<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>"Another troll with no comment history" is an infractable comment. Full stop, it's neither feedback nor constructive. I thought there could have been a teachable moment there instead of just deleting a post and this thread.

No opinion was dismissed other than there was nothing of value being returned to Detroit. Why is there an immediacy to dismiss Petry as a neutral or positive asset when Perron is equally as risky of an asset given his age and potential conditioning? I have no qualms with the trade not working for Detroit, I don't have a horse in either team's camp, the *how* in which we go about dismissing this trade and addressing the team needs is my problem, and it will continue to be my problem until the entirety of this community gets on board with not immediately jumping to the option of being the worst versions of themselves for internet points.

None of this is gaslighting or me taking advantage of being a moderator. It is the complete opposite: there are rules to be enforced here. I can either start appropriately infracting and banning users that insist on replying in a manner like what happened above, or I can insert myself into these sorts of replies and point out why they're wrong and point users in the proper direction. One of these is a more human approach, the other perpetuates the apparent disdain for the forum moderators you've picked up somewhere along your journey. I know which is my preference.</div></div>

I have no disdain about the mods. It's not an easy job and I respect that. But while you're talking down to me, please remember that none of us are perfect. We all make mistakes. I'm as guilty as anyone here.

But we're all human. We all post things we shouldn't from time to time. Some more than others. It's not just on this website. We're all guilty of talking to people in a way we wouldn't talk to the person's face.

I'd rather just talk out any disagreement over a beer. Or a few beers. 🙂

But I find so many posters on here are defensive. It's almost like they expect to be attacked. And I'm guessing you see this too and you want to correct it. I applaud you for that.

But is attacking a poster because they attacked someone else really the proper way to correct things? I can see you're frustrated. I get it. I just hope there's a happy medium.

I frequent a few hockey sites and I see a pattern of mods attacking posters. I didn't mean to single you out. So I'm sorry if I came off that way. Maybe your post triggered me like the Red Wings fan's post may have triggered you.

I think we both want the same thing here but just disagree on how to achieve it. Just my 2 cents. 🙂

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>BeterChiarelli</b></div><div>You have no guarantee that Perron has any legs going into this season. Father Time remains undefeated. Most of the rhetoric surrounding Maatta's career has been not too dissimilar from "cap dump".

Likewise, Petry has a history of production. How many times do we as fans need to be stunned into oblivion when one year a player becomes the most negative asset in the league, then resumes quality play the next year? We watched this same song and dance with Karlsson last year. Burns the year before that. Harris is not a negative asset by any means (you even correctly identify him as depth).

It's not egregious, you just don't like it. You've slanted the language of your replies to make this look like the same kind of garbage that you'd see in a Larkin-for-Savard proposal and it's ridiculous. To answer your previous statement about engagement, is your current method aiming to be helpful or hurtful? And how much of that engagement do you get when you go out of your way to be less than helpful?

You've done one thing rather well in response though: you identified that the amount of money going back to Detroit is not amicable. Work off of that: either find a way that Montreal retains or Detroit can send someone like Chiarot back. If they don't engage, then that's on them, but in doing so you take all of the right steps without coming off as crass or uninviting. Gatekeeping these forums because a user doesn't interact with others is silly.</div></div>

You're just assuming Perron's legs "fall off." You're being hypocritical here. Perron showed no evidence of that last season. Petry still has some game left. But he doesn't fit Detroit's needs. Dvorak doesn't fit either.

Perron not only provides scoring for Detroit. But he's also become a valued leader for the Red Wings. Now he may end up being traded at the trade deadline if Detroit is out of the playoff race. This will be determined.

But I think the bigger issue here is that you're dismissing a Red Wings fan for giving an informed opinion about the team he follows. Do you not believe he might have a better understanding of his teams needs?

He may have been a bit harsh. But your response was uncalled for in my opinion. Now there's non Red Wings fans piling on because of your response. You're gaslighting. Also being a mod shouldn't afford you special privileges to bully people on here.

I know you'll likely take the coward's way out and ban me but your response really struck a chord with me. Just another example of so called power going to someone's head. 😕
