I mean, I'm sure if that is the case then it's probably not intentional/subconscious.

I'm sure I could've phrased this better, but I think there's a good point somewhere, in there.

FTFY?

Yes, definitely. Thanks for translating.

I get criticized every day.... oh wait... nvm....

I see what you did there. Thanks for having fun at my expense, it's appreciated.

Can you cite an example or two of this immunity? Because that would be quite concerning if true. I would certainly want to look into it.
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.'

Omg, EP is obviously on the war path again...*sigh* It's gonna be a long day around here...

Negative attention is better than no attention I guess. Right, EP?

The original wording is a bit silly but I actually think it's a great question I'm looking forward to answering it in my interview.

I think EP's reprashed post, stating it as a question and not as aggressive/confident is a good question.

It wouldn't surprise me if such happened unconsciously but not only in favor of the staff members. I think it's not too far fetched that for some people, the more you like a person the less judgemental you might be of them. And I believe people with higher status among people who aren't envious are generally more liked.

E.g if <insert person you like> broke a rule the criticism towards that person would not be the same as the criticism towards <insert Tibs, no one likes him> and since they're (the criticisms) different, naturally one would be a bit kinder than the other. 

However I myself haven't seen the staff members treat someone unjust or shitstorm them unless it's a more "severe" case that slightly goes out of hand. Then there's a bit shitstorming (but in those cases it's needed)
