(96,043 posts)I suspect they linger with many as a sort of customary usage, though, and so I do not think it completely without point or merit to point to them. I am also well aware this person can be quite abrasive. Owing to this, a great many here do not like her. I understand that, in some degree, that is how the system in place now is intended to work; a person who offends or annoys a great many people may be at greater risk from jury action in consequence. The most recent hide is the one I meant when I said one would probably have been removed by moderator action. I agree that the oldest of them was about the roughest. We would seem in agreement, though, that the others really would not have been actionable, and were not good hides even by current standards. My comment should be taken as no more or less than I stated: applying the standards I was used to applying as a moderator, I would have voted to remove only one. The rest I would have stated come near the line, maybe right up to it, but stay in bounds. I do not particularly like this member; I do not agree with her on a number of things. But I recognize the signs of a hunting pack directed at one member; it was a thing we would occasionally find happening from a moderator's vantage. I did not like them then, and I do not like them now.
