Who TF referred you?
^ This.
I don't think you understand military time. 0500 is an exact point in time (0500 = 5am) so you would say "meet me at 0500". If you were trying to denote an amount of time, you would specify what type of time length you're specifying (i.e., 0500 seconds, minutes, hours). Although, even then, the first zero is unnecessary. Your statement should/could have been "Meet me at the spot in 5 mikes." (5 minutes)
Yep, I've never felt that any person automatically deserves respect. It can definitely be earned. Given certain situations where I have to "respect" their position or rank, I'll do the minimum I have to to avoid punishment, but I still do not respect them. I'll just include what I need to not be punished.
Also this.
But they aren't negging. Do what you want on here as long as you don't neg. Negging is the worst a human being can ever do.
KKK has persisted for years because they don't neg.-

I feel as though everything you just mentioned is applicable to my current career field (IT, more specifically network engineering).
I obviously have a lot of time off and downtime or I wouldn't be spending my time cruising forums.
I get paid, what I would consider, better than the average teacher.
People in tier 1-2 IT positions usually end up there for years though they quit caring and doing their job.
IT professionals seem to whine more than any other group of people I come in contact with.
Quasi question dodging ( I assume this is an issue that has this group of regulars somewhat split)
But I will say that from my perspective, for ever one very good teacher I had through high school and college I had two poor ones.

The internet is serious business.
I've always felt that anyone who gets upset about not being liked in a thread like this should just cut their losses and post elsewhere since there are thousands of other off-topic threads where they might fit in.
That being said, there are clear rules on this site so it's best to always keep them in mind before taking the bait and if someone is trolling or being disruptive, put them on ignore and let one of the regular mods take care of it. If you let it escalate to the point where they start reporting posts, mods who don't post here and have their hands full with the Misc. will just respond to those reports and not be aware of the context, etc.
Above all, avoid venting about a mod's decision. If you wake up one day and feel like giving a mod sh*t, it's best to send it this way. I don't like seeing good people banned for months at a time for a momentary lapse in judgement.

I honestly do.
I pick and choose when I do, but i fully support the action. IMO, if they get their panties in a bunch over that, then they won't be able to handle all of the personalities in here. Also, it weeds out the people who join simply due to the higher rep power presence in hopes of improving their own.
Side note: There is really too much worry about rep on here. There was a real incident with a member of the shack sold his 147k rep power account to a member of the misc for $147 actual dollars ($1 per 1k). That person apparently ran around negging people now that he finally had "power" and got banned in a few days. It is retarded. So if they're coming in here jsut to get rep, they'll leave upon receiving the negs.
But if they that so seriously, they will probably take everything else too seriously and constantly be pissing and moaning. /mythoughts-

Exactly. The world's a big place. You don't have to fit in everywhere, nor be butthurt when you don't.
That being said, there are clear rules on this site so it's best to always keep them in mind before taking the bait and if someone is trolling or being disruptive, put them on ignore and let one of the regular mods take care of it. If you let it escalate to the point where they start reporting posts, mods who don't post here and have their hands full with the Misc. will just respond to those reports and not be aware of the context, etc.
Above all, avoid venting about a mod's decision. If you wake up one day and feel like giving a mod sh*t, it's best to send it this way. I don't like seeing good people banned for months at a time for a momentary lapse in judgement.
To be clear: I'm not complaining here, nor implying any specific moderator isn't doing a good job. Just discussing the point.☠ By reading this post, you have agreed to my negative reputation terms of service.

I neg people. That's why I usually have red in my User CP. If I disagree or dislike, I'll just neg, IDGAF who it is. I recently negged -Lucify and im2wifely, and "recently" (not long before he disappeared) I negged SYTD. The other people I've recently negged...meh...not important enough to remember who they were
Don't take the option off the table.

I guess I'm not always online when problems occur. Either way if you treat those guys with respect, as you would a boss at work or a cop, there shouldn't be any problems.
I've been on both sides of the fence so I can understand the frustration and questioning what is fair, etc.
What I can tell you is if you were a moderator for a while, especially looking after the Misc., you'd probably develop a much shorter fuse and ultimately tolerate less BS. If you've got a 9-5 job, family, you train a few nights a week, you're not going to waste all your time moderating carefully dissecting every single post that gets reported, given you're working for free. You'd try to quickly identify if a rule was broken, infract/ban/delete/close, and move on to the next one.
At the end of the day much like officials in sport, it's a thankless job.
