I think you either ignored or missed the word "just" in my comment. There are some who overuse the abuse button. But the problem isn't just that.

Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

Your #364: I think you either ignored or missed the word "just" in my comment. There are some who overuse the abuse button. But the problem isn't just that. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify.

Thanks for the clarification. I wasn't sure if "button happy" meant overuse, particularly since what your own eyes saw meshed with the reports.

Hopefully I have never been considered one of the button happy people. I have never been told that I was, except by my critics who keep claiming that I am responsible for all sorts of things disappearing, something I am powerless to make happen.

On the other hand, the whole reason we are having this thread in the first place is that far too many posts have been made that violate the rules, but abuse was never pushed, nor did the moderators pull them, and the posts are still there.

The brawlers are going to try to make overuse of the abuse button the bigger problem, but as the article says, the brawling is the bigger problem. How much would the abuse button be used if there were no brawling?

Thanks for your help, and for all that you have done.
