I mean they can do what they want. The community can judge them based on their actions, as well.
When this stuff went up for a vote, I voted no.
However, your "ban me" bullshit fit you threw when I was modded has effectivelly turned me against you, regardless the circumstances. I didnt deserve that, it was completely unwarranted, and set the stage for everything else that followed. You didnt even give me a day before you started attacking me, when Ive been extremely nice to you repeatedly in the past, and defended you at times.
Then when you came back, you immediately began intentionally antagonizing the mod crew. So I hate to break it to you, but you deserved to be shawed.
The most Ive done is post and respond to people. This last word itis stuff is just pure unjustified troll. I would think prolific posters, who can generally take a joke, and admit when theyre wrong, who seek to liven debate and bring facts and such to the table to heighten the debate as well, would be something a forum woukd want. I tend to view myself as a content generator. If people are bagging on me, or taking part in me bagging on someone like Dumar in a legitimate debate, thats more eyes on the forum, and more eyes potentially on the ads Draegan uses to support this forum.
Nothing Ive said or done warrants this. I dont intentionally antagonize the mods, and dont intentionally antagonize other posters, outside of a debate context where were having a real discussion.
It is all functionally irrelevant, though. Its just an internet forum, and the mods can do as they want. If it rises to a level to justify it, theyll just have to deal with all their most prolific posters moving on, which may be Draegans goal, since he hasnt been able to turn this community into the money maker he hoped for when he started it.
