Dear lord Test,
Please understand that this forum is not here to hurt other's feelings. In all honesty, I was the one removing that post as that's in no way a tolerant way to say goodbye to a moderator. The fact he may have done wrong, doesn't mean that you need to hurt his feelings. Everyone makes mistakes.
Then again, Exxxe already had his consequences which is removal of the moderator rank. Why make it worse by hurting his feelings?
This topic's name is 'Goodbye'. This most likely means someone's leaving. How would you feel if somebody said something to you just like you did to Exxxe?
Now I understand the frustrations; I'm not trying to stand on his side. I'm trying to make you understand that this is not the right way of resolving those problems.
As I was not there when Exxxe was wrong, I can't tell much more than this.
If you think I lacked information, please don't feel bad for filling me up! Just make sure you stay polite.
Politeness brings you further than (somewhat) rude behaviour.
My goal is not to hurt other peoples feelings. And I would like to point out again I have no control over other peoples feelings.
I completely understand the point you are trying to make about being polite and I am happy to admit I am being blatently honest and somewhat combative instead of lying and being all lovey dovey and kind toward Exxxe. "oh it's sooooo sad to see you leaving, so sorry to hear the troubles you've been through". That's not genuine or honest and I'm not going to go that route.
He has for many months abused his powers and deleted my threads, posts, and edited a number of my comments.
And as I sit here reading his "goodbye", the way I read it, looks like he is made out to be some sort of "victim" in all of this, which in my mind is completely the opposite of what has happend due the the repeated abuse that he did. It sounds like he claims ignorance and always had good intentinos at heart. That may very well be true, I'm not debating his intentions or him as a person.
My goal is to point out the fact that for a long time, which was documented many times and reported many times, that he repeatedly abused his powers as a moderator and did things he wasn't allowed to do along with interpreting the same rules different for some than for others.
I wish him well in RL and in my previously deleted post I mentioned that I look forward to talking to him on "even ground" now that he's not a mod and can no longer delete or edit my posts.
