So what you got a bullshit infraction? Its not like you were banned or anything. Its not like anyone physically assailed you. No rather someone clicked a button that gave you a notification to think about what you are saying. That's literally all an infraction is. How sad is it to complain so vigorously over such a silly thing. This is nothing at all like getting an anvil dropped on your foot. It would be more accurate to compare to a situation where someone accidentally bumped into you and keeps walking without saying sorry so you turn around and start screaming about what a fuck they are.
Really, comparing butthurt on the internet to immense physical pain is just sad.
No, what's sad is supposed adults that click buttons on a control panel as some vengeful way to "get back" at someone, all because their feelings and ego was hurt in some stupid online debate. In theory the purpose to a moderators job is to maintain forum integrity, yet all wrongful moderating does is initiate even more drama and idiocy. Meanwhile, posters like Bling Bling are encouraged to spew their incoherent drivel, while out the other side of Arnox's mouth he supposedly "cares" about the quality of threads and the forum as a whole. Hypocrisy at its worst.
And the anvil metaphor wasn't trying to compare the "pain" inflicted, instead provide a simple example of someone that is innocent and just going about their day and what happens when they unfortunately come across an inept dolt. Its Arnox/the anvil dropper that fucked up, and whatever the other guy's reaction is....still does NOT justify the incompetence and stupidity. Nice try at flipping the script.
As for someone bumping into me on the streets, I don't know how you go about your life....but yeah, if some jackass is aloof/oblivious/incompetent and doesn't acknowledge their error...I most certainly DO call them out for their indiscretion. Perhaps not start "screaming at them" like you tried to portray to further overdramatize or vilify the innocent party, but they most certainly WILL walk away realizing the mistake they made. If they don't have the courtesy or awareness to understand or acknowledge what they did wrong, I'm only too eager to put them in their place and give them a simple lesson in common sense. Walking down the street, driving down the road, just navigating a shopping cart in a grocery store.....if some dickhead doesn't have graciousness and remorse after they did something stupid while stepping on my or anyone else's toes, they absolutely WILL hear about it.
