I appreciate that you gave an apology, all I meant was that it shouldn't have happened in the first place. You need to realize that you have a position of power, and people will have stronger reactions to the things you say. In addition, if you act poorly it makes users think they can as well...

I'll just answer everyone all at the same time, since your arguments are basically the same thing. Regarding my first example, you are all telling me that it's perfectly reasonable to lose your temper and insult members just because you think they are a troll. I think a more appropriate...

I'll provide you with a few examples, and a quick description of why these reactions are immature and unprofessional. First off, there was some moderator misconduct in the homosexuality thread a while back. I even reported the mods, but heard not a word regarding it. Example 1 - Here, Livewire...

I'm just going to be completely honest here. Anyone who thinks this 'joke' is a good idea is ignorant. I don't care if it's only for a day, you don't purposely remove functions from a website just because you think it's funny. You assume everyone is going to enjoy it, then you dismiss those who...

There's a few things I can think of that make me unique. The four that come to mind are ingenuity, determination, charisma and humor. I'm a very hard worker, and have been praised for it pretty much everywhere I go. The way I approach any sort of job is with complete determination. If it has to...

I want to say something about this, but honestly I'm having a hard time coming up with something to say. I guess I'll just wing it and maybe I'll come up with something good. For me, happiness has been hard to come by for most of my life. When it does come, it's mostly been in short bursts...

I don't really have much to say on this topic. I can understand the stance people have against violence, to an extent. But saying video games cause sexism is just plain stupid. They are no more a cause of sexism (Or violence, for that matter) than movies, television, or even books.

At the moment, I think things are going in a positive direction, but over the next hundred years or so I imagine things will probably get pretty harsh. Currently, I think there are too many conflicts going on in the world. There is too much separation between nations and cultures, and I believe...

My future is still pretty undecided, but at the moment the most likely option is stick with my current job and move up through the ranks. At the moment I mostly just build pallets of soda, then load them into trucks. But I'd like to be at least a few steps higher than where I am now, even if I...

One problem is that the Treehouse has always been, as far as I can tell, a place where there is both legitimate discussion and nonsense joke threads. I'm sure the mods remember when I reported the thread regarding dinosaur butts, cause I felt it didn't make sense to have these nonsense joke...

You shouldn't treat someone any differently in death than you did in life. But you also shouldn't be grateful for anyone's death unless their entire existence resulted in suffering for a lot of people. Ya know, like Hitler and such. But your neighbor, Steve, down the road who was kind of a...

I was raised in a Mormon family, born near the heart of the religion, not far from Salt Lake City. It was a really big deal to my family, the point often being made that my ancestors were the second cousin of Joseph Smith, the guy who started the whole thing. I thought that was pretty cool when...

Faith isn't a good enough reason to deny anyone anything. Believing something without evidence is a concept that doesn't make any sense, especially since everyone's faith is different from everyone else's.

You do have the right to judge a law. You also have the right do try and change it, but it takes more than one person alone. As for breaking laws, you can do that if you want. You might be able to get away with doing so. But if you keep doing it, you'll likely go to jail or pay a fine for it...

I don't think it's a big deal, really. Kids are going to become exposed to violence at some point in their lives, and I'm pretty sure that they will be able to distinguish between violence in games and violence in real life. If anything, I would say violent games are a great stress reliever for...
