Jeez, Louise, Oakminster, are you trying to start a pissing contest with the mods? What are you hoping to achieve? Demonstrate how to be petty and obnoxious?

I get that you don’t like what happened in the avatar thread, you don’t like the way Czarcasm chose to moderate the issue of whether the poll thread should include rehashing and debating the sundry details and various opinions on the topic despite the stated intent of the OP, I get that you don’t like the moderation decisions made in that thread or the subsequent evaluation by the rest of the staff to let that moderation stand. I get that you’re pissed off that soulfrost couldn’t see reason and committed suicide by mod, and that the staff let him.

If you really want to help the board, stop fanning the flames. The results of that thread are a complex combination of circumstances that have more than one perspective. Throwing a tantrum is not going to help you make your case.

Fenris, I see nothing wrong with those examples, they don’t match what Oakminster was doing at all.
