When I say “dog”…. - Page 2 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

We have had this discussion many times on the other forum I moderate. The judicious use of the "emoticons" can sometimes help with one's understanding of what is written. Maybe it sounds "funny" to some - but they can really go a long way toward diffusing one's perception of what is written...

And that is truly the job of a moderator too, to step in and "defuse" things when a comment is taken wrong or the true impact of a comment is not understood by the author.

Ain't that the truth.

I thought a moderator's job was to CLOSE threads.(sarc)

When I read the word dog, in my head I was thinking about driving an automatic 5.0 Mustang and from a red light, going WOT and thinking to myself "Man this thing is a DOG".

In the old days I'd of said something witty here.
I'm pretty scared these days to do so. Seriously.
