While I generally agree with you, I think we have to look at it from the moderators’ perspective, too. What are they supposed to do? Deal with the same persons every few weeks until hopefully some of them grow? Moderating a community is already a lot of (often thankless) work. I don’t think adding this would help finding and keeping good moderators.

Ultimately it’s not only about what is the most fair but about what tools are needed to keep a community running.

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with being a bit angry or jealous sometimes.

You shouldn’t throw your rage at the people around you or let your actions be driven by anger alone. But there are a lot of things one can very justly be angry about. I would even argue that some things one should feel angry about. Like when someone is mistreated.

Denying yourself negative emotions is not entirely healthy in my opinion, it’s more about the way you act on them (or don’t act on them).

Ein bedauerlicher Einzelfall in diesem Polizeirevier.

I’ve recently learned about bourdaloues. I wonder how many of them had a second life as a gravy boat.

Danke für diesen Einblick in deine Lebensrealität. Morgen gibt’s wieder Körnermischung, komm ruhig mit deinen Kumpels vorbei, ich meinte das nicht böse.

Are you two telling me getting into political arguments on internet forums is not gonna make me the ruler of the world??? I thought I was really getting somewhere here.

I’m not sure the Catholic Church would agree that Martin Luther changed everyone’s opinion.

Spatzen sind sowieso die Aggros unter den Singvögeln. Hab vor ein paar Wochen wieder mit Füttern angefangen. Die Meisen und Finken nehmen sich immer höflich ein Korn und fliegen dann auf einen Ast, um es zu snacken. Die Spatzen bleiben an der Futterstelle, bis sie von einem anderen Spatzen weggeschubst werden. Manchmal fliegen auch zwei scheinbar grundlos aufeinander zu und hauen sich mit ihren Krallen. Bisschen wie unsere letzte Firmen-Weihnachtsfeier mit Buffet.

Yeah, I do. I’m really lazy and need some pressure to get going. It also gives me this nice kind of thrill and clarity. I also really enjoyed doing exams and tests in school and at uni.

That being said, I don’t think I could deal with a constant pressure. Every now and then is nice to get this thrill and to get validation when doing well. But under constant pressure I would burn out quicker than a barn doused in gasoline.

Wenn man mal eine Weile in Tübingen oder der Region gewohnt hat, ist “Hat Boris Palmer wirklich xy gesagt?” keine Frage mehr, die man sich jemals stellt.
