JohnnyCash, I think you overacted by such a response and by closing the original thread . You've clearly overstepped your moderator rights on this one.
I was merely commenting on the fact that your response came across as accusatory by stating "This is a clear-cut misrepresentation to US govt. to gain immigration benefit." without having all the facts at hand. If that wasn't your intention then perhaps you should have taken a moment to cool down and clarify your response instead of letting your emotions run wild and react the way you did.
Bob,
First of all, you are the one who responded pro-actively to ME and referred to one of my postings on that thread even though I did not make any posting/statement initially to you nor to the OP in that thread.
Secondly, you are the one who showed an offensive and provocative tone by making that posting wherein you judged my understanding on OP's situation. You said that I shouldn't have jumped on conclusions when I don't know the facts. How do you know that I don't know the fact about OP's situation so you to have made that posting and offensive tone? And who are you to tell me that I don't know the fact on OP's situation when you don't even know if I know the facts or not? You didn't even read there that I didn't make my that posting to OP nor to you. And I certainly didn't say anywhere in there that OP filed his citizenship application under 3 years rule. I was merely addressing a statement made by another poster on that thread.
So when you made an offensive and provocative posting and mis-judged my understanding of fact, I had the right to tell you as to what was right and how I felt. It had nothing to do with over-reacting. If you offend someone or say something which is not true then other party has the right to clear the record as s/he wishes. Thus, his answer cannot be constured as "over-reacting" just because you don't like what he said. I mean, it seems okay to you if you offend and provoke others but when other people say something to clear the record then you will tell them that they are "over-reacting", right?
Further, I don't need to know from you or anyone else as to whether I overstepped my rights as a moderator because I know well what are my jobs/rights as a moderator and how to carry out my job rightfully. Only the owner and administrator of this site have the right to review my actions to make a determination if I am wrong or not.
I saw you being involved in a provocation of arguments in that specific thread by making pro-active, offensive and inflammable statements; and I also knew based upon your personality and modus-operandi on this board that you will come back to further argue nonsense matters on those statements which would serve no purpose on this board at all; instead it will only prolong the arguments. Thus, I had to close down that thread.
Like I said that I knew you will come back to prolong the argument which made me to close down that thread, and I was so right because you did come back to prolong the nonsense arguments anyway over here by creating another thread. There was no need to open another thread for continuing arguments on matter which was put on rest on another thread and prolongation of those arugments serve no purpose to the sanity of this board. Thus, I suggest you not to open another thread to talk something personal matters or to take things out of your chest. This board is to help people and not to vent personal vendetta. If I would see you doing that again, I'll be forced to ban you.
If you have any problems/questions with my moderation actions, you are free to contact owner or administrator of this site who will review the whole situation and will act accordingly. You may take other members with you as well who were previously found wrong in their acts on this board. I know they might be gang-banging with you against me to get even with me but it doesn't bother me because owner/administrator reviews each person's acts carefully to know who is right and who is wrong on a given complaint, like they did with those who might be gang-banging with you.
