and you are correct - I shouldn't have went asshole. I will
apologize for using the word. <br>
<br>
I'm 2000% good with moderation or a ban. I'm happy with it because I
did something to hopefully stop the silliness that a percentage of
the users exhibit up here. I hope the COC causes some people to
think twice...possibly leave....because the bad behavior will not be
tolerated. <br>
<br>
I was referred here over a similar blowup - I'm looking for my
diverse OSM using community. I witnessed the same thing happening
again - it shouldn't happen here of all places. Too many times in my
OSM life I've run into problems over abusive behavior. I've been on
both sides of it - I'm no angel in this by any stretch. I've had
well respected users in the community go "LOL you know that's just
the way <fill in the blank> is...LOL...Gotta love him/her" and
excuse the behavior. Well - no I don't have to excuse it. It's
inexcusable. Same thing with me calling serge an asshole.
Inexcusable. <br>
<br>
I don't believe this is a personal play ground for a few - although
it seems that way far too often. I try to stay involved - and I see
these outbursts. I want more people in OSM - But I'm not going to
drag them into an environment where this can happen...and is
tolerated. <br>
<br>
I'm fine with a ban/moderation if that falls in line with the COC.
It won't be appealed because I know calling someone a name shouldn't
be tolerated. In the same way attacking someone over email shouldn't
be tolerated or appealed. I had a friend leave OSM due to Serge's
outbursts. He was rude to her in person. He was rude to her over
email. She's gone. Won't be back. I brought her back into this a
second time after the first incident going: "LOL you know that's
just the way <fill in the blank> is...LOL...Gotta love
him/her". It was Stupid on my part because I knew what would
happen...if it happened once it will happen again. <br>
<br>
Alyssa doesn't need banned or moderated. She responded to an attack.
All she deserves is welcomed back. <br>

even if his message wouldn't merit respect, he as a person
likely does. Really no need to call anyone an asshole,
especially when the topic is the discussion of a code of
conduct.<br>
