Due to someone honestly meaning well*, 2 hrs worth of work was just erased from the board.
90 mins of which was me slugging through 5 pages of a thread of people having bad days, people getting insulted by complete misunderstandings of what other people said, and people flinging well-written insults at each other over a subject most people...including the insult flingers...thought was a waste of time. They just couldn't let it go. 30 mins was a case by case basis of where people misunderstood one another.
This stops.
Now. I'm the one considered the good cop around here**, and my patience is at an end. The subject of Harry's education on the TV show is officially closed. Grudges will not be carried over (or at least reflected in) other posts. We're chalking this up to a bad day, and leaving it at that.
Official warnings will be given out next time there is behavior unbecoming a member of this board. Repeat offense will lead to forced vacations.*** This will have no bearing whatsoever on the moderator's opinion on what is being discussed. In fact, several of the people who almost got official warnings today are people who I agreed with, in regards to the original subject matter. This is also not restricted to those people who were flinging insults...this applies to everyone.
*To said person: Don't sweat it. I know you meant well. I'm not mad at you.
**Priscellie hasn't been catagorized, yet. Maybe the fully-rendered cop.
