Augs and Mods: can you remove a "personal attack" just like that - or does it have to be flagged by someone?

Asked by seazen (6123points) December 19th, 2010

If you can, and do: can one decide whether he “likes” or “doesn’t mind” the attack – and ask it be left alone?

Just curious – and I thought it would be of collective interest (intentional).

We don’t need a flag in order to remove an attack (or spam or whatever), but we might not see it if we don’t get one. So, if one of us just happens to be reading a thread, and BAM there’s an attack, it gets removed immediately. And no, we don’t allow them to stay, even if the subject of the attack doesn’t mind. We’d still mind, you know?

Tosses fruitcake at @seazen. Not a real attack since it was tossed.

Tosses felafel at @seazen. Again, not an attack, per se.

Lays out a daisy chain meatloaf ambush just in case ;)

Tosses a fit just to see where it lands.

Tosses salad with @seazening. (Not in the sexual way. Sorry, Zen.)

I am glad some of my exchanges with @dpworkin were left up, because they were funny as well as rude. dpworkin was my introduction to fluther along with jaytkay and ragingloli.

and another old argument—is “eat your shorts!” a personal attack? [notice I didn’t say “eat MY shorts!”]

Tosses and turns in bed (it’s the time difference).

Which is why a high skill in passive aggression gets one a long way (I’m joking of course).
