Re: Re: Re: Setting priorities
To get this straight: You were granted the position of a moderator (note the "moderate" root of that word) even on the grounds that you were someone who frequently flames (by your own admission)? What does this say about the judgement of the site admins?
In other words, you could have been far more offensive but instead toned down your flaming to something slightly less offensive. Sorry, that doesn't work. Moderators should not flame or offend people at all, it's part of the job. If you want to flame people, resign as a moderator and do so: You <b>cannot</b> do both at once.
As soon as you get the power to ban posters, lock threads, and basically become "immortal", you are not a regular poster. That's painfully obvious to most people out there. If anyone here recalls back to SidGames, they'll notice that I stayed out of any type of heated discussions entirely in the OT forum so I could moderate fairly (and yes, I tried to control Kunal, don't confuse me with him).
So now you're backtracking. You originally claimed you didn't mean anything insulting by that, and now you're saying you did intend to be insulting but only because "he started it".![thumbs-up](https://apolyton.net/core/images/smilies/thumbs-up.gif)
I think you should rethink your position was a moderator: Do you want to moderate the forum, or do you want to flame and be a "regular poster"? Pick one, you can't have both.

When I took the moderator job, I'd been an active poster here for over 18 months. I'd also been a more than occasional flamer here.

If Glonk thinks he's been flamed by me since I took the mod job, he's wrong. He hasn't seen anything like I used to dish out, and there are a lot of people here who can attest to what I used to dish out. I was being gentle with Glonk.
Nothing in my becoming a moderator said I had to stop being a regular poster...
and if they dish crap to me, they'll get some back, just not the napalm I used to serve back.
