I find the above very hypocritical. But you are right, I should enforce my own rules, which is why I support Kyu's decision to issue you with a warning over the aforementioned post.

Oh, here we go. Same old story, and does anyone remember me predicting this? And why? Because I've been doing this for years and years and years. I write well, and I get lots of attention to my posts, and this makes the moderators and the owners of blogs and forums feel threatened. So they issue warnings first--usually at the same time they themselves are breaking the rules they say I am breaking, and then their scrawny finger hovers over the "ban" button until I finally say something that pushes them over the edge, or I post a post that gets a hundred responses in a day, and they just know that all their problems would be solved if they got rid of me. After all, no one starts a forum or a blog with the intent of someone else stealing the show. No one starts a forum just to manage it. Isn't that right, Adrian? They start a blog that allows responses or a forum with the hopes of getting a community going that becomes dependent on the interaction, and the more dependent the members become, the more power the owner with the "ban" button has. The next thing you know, people are saying things like: "You're all a bunch of idiots, except maybe Adrian." And, well, that's just the next best thing to heaven. In fact, maybe that is an atheist heaven.

You know what I get out of it. The absolute knowledge that you digested every single word in that big-ass rambling paragraph.
