Someone from SW posted the cache'd topic for all of our reference.

I've had posts moderated in the water cooler section... really there doesn't need to be a moderator for that section... i think someone was just on a power trip.

@brianlittlejohn Jeremy_b is I believe..

"And here we go again" LOL

I had a different one moderate mine...

Are you Jeremy_b?
I honestly don't care, but to moderate someone giving advice because someone is butt-hurt is f[moderated]ing stupid.

No I was chuckling at that comment someone had stuck in the middle of that whole thread.
I guess upon looking it is appears as though I was saying that.
Stupid non emotional typing.

And totally agreed unless it resorts to terrible name calling and personal attacks.

Yeah, I disliked that one because I know why it was said - not because it was another newbie posting the same mistakes without having taken any effort to know what the accumulated community knowledge was, but because we were trying to inform that newbie of that knowledge. He was basically "Oh brother, here we go again not just congratulating someone and not holding them to a high standard."
Which I understand why people are tired of the bar being held high, but likewise, we are tired of people asking the same questions and making the same mistakes without learning. It's not a rare one, this. It comes up, quite literally, daily. So it isn't like he would have to had stuck around. ANY effort would have shown him that this would have been the response. An algorithm could have done the response, it is so canned by now.

Your account is probably in moderation for being an asshat. Not only were you rude about it in the thread that was removed, you saved the screenshot and reposted it in another thread.

Yeah; Well you're a prick. How do you like them apples?
FYI the pic was returned to the condition in which it was, without the OP's information.

Don't Sweat JB, Dustin - he's an asshat at times too.

We are all asshats at times... that is what makes ML great!

I have never claimed to be perfect. But acting all innocent here is certainly an inaccurate portrayal.

Absolutely - and I did see some of the thread - Scott and Dustin where their normal selves (I would have been too if I had posted). The problem with forums is a lack of emotional balance from ton, facial expressions, etc.
Take that piled on with millennials wanting to be coddled all the time, and we have an overly sensitive situation.
It does take an overly large amount of effort to write a post that while not being PC is also not potentially viewed as condescending or any other adjective you want to use.

I've never acted innocent here. Simply stating for those watching the topic that might be wondering why I'm not responding to the topic.
-
I took a few asshatty comments when I first came here, and then realized...Hey, nothing personal. I'm sure anyone here would have a drink after acting like an asshat. It's what we do.
-
This poor guy inherited a setup with a failed RAID 5 array and no working backup system. The array rebuilt but the filesystem had corrupted during the extended array failure. Whoever was there before him really set that company up well.
-
Ouch, that one is going to be rough. He's very lucky that he did not lose the entire array.
