While it is quite probable that I am superior to you, it was not the primary purpose of my reply. Your original post just screamed for my response.  I was just obliging.

By who's definition?  Pity, as I've always considered it, and as it is defined in certain reference books, is compassion for those that are suffering or are distressed.  Certainly not implying a sense of superiority.

Just one example when doing a net search:

http://www.wordreference.com/definition/pity

Not a lot there to imply superiority.

Sure  - this..

THis post absolutely boils me. Not because of what was said but who said it. It shows a complete disregard of those who use the product, and implies they are somehow inferior. Its also a post , that I have a hunch, wouldn't be uttered face to face. Its a holier than thou , better than you, demigod post. And I resent it. Keeping the "sheep" happy had better be a joke.  There is NEVER an excuse to treat people like sheep.


Cool.


What's this one about?

i agree on this one ...but not without disclaimer...

its not usually a good idea for a vendor to excercize verbal contempt for a customer...but then, we all have our definition of moderator, and i have no personal ill will towards the "perp".

we have had our differences...but i came to the conclusion that its just not that easy being a moderator, especially not in this muddy room of vagrant troll monsters and crabheads....we shouldnt expect that anyone would have to clam thier lips because they work for the company...so long as the power isnt excercized in such a way as to become unfair and domineering.

an opinion is a right that we all should have...AND SO SHOULD HE.

i have seen cases where i didnt think that it was being excercized fairly and  i have expressed my feelings on the matter at such times.  our moderator has listened and when i have actually discussed it with him has proven fair in the end.

when it comes down to it...its a ****e job having to put up with us.

so, until i reach a point where i feel that his words are actually personal and not due to the volumous pressure of dealing with our collective insanity, or until i feel that he is excercizing it without the interests of the board and the community in mind i continue to pay my dollar.

when that line is crossed...i wont.  

we all have that right.

and so does a moderator in his world.
