LOL! Alert your posts? What a farce. So that your buddies on the mod team will hide your sleaze? No I think it best to leave it out in the open where everyone can see it.
Don't pretend to tell me what I think. I've never said Suzi needs protection. She's more than capable of taking care of herself. However, she HAS repeatedly requested that know how she could possibly have made it any more clear that these statements are unwelcome.
More than likely because either the comments are less in quantity/quality/aggressiveness than Rag's or she actually sees my posts for what they are.
Edit - In case you still haven't found out, I don't doubt Suzi is female.
Edit 2 - But I do doubt she sees my posts for what they are. Such is life.

Originally posted by leisurelyslothHow did I "abuse" her? With that single post? You really have no sense of proportion.

I read that to mean that she doesn't care about my "abuse" as much as she cares about Rag's posts. Personally, I don't see how I "abuse" her. Banter? Sure. Provocation? Definitely. Abuse? Not at all.
Originally posted by PalynkaIt stops being banter or provocation when someone says that it's unwelcome and they want it to stop. At that point the "sense of proportion" is not relevant. And it's not just a one time deal as you're claiming. You made similar comments in the other thread.

Originally posted by leisurelyslothAll I'm saying is that it's not up to you to decide if she sees my posts as abuse or not.

Edit - Sure, she has said that she doesn't find them funny and, at least, implied that they are unwelcome. But abuse is more than unwelcome posts.
Originally posted by PalynkaYup. Ultimately I'm not the arbiter of what is and isn't abuse. Be glad for that, because you'd be looking for a new place to play chess right now if I were.

What is your definition of abuse? Do you have to hunt her down personally and punch her in the nose before you'd consider it abuse? Repeated posts which attack her personally in a way that she's said is unwelcome don't meet your definition?
Originally posted by leisurelyslothI just think you're just lumping me with Rags. He has his own motives and I'm not here to attack or defend him. Like I said, I think Suzi can speak for herself and I don't see myself in the same category as Rags. I might be wrong, of course.

I did not find Hari's terse and to the point posts as obnoxious as many others on this site. He at least kept his posts short! I found some biting, but often right on target. I have often wondered why certain people can be targeted and maligned freely if they fall into certain categories. Being someone who fits into several categories that are commonly attacked freely without impugnity, I only take it to mean that the RHP owners are in consensus with the attackers.
