Yeah, I'm not particularly fond of Robert using bold and snark (especially both at the same time) in his reports. It comes off as rude to me.
Even if he didn't intend to be "giddy", the way he words his reports make it look like it. Tone is tricky online and unless you're absolutely crystal clear with your wording, misunderstandings will happen and sometimes it'll make you look jerkish even if you didn't intend to be jerkish.
ETA: I do recall calling off Robert once or twice over his bolded snark but I can't recall the report/post(s) I did this.
Edited by Cutegirl920fire CG for short^^ They do still have a snarky tone to them, which to be clear isn't bad when used in the right context. But as the site's culture has moved away from its Caustic Critic and Joss Whedon influences, wording those kinds of reports in that flippant style feels very out of place, not to mention being very off-putting to other users.
Temporarily privated the ATT to prevent more commentary. Since this has been a consistent issue and things haven't changed much since Robert TYL's last suspension, we have decided to issue another query suspension.

Unlike a bunch of my other reports, this actually has nothing to do with CM/MB related matters, hence why it's public, but it's a report all the same.
I have concerns about Robert TYL's behavior on ATT. Put bluntly, he seems really giddy to get people in trouble for things, whether or not said things even happened in the first place, and they usually carry a rather aggressively sarcastic tone along the way.
Basically, he seems really keen to report people without actually taking the steps to remedy the issue first or even correctly identify that an issue exists to begin with, and the fact that this stuff is still happening after he's been reported and talked to multiple times raises a red flag for me. Am I crazy there?
