I don't give a flying fuck whether you thinl I am being melodramatic or not. The point I am taking issue with is this part:
No! Wrong, sir!
I make no secret that I edited my post and retracted the offending phrase. What I had initially said was stupid and wrong, and I immediately retracted it. For you to turn that honest mistake into accusations that I altered my words after you called me on them is incredibly dishonest of you.
But let's recap here. The answer to my question "Where did I say that Staff are exempt from the rules?" is "In a section of a post that was redacted immediately, or at most a few minutes, after submission and therefore no longer existed by the time you posted your reply."
If you want melodrama, and if you insist on pushing this as some great abuse of my position, try this on for size:
I, Stimbo, of my own free will and to save the Staff from any or further embarrassment, do here and now tender my resignation from the position of Moderator that was entrusted to me.
Happy now? You've got my head on a pike, just like you wanted.
I bid you good day, sir.

I simply pointed out that you'd edited the post since I made that comment. Which you then confirmed as true.
No! Wrong, sir!

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
