority still sees it as offensive and make it controversial. Even if 100% said they did not think I was calling you a woman, the argument would have then been it was who you interpreted it, and I was still wrong.
From what smoosh said here about removing you, that was one part of it. In light of mass agreement that it wasn't anything offensive this still continues. You weren't removed for making a poll, or for having an opinion that was not in agreement with me or other vocal moderators.
I've said elsewhere that I'd stay out of this now, and I'll do just that. I will pm Jack about this (user mod ongoing dispute), and put him to work in his first 24 hours.
I wish you well Eros.

p.s. insulting members in the subforum is not constructive, but that's my opinion, thankfully one that
members share (read the second spoiler). You did suggest to clean house, but that is done periodically anyway.
