Well Warp, while I do agree with you that it's not right for anybody in this community to be treated by another (whether higher-ranking or otherwise) in a hostile or insulting manner -- I've gotta be rather upfront with you in saying that you should apply some of that critique to yourself.
Of course you probably know that I'm referring to one of my
off-topic threads that recently got grue'd due to
your very own persistent hostility towards. I understand that you (and others) thought that the subject was ridiculous. That's fine. But instead of expressing your opinion on it and leaving it at that, you kept at it and escalated until one of the staff members had to step in and lock it.
So Warp, to wrap up my thoughts on this matter, I just want to say that I've got no hard feelings toward you, but I do believe that you need to take an objective look at your own behavior.
