Peanut Gallery Commentary on the Staff Log of Bannings and such like.

[Napoléon]

OK, I just read through that thread. Looks like some mods (particularly you) got butt-hurt by some things he said, but he maintained his cool throughout.

Then you're reading it through some kind of rose tinted glasses.

The first two responses I made to frodo in that thread were directly on topic to what the thread was about. No problems.

I didn't post for another 6/7 pages until I re-read and noticed he had since directly accused the staff of trolling. The thread had since been pretty much derailed. Myself and other staff asked him to back that up. That's not unreasonable considering the levity of his accusations. I tried to give him a friendly nudge to stop being a dick. Frodo's a big boy, a few words like "take the stick out your arse" wouldn't piss him off, I know him well enough to know he would take it as banter. When he wouldn't back up his claims though, and still made several sly comments since, I'll admit, I did get quite pissed with the guy. But maintaining your cool doesn't get you any brownie points. People are allowed to express anger on here when they're being accused of something there is no evidence for. When he continues to accuse staff of trolling without backing it up, it starts to become provocative and trolling from himself.

But like I said, it wasn't that thread alone that justified his ban. It was simply one of many factors, and he'd been warned before about accusing staff of trolling without backing it up.

Let's not even pretend like he's the victim. I said that in the thread. It's what you christian folk seem to love doing.
