I almost started one of these in Hearth and Home recently, after some weird posts in GU, triggered by Mirage, but decided against it. Once again, I'm thinking it might be a good thing - or thread to do.

Like any dysfunctional family, things tend to get pushed under the rug here, and I don't think it's healthy, productive or helpful to anyone.

Here, we can state our complaints out in the open and with the help of other members, hopefully resolve them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My first one will go to Moderator LEXX and something she said tonight in this closed thread:

Are you fraking stupid????????????

As you can see earlier on in the thread, she talks alot about "doing her job" (as a Moderator) and seems to feel very strongly about upholding all the rules of LL and making sure they are enforced. She takes her job very seriously and as a Mod is supposed to be setting a good example.

Yet she screams at me, asking me if I am stupid. A member who's she knows very well after all these years on the forums and knows very well is not someone who is "stupid".

Is that appropriate Moderator behavior? To scream at someone asking if them if they are "fraking stupid"? Just because they don't hate another member with as much passion as she does? Another member who *wait for it!* broke the rules OOOOoooohhhh!

I know that LEXX has mentioned countless times that she has a genius IQ, but I've never believed it for a number of reasons.

A woman at her age, who is also supposed to be Moderating a few forums and goes about screaming at people for breaking the rules, then asks someone (not seriously) if they are "fraking stupid"? It's really rude.

So, my complaint tonight goes out to LEXX. Someone who can't seem to get her own **** together, but can scream at how stupid other people are and always remind us of how much worse she's had it.

Who, when anyone has any kind of ailment, comes swooping into to remind everyone that "that isnt anything!" she can top that!

I will refrain from giving an endless list of examples. But I for one am sick of it. And have been disgusted with it all for a long time now.

I've fallen for a lot of bs....and that's how I know who's being real and who isnt. Now for someone to proclaim to love the forum and be doing a great job then to sink to that level in the same breath, seals the deal.

I'm tired of it. Walk your talk. I'm not going to baby you like some people here do, because I don't believe a word that comes out of your mouth.

Now I'll probably be banned. Which is fine with me.

I just had to say it. The unedited version was a lot different and I had to cut a lot of it back and keep it straight to the point.

A Mod should not flip out on a member like she did to me. Especially after talking about how much she respects the rules of the forum and polices the place like an psycho ex boyfriend. B **** could bring up threads from before you were even born...

That's it for today.
