Well for a few reasons:
1: the language isnt really strong enough usually to warrant an official writeup and all that.
2: In some ways I'm probably letting it rankle me a bit more than I should. People dont know any better and without chasing them around with a rolled up newspaper they arn't going to change their attitude about things. I probably should take the advice of my own sig. Although I warn others that if i say somethign negative about city dwellers to take it in the same vein.
3: No matter how nice or polite you guys are this is mainly a perceptual problem and bringing big brother into this is kinda like using the cops for a thoughtcrime instead of a realcrime. So again I probably tend to report less than I might or possibly should.
4: I'm more of a confronter than a runner to authority. Personal attitudes. I'm gettign a lot better at it than I used to be though.
5: Still gettign used to the fact that not all moderators have a personal power trip against those they disagree with. Been burned on a couple boards and banned from one for life for disagreeing with a moderator over politics and then them abusing their power against me on a personal vedetta.
6: Maybe by discussing it instead of just playign tattle and lettign someone know they bothered someone with their comments it might help them think more about it instead of just getting resentful at authority for stepping on their toes and accusing them of thoughtcrime.
7:maybe I'm reading too much into this.
Anyhow. It'll all work out in the end. Thanks for listening.
And if you have a problem with the language used in a post, report it. Nothing changes without a report. Being offended in-thread changes nothing. People don't use the report button enough, but instead decide to either quietly be offended, or make it their personal mission to fix it themselves. This is why we're here people! We don't bite! Honest!
