To follow up on the above thought, I found it much more troubling that people DID NOT HIT the moderation button when certain people were being aggressive or crapping on each other in non-audio meltdown threads, but INCESSANTLY HIT Mike Moffat's stereotype comment on LGBT with macs. People will have to be responsible for reporting all types of bad behavior on the new site.

Ha ha, you were part of some of those meltdowns (me, too!)!!! It's completely cool that you are letting yourself be moderated just like everyone. I think the new site is going to be great.

N.B. Just wanted to say for the record I never had any sort of problem with Mike's comments about macs!

Yes. It's completely inappropriate, racist, immature, degrading, humiliating, ignominious, antagonistic, ignoble and vile. I think that if one should call something for what it is and by it's proper name: El Le

I'm offended that you are offended.

I dunno...My students think I have unlimited patience, and I find it sad that having a teacher that blows up maybe twice a year is so out of the ordinary that students comment on it almost weekly. I guess it also helps when I am white-hot with anger, I go steely cold.

Try not to offend and in turn, try not to be offended.
Try not to bait and in turn, try not to take the bait.

All sorts of stuff gets thrown my way, but I don't have the time or energy to take it personally.

Oh well, back to grading and trying to find a version of Pachelbel's Canon in D with String Quartet, Harpsichord AND bassoon. Youtube, you fail me.    <-- youtube!

Shitting and fucking are natural bodily functions.

So "this headphone sounds like fucking shit" is in?

Shitting and fucking are natural bodily functions.

Does Jason/Mike care if we use schitt instead ?

It really depends on context. You got to ask yourself: Is this civilized?
