To theists

[Excited Penguin]

I do get to charge you. It is within my rights to do so. I can get why you might have misunderstood me though. Maybe you should consult the dictionary.

You were not merely disagreeing with him, nor were you doing it as one member to another. So far, I have never witnessed this kind of outrageous behaviour towards members of the forum outside of mods doing it 'off-duty'. You are the only ones that seem to think it ok to order people around and bully them into leaving the forum, even when no rule is being actually broken. I have received the same treatment in the past and can readily attest to this. You can't have it both ways. Either you're talking in the capacity of a ranking officer of the forum or you do it as 'one member to another', but you can't do both at the same time and expect me to accept your falling back on the latter as an excuse whenever I accuse you of being unfair or oppressive.

There's nothing oppressive about the staff calling people out on their bullshit publicly.  There's nothing oppressive about staff disagreeing with members publicly.  There's nothing oppressive about staff saying, "If you don't like the way things are run, there's the door."

You might want to check that, by his own admission, Esquilax wasn't doing any of that in his capacity as a moderator. I still don't think it would be right to do such things, not even as a moderator, and least of all publicly and in such a hateful manner, but I am pointing out to you that your premise is wrong, at least concerning what happened here.
