This seems like a bit of an overreaction to me...

There's no conspiracy theory here, I have quoted her exact words, it's up to others to tell.

Even you, according to her, is very likely not worthy to know - and you are assumed of not doing effort.

How can we make an effort if people consider us unworthy of communicating with?

She's never bothered me. I don't see why she should be stripped of her status. I may not agree with her opinions on some things, but that doesn't make her a bad moderator.

@OP I don't think this thread is a good idea. You could get banned for this. I think the best thing to do if you have any concerns about a moderator is PM Alex or another moderator.

I agree.. I would've just replaced nerds and introverts with "humans" :? I don't think she was attacking autism, but that should go without saying. Who honestly likes people who make no effort, though? Where's to disagree?

To clarify, I was referring to people who spend all their time socializing behind a computer screen, have absolutely nothing going on in their life, and make no effort to socialize........and that includes NT extroverts.

Sly is the one who brought up nerds and introverts, and it was Boo Face who assumed I was generalizing about ONLY nerds and introverts. BTW, I'm not worth getting to know by many people, and I'm perfectly fine with that seeing as I have nothing to offer them.

Oh, and thanks everyone for your support. I'll let the other mods decide what to do with this thread as I've decided to be a good sport about it. 8)

She is only posting the truth.

Since I agree with her, and have posted my agreements in the same thread, why have you not petitioned to have me banned, as well?

Is it because she's a moderator, because she has opinions that you don't like, or because she's a woman?

... A woman in a position of authority, who is not afraid to express her opinions in a public venue ... is that your real reason for wanting her de-modded?

The only thing that should matter is if she is a bad mod, not her personal opinion. Is she banning people or locking threads based on members lack of IRL socialization? If not I don't see a problem.

Her personal opinion should be treated as any other members opinions are, disagree or agree with the opinion, don't get personal.

Projecting your own sexism against women on me and putting words in my mouth?

[opening can of worms]
Because everyone knows how much you view them as suspect leechers and alimony seekers.

You never get tired of stupid arm chair psychoanaylsis?

As an answer to your stupid question; no, I have no problem with her being a woman nor ever had a problem to work for a female boss.

I was very clear why l had problem with what she said.

It's not like we mere users have any business trying to pressure Alex into removing someone's moderator status. It's also not the first time I've felt slighted by one, but I'm not complaining. If, at some point, posting on these forums becomes unbearable to me, I'll just silently leave, assuming I haven't been banned yet, and I hope the former doesn't happen, because, to me it would be a defeat. If you're not strong enough to bear the opinions of strangers on the Internet, and on a quite peaceful corner of it at that, what are you strong enough for?

This is Alex's site. If you don't like what he or his moderators do, you'd better go away.

To the OP: Boo, this isn't the right way to go about things. There was no personal attack involved, just differing views. We need to bear with one another without petty bickering, which benefits no one. Everyone needs to operate within the spirit of the rules, and to allow for differences of opinion.

After due consultation, this thread is now locked.
