In case anyone is wondering what might be included in the definition of "don't be an asshole," it includes such things as completely unnecessary shout-outs.

Too bad, so sad, don't let the door hit you on the way out lwood.

Wait, self-snark is assholish behavior?

That wasn't a shout-out--that was an expression of genuine concern. I've been knitting for five years, but have not much participated in online knitting communities. After reading this community for a few weeks, I was scared to post to advanced_knit at all.

Still, following Rule Three, I decided to post anyway.

I didn't expect to be kicked out for that--snarked, yes. Kicked?

Sounds assholish to me.

However, not being a moderator, my ability to say anything in response to an arbitrary decision is...hm. Lacking.

I suspect, however, for my trouble, I will get snarked, comm-eyes-only, for flouncing.

Whatever.

*shrug* In many years of moderating fairly fractious communities, the first offense--when I'm running it, anyhow--has tended to merit a warning or temporary loss of posting privileges.

Not "a kick to the curb within fifteen minutes", complete with public post that would appear to violate the comm's own rules on assholish behavior.

Again: I am not trying to flounce. I am responding to you.

Oh my god. This woman. I have SUCH stories. SUCH. I can't even tell you.

[stacye13]

Sure you can!!

Wouldn't that be snarking the poster, not the post? Just sayin'.

Oh sure, go and throw the rules at me. :P
