	Matt at Trinity does witness facilitating for various Cons throughout the year, send your books to him for a con he has scheduled, he gets them signed and sent to CBCS.

I stopped doing that something. Pretty simple really. We are hanging out on a business' website. The mods must defend the wall, they need to protect the brand over all else; and they should. Even if that means stomping on someone for what may seem to others as undeserved. Absolutely! It's important for any business to protect its interests, or it doesn't long remain in business. That said, businesses are still made up of people, and people do things they shouldn't, including things that might be contrary to the interests of the company. It's important to treat every customer and potential customer with respect, by being open to criticism (how else will they improve?), and treating everyone with courtesy and dignity by applying the rules consistently to all, all the time, regardless of one's personal feelings. That is success! And if all else fails, rant, rave and make vile comments about people here elsewhere as opposed to telling them how you really feel. I'm not sure I know to what you're referring, but as shrewbeer said, this is a BUSINESS website, and it's not appropriate...or welcome...to be completely honest with how someone "really feels", especially when people have, themselves, been vile in their own behavior. There are places that are appropriate for those kinds of conversations...this is not one of them, understandably so. For those in the know, the bolded is all anyone really needs to see Might I ask to what you're referring, so we're not all in the dark...? After all, isn't your point about how people are supposed to be honest about how they really feel...? OK, you post some pretty vile things on another message board about several members who post on this board. Things that you would probably never have the courage to say to someone directly. I would post direct links but I know those would get deleted. Are "we" not in the dark now? Or would you like to continue your hypocrisy? See, this is the kind of thing that isn't appropriate here. If you have a personal issue with someone, you should deal with it privately, or elsewhere where it is appropriate, rather than casting aspersions on them where it isn't (here.) If you "know those would get deleted", that should be your hint that these things aren't appropriate. You asked, I answered, interesting concept, no? I guess you'd rather continue the hypocrisy. I'd rather continue the conversation where it's appropriate...the public space of this message board isn't that place. I'm sure that can be agreed to by all? Sure, go ahead and PM me. Maybe you can PM everyone here you've had something to say about in your safe space.

	This would be very beneficial if CBCS had a service like this, but it would cause them to have more liability with insurers and beef up their staff.

	These super long messages that are arguments about arguments are making me very lost...can we tone it down just a hair? Or maybe move that topic to another thread? This is @odvar 's thread and he just has a few questions he's trying to get answered but he's getting drowned out in the mix. I'm not trying to be rude or put a stop to the conversation, I just want to give the poor guy a chance to be heard.

	@DocBrown I don't think there is an actual LCS (although there might be). Several members here have used them a lot and all have great things to say. I have two books in the process myself that were signed by Jim Lee and Jock. Those will be shown off once they get back from CBCS.

I have two books in the process myself that were signed by Jim Lee and Jock. Those will be shown off once they get back from CBCS. I had a couple of books I wanted to get signed by Jock, including that fantastic Batman Annual #25 cover, but I never managed to connect with him at SDCC. I did, however, get to see Lee, and got some killer sigs, at the Wildstorm 25th Anniversary party. That was crazy.

I disagree. I am aware of a poster on another forum (that I am a mod on) who continued their activity for years and every attempt to discourage their behavior was met with scorn by them. Harsh measures where brought down upon that poster. Once that decision came down, they decided to change their way of er, ummm, expressing their thoughts. That poster learned an important lesson or two. One, the are disposable to the forum in question. Two, when push came to shove, they needed that forum more than it needed them. Therefore, they changed their pernicious ways.

That poster learned an important lesson or two. One, the are disposable to the forum in question. Two, when push came to shove, they needed that forum more than it needed them. Therefore, they changed their pernicious ways. There's a reason why we have things like "trial by juries." You talk about being a mod (which automatically puts you in a biased position...and "bias" isn't a bad word, it's just the word that fits)...and you dealt with this person for "years." Is it possible that your bias led you, in an increasing downward spiral, to view this member with scorn yourself, which caused you to view their activity much more harshly, assuming malicious intent in every post, no matter what they said...? You're not a robot. No one is. Bias exists, and it leads us to view things in ways that distort our perception...whether we're consciously aware of it or not. I say you absolutely did have bias against this poster. Look at the language you use to describe them: "their pernicious ways." "Every attempt to discourage...was met with scorn." What other impression is one supposed to get besides "man, this poster must have been a jerk!" You don't even ALLOW for your own bias, here. Maybe they were exactly what you say. Maybe they weren't. But your opinion...and the opinion of a group of like-minded people...is going to be clouded by your bias. Familiarity breeds contempt for a reason. I suspect, if put before a jury of strangers, the vast majority of these cases would have a decidedly different outcome. I'm not suggesting that everyone is innocent, and that they don't intend malice...that's on view in this very thread...what I AM suggesting is that the way to deal with "people who say things you don't like" is to either dispassionately discuss the issue, or ignore them. Responding to what you perceive to be malice with malice of your own...whether a moderator, an admin, or just a poster...makes you guilty of the very same thing, and removes your ability to make impartial decisions.
