Many people have acted in anger in this thread and contributed to the resulting derailing. But mods and members have really only held one person accountable for all that happened as far as I can tell and that is Sopsych. Aren't or shouldn't we all have an obligation to not break rules and derail threads?

He has spent no fewer than thirty THOUSAND characters, repeating to us all that he is the one true saviour of our forum world, and is being hamstrung by those diabolical, hideous moderators that would DARE allow anyone to respond to him negatively in any way.
I am past the point of thinking he should be given a leash whatsoever, let alone one the length you seem to want to give him. He is NOT, and WILL not help. His entire diatribe in these two threads has been SOLELY BASED around his monumental, astonishingly precise and focused, and COMPLETE inability to temper his own arrogance with even the slightest bit of humility.
When you're putting out gems like this:

"Follow that advice, and I'm likely to resume starting (good) threads, the lack of which is helping to suck life out of the forum."
"The sensible plan would be to improve the atmosphere first and then increase traffic with interesting threads by people like me. "
"I wasn't trying to sound like Hal 2001. That movie probably is the worst alleged "masterpiece" I've ever seen. I am right about that too."
"It would be better and smarter to just agree with me. If enough people did that, the site could undergo positive change."
"The idea that people can fix this site by just posting more Journal entries or starting more threads is ridiculous. Unless Music Banter wishes to become the Live Journal of music musings, which is not my vision of the site and probably wouldn't succeed. "
"I said before that banning me would not help the site at all, and any impact would be negative through loss of music posts and alienation of people who agree with me."
"Of course people could fight their own tendency, but I see complete unwillingness by haters to follow any of my advice. Since I am a thinker, it pops into my head right now that the revived Journal in itself will just divert more attention from regulars to each other."

Is this sort of prattle not the kind of **** that rings alarm bells for you Tore? Does this GENUINELY not give you any pause whatsoever when you support this rampant egomaniac?
