preussisch_blauAllow me to rant. It's my journal, I'll say what I want to.
A certain person is pissing me off. Cynthia, to be precise. I'll use her real name because she prefers people using it as opposed to calling her Moon, and I actually respect people's preferences to what they want to be called.
She seems to not get the hint that I don't like being called by my real name. I don't like it. Bird will suffice just fine, thank you, and I don't enjoy having to ask repeatedly, then TELL repeatedly, that I would prefer to be called something other than my real name. Hell, if she wanted to, she could call me "Crazy Nazi Bitch Mod" or something like that. I wouldn't like it, but at this point all I'd really like is for her to cut it the fuck out with my real name.
Actually, I'd also like for her to cut it the fuck out with calling me a Nazi. Sorry, I don't go around euthanising the crazies and Jews, and locking up the people who disagree with me. Actually, truth be told? If I lived in Nazi Germany, I'd probably have been killed. So calling me a Nazi doesn't sit well with me.
Yes, good communities encourage discussion. Good mods, depending on the community, discourage wank. You want a wank free-for-all, I really recommend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
stupid_free or a similar comm. In fact, right now there's some delicious wank about what it means to be racist and who can be racist. I modeled my moderation style after some of my favourite mods. Mods who will put up with dissent, but won't tolerate outright wank. Shockingly, the only people who have problems with that tend to be the people who think they're so special that the rules should be enforced on anyone disagreeing with them, but when the rules are used against them, then the mods are being pointless and arbitrary with their rules. I've seen it plenty of times before as a casual viewer of a comm.
You know, I should be the better person and just drop this. Except really. She's all sweetness and thanks and such in her public posts, but the moment she thinks I won't find out what she's saying about me, it's back to the old using my name and calling me immature and a Nazi!mod.
Edit: Yes, I'm aware this may not be the most mature way to go about expressing my frustrations and I should just let sleeping dogs lie, but she's not being the paragon of adult behaviour either. Besides, I could do a whole lot worse.

Date: 6 August 2008 19:05 (UTC)Personally, I don't care if someone tells her. Just so long as they don't let her use their username to post shit.
Honestly? At this point, I wish she'd quit saying how bad she wants to cut and how much she wants to kill herself. I can't take her seriously about that anymore. Either do it or shut the fuck up.
Maybe I shouldn't be so callous, but... ugh. You know, I genuinely worried about her. She treated me like crap, she encourages people to treat my friends like crap, and she's a two-faced, manipulative, conniving little shrew.

Date: 6 August 2008 22:13 (UTC)My advice would be to ignore her. Don't let her try to get a rise out of you.
