The Joys of Overzealous Moderators

So I see some of my critics are coming out of the woodwork on Shrapnal now that it's safe to have a go at me just because I can't respond to them directly (how brave of them). Can someone do me a favour and offer my critics this challenge...


The Calahan Challenge - Find any post where I've insulted someone that HASN'T been either a direct result of that person posting misinformation, talking nonsense, or trying to defend suspect playing behaviour (such as cheating/move-blocking/bailing etc). Or that person having a history of doing any and all of the aforementioned things .


Because as I pointed out before with the chicken and egg simile, I would be the nicest and most friendly forumite the world has ever seen* if people didn't post crap all the time, and played with some consideration towards their fellow players. And/Or they spent just a moment of their time to check what they are are about to say is in fact true, or state clearly it is a guess if they can't check. (latter is generally in regards to the game mechanics)


*Ok maybe not, but I can't ever recall having a go at somone who didn't deserve it. So if people stopped doing things to deserve it, then I'd automatically stop having a go at them as a result. See how that works.

This from the guy who has created a thread exclusively to make fun & take cheap shots at the posters of other forums. Pot, kettle, black. It's not fun being on the other side, right?

Take a step out of your shoes and think about how you can improve your attitude. It's not too late to change. It's called empathy.

And this is where you are, and have always been wrong. If you did this in RL you would get a black eye most often than not. As this is the internet, you only get a ban.

If someone makes a mistake, you are welcome to correct him/her, but not insult & belittle. You go too far.

Seriously, grow up. I'm sure there is an intelligent & kind guy behind all that posturing, you do unselfish stuff as admining games for newbies after all. But you are not a unique snowflake: the world doesn't evolve around your personal peeves & dislikes, you are the one who has to be flexible & adapt to living in society, and not everybody else adapt to your very particular ways.

Exactly. I'm starting to think that banning him was not a bad idea.
