Actually, while **Czarcasm** has apparently apologized for two of the calls he made in that thread, i don’t even think anyone has mentioned (what i think was) the worst moderating post he made in that thread.

To wit:

I think this is a bullshit instruction.

Firstly, **chiroptera** broke no rules. There was no personal insult; nothing that would warrant sending that post to the Pit.

Second, i think that **jamiemcgarry** ’s history of posting threads about handicapped parking space issues is completely relevant to that thread.

Like it or not, some people post a lot on single issues, and their obsessions often affect the way that other people perceive their posts. In his time here, **jamiemcgarry** has posted enough about disabled parking that it is one of the things that he’s known for. Also, in those threads, he has drawn quite a bit of attention for (what many perceive as) his unreasonable attitude to some aspects of disabled persons’ issues.

I think all of that is relevant information in a thread, started by **jamiemcgarry** , about a dispute over a disabled parking space.
