oh, and DB:

I didn't want you to ONLY post to bait DG; I wanted you to do some posts expressly to bait DG.

Subtle difference, right? No, not really all that subtle.

nevermind

Subtle like a brick.

Yeah, plenty of people have asked me to come back and post.

I want to come back, but I won't unless you have set rules and a set manner in dealing with problems.

You asked me how moderating the aof was - the answer is it was simple. We had one basic rule, no spamming - you spammed, you got banned (it didn't matter if it was funny, clever, or justifiable).

Everything else was done by majority rule. We didn't want a moderator deciding board policy - we felt the board belonged to all of us equally.

Alien concept for you to comprehend, but our community was more important than any individual regardless of the moderators feelings or blood/alcohol level.

You say you are not the moderator of your forum, yet you've banned Kharn, eom and I because "banning just gypsy wasn't fair" and you've banned gypsy because the board majority wished it so, you've unbanned gypsy on a whim, you've banned zem for spamming while choosing not to ban the others who equally spammed the forum...

If it quacks like a duck, shits like a duck, and fucks like a duck - it's a moderator, and a piss poor one at that.

Thanks for posting, stop by anytime, although I may ban you tommorrow.......

I have to admit your stance and action are more reasonable that I originally assumed (apologies for that)

But perhaps sitting over here isn't the best method the attain your goal. Though I don't know what is...

No problem Kharn, I do realize how I come off sometimes and people have a difficult time reading which way I'm going sometimes (especially Bitch) which is part of my charm, huh?

Actually, I'm kinda having fun over here and at fuxxored.

I do miss my blog and stuff though, maybe I should start posting it here?
