I don't care for people who's default communication style is "shut up you clueless fool". It melts down forums. I think there are basic standards of civility and self-regulation that people should adhere to. And if people can't adhere to them... well they should be given chances, but if they won't take those, they should be chased out.
There have to be consequences at some point for continued flouting of public standards of civility, or you simply won't get civility.
Hear hear. It seems a lot of people dgaf about civility. And then, ironically, they go round talking about the decline of civilization. Funny, that.
Telling someone to
shut up in such a way violates the most fundamental values of this place. It is anti-community and anti-thought. I find it aggravating that so many people seem to not even mind. I've spent
years trying to remove the toxic people that say such things from my life.
It has been made quite clear that the mods are indeed power tripping, not acting in userbase interest.
Or better yet, mod team should retract my ridiculous and absurd ban. Then stop being ridiculous oversensitive little wimps about fucking etiquette. This kind of moderation is clearly not requested by the userbase. Thus analytically follows that it constitutes power-tripping.
Talk about power tripping... Ridiculous and absurd is dismissing people's negative reactions to your behaviour,
oversensitive little wimps that they might be. Don't you realize how self-righteous you sound? That somehow you can be held to a different standard because you think you're so right, and that people that are wrong do not deserve respect and that basic civility can be thrown out the window if it so pleases you?
And presumably
you are acting in the userbase's interest? Please. Some people clearly think that anything goes is not good for the forum. Mutual respect was what allowed this forum to flourish long before you were here.
Power tripping? We've been trying
so hard for
so long *not* to permaban you! We've given you far more chances than was fair, spent so much time trying to negotiate, contrary to what some here seem to think. If there's any fool here it is me for ever thinking you could change.
No need to waste any more words. You were warned, you chose to continue digging your grave, now you must go and lie in it. And go out not with a bang but with a whimper.
Ergo ; trollish, ugly, dick.
I thought we're allowed to shit talk about none members?
I know there's history of animosity between you, but that's enough. We know what you think about him, no need to repeat. You know where that road ends.
there's nobody on the mod team I dislike much the opposite in fact
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer eh?

If only you'd been Bronto's sensei this would have never happened. It's all your fault, as usual. Baka.
