This is a good point. I think it's different when you have a friendship with someone and the seemingly rude banter is accepted as affection on both sides. Jumping on people with insults, even joking, when you don't know them well and can't convey tone effectively is problematic.

I'm guilty of this because I just assume people understand my sense of humor when it's not exactly universal. :p

I'd like to point out that in general, this is an ongoing difficulty with moderating any group of people and amongst the mods, we talk about this difficulty a lot. What looks like total insults could be joking and fun between two good friends or people who know each other from other websites, IRL, whatever. As mods, it's really hard for us to figure out when something is a joke or isn't a joke because we can't keep track of everyone's friendships with everyone else to try to decipher when something might be an inside joke or a friendship style, nor would it be even possible for us to track and know all of that about everyone. If someone sees what looks like an insult, sometimes the mods know that it's really a joke between two people who are pals and the observer may not realize they have a pre-existing friendship. And other times, the mods just don't know. We do our best with the information we have but also have to rely on reports and PMs from forum members to let us know if someone's being truly a jerk and not just joking around with a pal.

I can see why this would be exceptionally difficult. We need like a spreadsheet or something. :p

In all seriousness, I think you guys do a good job with a tricky situation.

I have to start them for real as well. haven't worked nearly enough today to account for all the computer time. taking a break from doing nothing. then will do 5's with you until the batch is gone! and btw I DID know you are a guy. just was being overly cautious just in case.

You could have one of those "nice days" every month or something. Although we barely made it through the last one.

Well that what is like with peach. Nobody could tell he was legit getting pissed till he said he was done with the forum. Cause we've joked like that before. If he said something rather then abruptly just saying im done. We wouldve stopped.
