Oh dear you guys take this seriously.
Lynn, you may not give a fuck what people get, but i'm afraid to say you neither control their university applications nor do you seem like someone whose advice is worth listening to. What's the point of taking in what you have to say if you have no care whatsoever for the marks that will eventuate?
What the fuck is your problem? Honestly.
On English Extension 2:
As far as this course goes, as Mike mentioned there are other ways than pomo to getting high marks. The only reason pomo appears to be the key to high marks is because the ones that get recognised (in Showcase, etc) are pomo-esque. You are intelligent enough to know this and should not be encouraging their people to bend over backwards in order to use a style they may not be comfortable with. And with any style, if you can't do it you won't do the marks. One should always stick to what they know and what they are good at, using their skills to the best of their ability while sticking to the criteria. This is the key to marks.
On your attitude towards others in the community:
You are a coward. You have criticised my modding in public at least twice (here and in Reading Room), as well as Lynn's at least once (in here), and yet each time I direct you to somewhere where you can solve the problem in private, I see nothing. You bitch about my modding to other moderators, and even when they direct you to the appropriate places to complain, you never take it up. Do you expect us to be cowed by the fact that you're rude and arrogant? We know you're intelligent, but no one respects arrogance. Do you expect me to change my moderating approach just because you'd do it better?
You are in no position to talk to people on this forum the way you do. You treat others like shit and expect them to accept your opinions or insults because they are "obviously morons", and then complain when other people "act like a moderator". If you have such problems with behaviour like this, especially in my forums, take it up with me. If you think you can do the job better
apply for a moderator position yourself. I'm sure your arrogance will be a key factor when deciding on that vote.
You're all talk. Bitch all you like in public, but I'm sure you don't have the guts to take it somewhere where the problem will be solved. If you're going to post like this, stay the hell out of my forums.
You have the right to post, but if you do, you are expected to be polite and treat other members with respect. No rudeness towards others will be tolerated, and I will delete such posts on sight.
My apologies to Nattles. This has nothing to do with you, and I encourage other users to give you any advice they can. I sincerely hope nwatts will take any issues he has to the appropriate areas so any of his issues can be resolved, and the discussion can be continued without any further nastiness.
