We try not to be too much biased... that's why we have to meet quorum for certain tasks... but, sometimes, many of us tend to the same side.
It always makes me sad when a long time member starts behaving in such a manner that may get him/her banned... and we all try to keep them around, telling them what's going on... each mod/admin in his/her own way... some are more successful, others less...
People who start off as trolls will hardly come around... it's like their only goal in registering is to troll... the older members have been behaving properly for too long for us to assume that a new bad behavior can continue leading to a ban.
I wish I could kudos this.
@CD constructive suggestion meh.
It's hard not to let how you feel about a person affect how you treat them. It seems like human nature. I remember a post by you personally explainin exactly what flaming is. Saying it's repetitive insults and followin people to different threads to insult them. Things like that. So maybe when sending someone a friendly reminder about rules, stop and think, did this one single shitty rude comment count as flaming or am I tacking it on because I don't like this guy?
I don't know. Honestly, I love you guys and I generally think you do at wonderful job at what you do. When I pointed out what I thought was unfair, I honestly expected you to just think about it. Fix it if you can, or ignore it if it's only an issue in my head. I've been at this forum long enough and posting long enough, and thinking some of you were my friends long enough, that I never expected everyone would assume the worst of me. I thought you guys knew me well enough to know that I wasn't trying to attack any of you personally.
And I can be wrong about things and I'm only human too. So if you think I'm just completely flat out wrong, you can still tell me in a less over the top and hurtful way.
