SKARDAVNELNATE 10/06/20 7:39:19 PM #39:	ParanoidObsessive posted... The real dispute is whether or not a reasonable person should find something offensive Being offended is not reasonable. In most cases I think someone simply disagrees but can't make a rational argument why. So they want a comment removed on emotional grounds. ParanoidObsessive posted... is that HOW you say something is just as important as WHAT you say. This is equally as subjective. Suppose you post something that is meant to be sarcastic and 2 people mark it as offensive. One person got the joke and was offended that you were making light of a serious subject. The other didn't get the joke and took the comment seriously. ParanoidObsessive posted... Present your opinions in a less confrontational, less acerbic way Updated my journal. Acerbic - sharp and forthright. Similar: sarcastic sardonic satirical Somehow those similar words don't seem forthright to me. I prefer to be direct with people. I prefer people to be direct with me. I find this limits misunderstanding. However, as previously stated, I don't think a better understanding is the goal in these moderations. ParanoidObsessive posted... you'll be amazed to discover you stop getting modded as much. I only seem to get modded when discussing politics.

They used to provide an explanation, but I think they stopped doing it. The one time I did get an explanation I don't think they even read my post and the explanation didn't fit with the rule sited. The rest of the time they just site the rule and leave me to guess which sentence applies. So in my dispute I go through point by point. I didn't link anything. There are no images. It's not pornographic. I didn't threaten or even direct the comment at anyone. I'm not promoting a hate group, quite the opposite in fact. --- No locked doors, no windows barred.
