I can only rate a thread when I post an advanced reply, which I pretty much never do. Shame it doesn't work at the top of the thread, but whether that's an isolated incident or not I dunno.

I'm not trying to step on anyone's shoes here or tell the mods how to do their job, but I do have a question. Why is it ok for posters to insult certain members (hip hop bunny hop) without it being a big deal, but I feel if those same words were used agaisnt a mod things wouldn't be so pretty. I know he has his controversial viewpoints that get under people's skins, but I don't see him resorting to namecalling in defending his positions, and his arguments aren't ever baseless.

Also, I'm certainly not innocent when it comes to breaking the rules every now and again. But it seems like hhbp gets a lot more **** than he deserves and should be excused... and it's acceptable because, well, it's hhbp. Just my opinion.

Also he probably doesn't give two ****s about this

From what I've seen HHBH has pretty thick skin as far as it goes. I don't know to what extent it actually bothers him, but I notice he does take a lot more flak than your average user.

From my own perspective, I'd say that a majority of blatant insults go unpunished simply because we can't realistically come across all of them. If you have any rule-breaking behavior to report, please do so, and we will determine if it breaks any rules.

It's not that I'm worried he's crying himself to sleep at night or anything, but the petty comments about his character do derail from just about every thread he is in. They hold back any sort of actual conversation.

That's fair, I probably should've done that before bitching about it openly.

I'm not out to get anybody in trouble either though.

I think if people are name calling people on the internet, they shouldn't be using the internet.

Alright, I'll let the goats out next chance I get.
