You are certainly entitled to edit as you see fit, of course, but please if you or anyone else is considering "reviewing" the post in which I "voice my opinions," please also consider reviewing CC's post(s) as well. If correcting someone's word usage is considered too rude for forum guidelines, then in my personal opinion referring to a group of students as "too stupid and whacked on so many drugs to think of ideas on their own" and receiving help from terrorist organizations to "promote socialist agenda and hatred for America" would also be considered too rude for forum guidelines. I don't really understand why you would say that the rest of the post is staying "but" there is concern I'm voicing my opinions - if the issue is personal attacks, or inappropriate language, or something equally against the TOS, feel free to edit it or ask me to edit it. I'm just feeling like there's not a very clear standard being maintained here - I wouldn't mind some clarification as to what is going "too far" versus not.
I'm not sure where the current forum guidelines are kept, so I'm not sure if sweeping insults are acceptable if they are targeted at a group instead of an individual, though I would hope not - maybe I was out of line, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't. The two aren't necessarily related. But if there is some sort of a review of the thread, I hope I would not be the only subject of scrutiny.
Sorry if I'm coming across as snarky - I'm not intending to, I know you're just doing your "job," I'm just perturbed. I'm sure you're not floating in an innertube with a margarita in hand, either, so again apologies for any sharpness I might not have avoided well enough.
Thanks,
Courtney
P.S. If anything I was "baiting" not not being "rude"
P.P.S. It might not hurt to make posting rules more easily accessible - if I'm having trouble finding the content guidelines (other than movie disclaimers, etc.) I'm sure others are as well.
