[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW, I don't find Jeff, or his moderation, to be "out of control" at all. I think he shows a lot more patience than I would.  Face it, people on this site do behave worse than 8th graders with a substitute teacher and a certain point all Jeff can do is exercise his best judgment and wait for people to complain.[/quote]
FWIW, you took the "out of control" out of context.  In that context it was more the "I wasn't kidding" and "I don't want to have to tell you again" and "I really meant it" type of language he uses.  I find it unnecessarily hostile.  I never meant to infer that Jeff was out of control.  In fact, if he's anything he's in control.    [/quote]

Maybe you regret your choice of words but "out-of-control" was not taken out of context by the PP.  Here's the quoted bolded:

[quote]Yeah, I get that it's your sandbox or henhouse or whatever. And I find your quick response to technology-related questions to be extremely helpful. But now I see your posts are tending to be either offensive (abortion, STFU) or [b]you appear to be the angry out-of-control substitute teacher yelling at a bunch of rowdy school children[/b]. What's with all the hostility? You, and probably only you, know that some of these posters asking you questions are not the same "Amys" that you've referred to or other people who are just out to spoil your day. [/quote]

Even if you wanted to compare Jeff to a teacher trying to reign in an "out-of-control" class, the analogy doesn't work.  The teacher either lets the kids run rampant or take steps that the kids might not like to regain control of the classroom.  You may not like his language or find him hostile but so what?  He's entitled to post just like anyone else and before you start complaining about him, why don't you get a UserName so we can let you know when we find you out-of-control, offensive or hostile.  Stop giving him grief.
