Your blaspheming is offensive.

I think Urban's just mad because you're standing up to him for a change. For some reason people around MB are afraid to do so.

it amazes me. 6 years ago we banned people for next to no reason whatsoever. there were no infractions, PMed warnings from mods, no mod thread where the moderators painfully deliberated whether or not a member deserved a ban, or a rigid set of criteria to determine what constituted a ban worthy offense. we just did it, and guess what? none of the members complained. people just went about their business and talked about music... about MUSIC. is that not a revolutionary concept.

I will tell you that the mods on third forum painstakingly deliberate over whether or both to ban someone. it's almost comical, yet any time anyone gets banned there's a guaranteed to be a protest.

we're not power hungry totalitarians. this is a music forum. whoever goes megalomaniacal over being a moderator on a music forum needs to get a little more fresh air, and I guarantee you none of us are like that, except me, maybe.

moral of the story: this isn't kindergarten where our job is to guide and mold you into the fine outstanding citizens in hopes that one day you'll fill us with a sense of pride over what a well-mannered homo sapien you are. No, our job is to moderate a music forum, which includes banning people who have clearly shown that they don't know how to play nicely with others, which, by the way, is something everyone should have learned in kindergarten.

I have no sympathy for Dirty, and I would gladly ban him again, if he acts the same way when and if he comes back.

I've been here longer than most (including Urban), so I've seen the good and the bad of MB. You'll have to forgive me if I refuse to concede to others opinions based on how bold and blue their username is (or used to be).

That's a funny thing to throw around considering you have such an issue with people being judged based on post count. Also, weren't you absent from the site for several years? Surely that knocks quite a bit off the old "I've been here longer than most claims, no?

Working and going to college full time while getting married and having a child tends to take quite a dent out of one's schedule. And experience cannot be supplemented with post count.

So the best way to put across how awesome you are and stick it to the man, and really make others see how right you are, how logical and fair, how unbiased and superior, is to spend as much time and effort making posts in this thread as I have, while accusing me and others of investing more emotionally into this forum than is healthy? Then you make a big deal about how long you've been here and how you've seen it all?

And yes, I can check that. As of your reply to this post, you will have made 27 posts in this thread, while this post makes me roll in at 27 posts in this thread. And a good few of those were about dicks and ponies, the rest were about boo boo and dirty deserving their respective bannings.

On top of that, you've popped in basically to do two things - Claim the mods are unfair, and to direct abuse at vanilla. You're hardly coming across as an impartial and sensible observer. You're more coming across as a massive douche with an axe to grind regards the administration, since it seems all you're capable of posting in relation to the mods is abuse or unfounded accusations of totalitarianism.

At least my posts in this thread have been either benign but irrelevant, or related to the matters at hand. Yours, rather less innocent.

And yes, I can check that. As of your reply to this post, you will have made 26 posts in this thread, while this post makes me roll in at 27 posts in this thread. And a good few of those were about dicks and ponies, the rest were about boo boo and dirty deserving their respective bannings.

So your justification for belittling me is based upon how many posts I made in this thread, while simultaneously pointing out the you have made more irrelevant posts than I have? Well played.

Okay then, so you agree that the number of years experience you're trying to throw around aren't actually an accurate representation of the amount of time you've spent here. Good to know.

I'll just leave this little non sequitur to stand on it's own.
