Sometimes, I am begging the moderator to pull my post, it gets so bad.
When I get that way I type my response but get up and walk around the room a couple times.
then I reread and decide if I really want to hit the post button.
It apparently works for me. A coiuple of months ago a bunch of were on a thread with a couple of the moderators and they explained that there is a record of abues reports kept on each poster.
Not only was the mod and some of the other posters surprised, I was absolutely stunned silent that in over 12,000 posts I have made since the implepemtation of the moderators - there has not be one ABUSE report registered against me.
Now I am very diligent in staying away from getting nasty - I like tha record!!! LOL!
