ORIGINAL: Mercnbeth quote:
It was not My intention. . . . "Not My intention", is the rationalization of almost every wrongful act. It was not the intention of the arsonist to kill the family sleeping next door to the factory he was burning down. It was not the intention of man celebrating the 4th of July who shot a gun in the air to have the bullet land in the body of neighbor. And I'd bet it's not the intention of any drunk driver to kill a family when he/she gets behind the wheel of their car when driving home from the bar. Those are three examples of what can happen when rules aren't followed. Similarly all these consequences don't necessarily happen ALL the time. But they can. It's the point of having rules/laws. CollarMe is no different. 99.9% of the time breaking the posting rules have consequence to no body but the poster and those that posted afterwards, and the worst case is that people's time was wasted. In this case, a valuable resource, Moderator Four was lost to all of us. I know, "it was not your intention". quote:
How about stating what the cost is for the expanded use and if I desire to post something that takes up space I can pay for it This is an amazing parallel to the drunk driver who wants to pay a fine or, if rich enough, pay large restitution to the family in lieu of prison. I guess it's another admission of guilt but refusal to accept responsibility or consequences. Well, that's acceptable in US society today. The world is full of enablers and why shouldn't CollarMe follow the trend. The damage is done, and no juvenile poll will replace the loss of Mod4. I usually enjoy y'alls posts, but in this instance I'm not sure that I'm following you. Comparing Dreads' posting and willingness to pay for bandwith to a drunken driver is a bit extreme, don't you think?? She has been a valued (and quite colorful) member of c.com since long before I (and y'all) joined. I generally agree with her and am always fascinated. I think that she's a wonderful part of c.com.
