Can't you just ban him again and call it a day? It's not like he will be missed.

Everyone, including you is entitled to their opinion as to what constitutes an appropriate level of reaction, yours has been expressed.

Thanks for outing the original complainant, it might have surprised some, but not all!

You've put your time in here; you've earned a little laziness.

Billyboy . . . what do you think would make you happy here on the forum? What exactly has the moderation staff, past or present, done to you that has scarred/wounded you so deeply? It's obvious that you have a score to settle, but where it is from?

Where's that fabled tolerance for others with whom at odds with, you claim to extole? Lincoln had a very astute observation that would apply here:

"Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power"

Billybob your post #27 is not totally accurate.

I used the sjh incident as a learning experience which should result in being a better moderator.

Another veiled shot at the mods. Why not show a little fortitude and name names?

You've been banned once for getting too critical with us yet you continue to do so.

I've made this suggestion once before and I'll say it again. Find a better use of your time and intellect. We are volunteers doing this for free with good intentions trying to keep a fun OD atmosphere while keeping with the wishes of the ownership to the best of our ability. So far no moderator has ever met your high standards, but you get what you pay for. We are not perfect individuals and never will be. Sometimes we do things inconsistently, but C'est la vie.

I'm soooo glad I'm no longer the focus of his delusions!

Oh, and who is my favorite moderator? Name a name.
I own the moderators. I pay them well so that they will do exactly as I say.

I do not recall asking for your opinion nor do I recall giving any indication what so ever that I actually give a rats butt what you think. Do me a favor and just ignore me. You make my skin crawl.

What are you talking about, clearly I'm responding to david's expressed intent to ban me for no reason if he could. You freaking out Paul?

He contributes nothing as far as I can see. He constantly harasses the mods to the point where it could be considered an obsession. He insults people on a regular basis. I hardly think it shows bias but rather good judgement.

If he cannot play by the rules and is so bloody miserable here do him and the rest of us a favor and just get rid of him.
