If I was making serious sexual advances in a post then yeah, of course it should be edited. But as it was obviously intended as a joke, and quite a mild one at that, of course it shouldn't have. As I say, it is quite obviously incorrect action.

You may find it uncomfortable or whatever because it deals with you (although you must have incredibly thin skin if that is even true), but that's just your own bias. Making a light-hearted joke is not against the rules, you chose to read it as such because you didn't like it. Simple. I wasn't overstepping any OFFICIAL mark.

Heck, there are tonnes of stuff I find personally offensive. Somebody told me that they hope or I should burn in Hell. Ambi read that comment. I wept for hours. In my eyes, if you want to play this game, that is a far more 'harmful' comment than my non-one.

Now, the only reason I actually brought this thing up at all was to make my previous post in this thread non-spammy, I'm not that bothered about it. It was, at the end of the day, only a little not-serious comment. However, I do loathe censorship and abuses of power, but over something so inconsequential it isn't particularly important, I s'ppose.

The way you two are speaking makes it sound as if I'd walked up to her and ran my hand up her dress. But, yes, anyway: indefensible.

Ridiculous. A ‘personal’ joke can only be told when the other person is on a similar emotional-relationship plain? Yeah. I personally wouldn’t make such comments in that manner to someone I liked, what would be the point?

You seem to be trying in some way to justify the editing with more than a bit of difficulty there. It’s all rather ambiguous and uncertain. What you’re talking about, again, is the fact you don’t like it, which is fine. But a joke, whatever kind, is still a joke. I do not believe I have broken any rules, unless it’s some silly-ass one I haven’t conceived of yet.
Ambi felt harassed by your post, and because she had mod powers, she skipped the middle man and edited your post herself. Any member in the same predicament would receive the same treatment. That's all. If any member is feeling harassed by someone, then the mod team is going to put a stop to it. End of story. Quit bitching.

You can say all you want, but that doesn't change the fact that Ambi perceived what you said as harassment, and if I recall, harassing another member is very much against the rules.
