LOL, if you choose to be an admin (and it is a choice) then you must expect some crap to be flung in your direction. Comes with the job - especially on the internet. Sorry but the admins and many mods are paid to watch the forums (no matter how they are compensated - they are compensated somehow), so it's their job - not something they don't have to do if they don't feel like it or because its a holiday. No one has a problem with this place having rules because it isn't the "rules" that are the issues, it's the inconsistencies in applying them and the fines cited for rules that don't exist. Or rules applied only because they are having a problem and need to make a rule to deal with it. If X2000 still had his store here while he was banned - the site would still be making a profit while he had no rights to enter -all because he pointed out past behavior of a certain mod??? To garner respect that you m,ust exhibit the same behaviour that you wish to see in your direction. That means that if they choose to cite previous contests as an excuse for unprofessional behaviour then they must expect and recognize that their own mistakes can and will be made an issue as well. As for "emotional outbursts" lol, they would far prefer that an argument was emotional - if it's logical then they will ignore it anyhow. Emotional outbursts make the poster look like a fantic and they would far prefer that then having to address a real question put across logically. The thread by Mosca below (that you and LC tried so hard to take off track) was created from a non-emotional stance. The points he made in the beginning were well put and franky quite on target. But then you got personal & emotional ("Do you have a nagging wife Mosca? With no offense meant at all I only ask this because sometimes those that do usually have a lot of issues, like you seem to." - let's face it you wouldn't have posted that if you hadn't meant offense) and took it off the track it was on. Admins never responded or answered either, and now when they do it willbe to address the bickering and not the original topic.
