Hi!
Your dogs take a pretty strong stance against welfare, huh?
Seriously, if that kitten had a job, this wouldn't have happened.
I suppose as a dog catcher, right?
(^_^;;
But it just confirms why I hate dogs.
Janet: Don't let this get to you. As was already said, it was probably a case where a vivid dream messed up your memory. It happens occasionally and does not mean you are broken or anything. Sure, it is very unpleasant and difficult to forget, but you should rejoice in the death not being real. Don't worry.
Armok: While I agree that people getting banned is a sad thing, I have to disagree with you stance on banning. If people broke real life laws, you wouldn't need banning, because you call the cops and have them arrested - so they will not be online anymore anyway. Banning is the way the internet polices itself.
In the case of a personal homepage/site like
Toady One's, a comparison to a party at a house is my favorite view: This site is like a big party
Toady One is throwing, inviting everyone who cares to join the fun. Banning someone means kicking them out of the party. And would you not want to throw out people who are ruining the good time for the other guests?
And in general, I can only advice against discussing individual moderator and administrator actions in public: You create confusion and fear among the community as rumors and speculations about unfair behavior and the like abound. If you have a problem with a decision, contact the person who did it via
PM or e-mail, or, if you feel that would cause additional trouble/misunderstandings, contact an administrator.
