So you're saying that the reason I now won't insult Alcar is because he could easily ban me?
Well you're wrong - I've insulted him in the past, and I'll do it again if I feel the need for it. I'm not worried about being banned. The reason I won't insult him now is because I have nothing to insult him about - what I originally thought of him before was wrong.
Now, I think I should make it clear that Majic will probably NOT be in for an easy ride when Alcar discovers that he abused his moderator powers in a last ditch attempt to win an argument. I don't care if Majic gets banned or gets warned - he could die tomorrow, or he could win the lottery, either way I would feel nothing for him. But I would rather he at least realises (through one way or another) that his moment of childish stupidity didn't make him as big or clever as he obviously thought he was at the time. So make sure you let him and others know just how you feel about what he did.
This potentially brilliant forum doesn't need immature moderators who can't handle a situation without aggrivating it. It doesn't need immature moderators who consider it a good course of action to rape someone's post. What it needs (in my humble opinion) is people don't act on agendas, grudges, and emotions - but instead people who react on fairness and rules, and people who can empathise with both sides of an argument, and draw it to a conclusion peacefully.
I don't know about the rest of you, but I've had enough of these stupid postwars that end in conflict with the moderator because he doesn't know how to do his job properly. I've had enough of the blatant lack of empathy and respect for peoples views - I've had enough of the lack of thinking before posting. I've had enough of the poor identification of problems in the running of this forum.
This forum could potentially be GREAT if we just change the morally slack attitude among posters and moderators. The rules might as well not exist for the amount of effort people put into following them - and apparantly there are no rules for the moderators to follow either. What's to stop a moderator from messing things up? Nobody can point it out as there are no clear guidelines for what the moderators are and aren't allowed to do.
Why can't we change all this and realise our potential? It sickens me to see so many talented and intelligent people who's skills are being neglected when they could so easily be harnessed for the better of OWF.
