Harold you sure do have an attitude lately.
And you seem to want to encourage me in doing so. This isn't your brightest moment, and I suggest you give careful thought before you start this ball rolling.
Being a moderator should involve helping people on their way for knowledge, not telling them they are stupid if they are going to disagree with you.
He was not called stupid, not for disagreeing with me, nor for any other reason. I told him that he opened his stupid mouth, which was the truth. Had he addressed me with manners, and not used profanity, none of this would have happened. He apparently found it fitting to call me a smart ass----which told me that the only language he understands is strong, direct talk. Had he taken note that language like that is not used on this board, and had replied politely, I would have enjoyed an exchange of sorts. I have no intentions of tolerating attitudes the likes of his (or yours, so choose your words wisely).
Take note that this person asked for comments on a procedure and was provided response that was detailed enough for him to understand the message I tried to convey. The response was delivered politely, and without profanity. He was not provoked into a nasty response. It should have served to put him on notice that his method was not in his best interest, nor that of anyone that has a desire to learn to refine properly, assuming their objective is pure gold. If an individual has no concern for quality and is seeking to extract gold without taking any extra precautions, then perhaps he had a valid suggestion. Considering the pitfalls, I don't think so, but I'll be charitable and suggest he did have.
Also being a moderator should include not filling the forum with useless crap that people have to read through to see if it actually has information on gold refining.
May I suggest you begin reading threads by checking the header, and to get a better attitude? I posted the exact purpose of the new thread, all of which were files taken from another thread, which served no purpose aside from some moron trying to show the world how tough he was.
I don't take kindly to readers second guessing my position as a moderator. I also don't like your attitude, and do not intend to tolerate you, or it. If you feel you can do a better job of moderating, please submit your name to Noxx, our leader, and suggest to him that you feel you can serve in a better capacity than I can. What I don't need is to spend my time daily on a forum where people with an attitude want to abuse those that try to help them, with no promise of gain of any kind in my future.
You might also take note of how and why this person was banned from the forum. Those of us that spend our time here try to make it productive. People that find fault with anything and everything that is provided to them free of charge serve no useful purpose---and upset the flow of the forum, so it's best that they keep a low profile. Otherwise, they become my target, and will be subject to being eliminated from the privilege of reading this forum. Those of us that moderate have no intentions of letting the monkeys run the zoo, spoiling the hard work that Noxx and we moderators have invested in the successful operation of this forum. Take note that you have been granted a privilege to read here, it is not a right.
I invite you to read the latest post in the READ forum. It consists of rules of the board. Trust me that they will be enforced vigorously if they are violated.
Also, take note of my comment in the thread you find so offensive.
I do not suffer fools gladly.
Now get on with gold refining and drop this subject.
Harold
