Today, before any personal remarks were seen publicly in the NFC game thread, there were already incredibly insulting, slanderous, personal attack, and cruel mental health remarks in both posts (quickly deleted) and in PMs.
Regardless of how long you've been a part of CF, you will never know what it's like to be a moderator on here. The moderators have given literally 10's of thousands of unpaid hours each over the past 17 years on here and repeatedly get belittled, insulted, talked down to, and personally insulted - usually via PM but even in public.
You might visit this site every day but have no reason to be sensitive to things posted. Moderators don't have that luxury, it's become a part of their lives, personas, or personalities. So while you might think you're a single person poking a jab, remember that there are dozens if not hundreds a week doing the same thing to those that are doing everything they can for you to have a place to visit. And likely many more doing far worse via PM.
So as you move on to other threads and posts or go to other sites, remember that you aren't singled out until or unless you give us a reason. Your actions have far greater impact on others than you might expect just because it's "the internet".
If you want the forums to continue to be lively and enjoyable, I would suggest thinking more about your jokes about moderators and/or moderation.
