You essentially told Joe, when he mentioned bad experiences, that he should suck it up and not take it personally. Hell, you could get a lawsuit for that, if you lived in California. This is like telling an African-American who lost his/her family to the KKK that a KKK protest isn't personal, and that he/she should suck it up and watch the protest.

You have absolutely not adhered to staff etiquette. The above, for one, defies it. You're supposed to set a good example. Arguing with moderators is miles away from a good example.

Watch, when I post this thirty more posts will appear before it....

And I'm not asking you to. I'm merely asking you to forget I said that, and forgive me for it. And if it isn't such a massive reason; I'd really rather we just ignore it. What is in the past, generally speaking, should stay there. That's why I didn't bring up Mairon in this; which I easily could've.

Yes, I did. I do exactly the same when someone is sexist. It just isn't worth getting hurt over something that if you take a second to look at, is a misunderstanding. Now, that isn't offensive; it's general advice from my own experience. And your example is blowing it way out of proportion.

Once again with the "shut up" tactics. They don't work; and as I've said you're breaching a large portion of State Law, alongside the Terms of Use by saying such things.
