I don't have an issue with any of that. What i find offensive about your behavior is your refusal to have the reasoning behind your rules and your actions debated in public.

I wonder if you're made of the same stuff that they are. You think starvingeyes should be controlled, well I'm asking why. Do you have the conviction to answer?
Yes, I do. Though I hate to drag this thread back off topic again, you wanted a response from me, so I feel need to answer.
"Controlled" is a harsh word for it. All we're asking of him is that he doesn't post offensive cracks, jokes and what-have-you on the board. And if he does accidentally offend anyone, he apologize for it and simply move on, rather than getting his panties all in a bunch and attacking the people he's already upset by offending.
It's not a hard concept. It's civil discussion. Maybe he's not used to that on other messageboards, but we have respect for each other and each other's feelings on this board.
... Well, I (clearly) don't have any respect for his, but that's because he's proven time and time again to me that he doesn't deserve my respect. But that's a personal issue between the two of us. He can call me names til he's blue in the face for all I care, just don't say stuff that upsets my friends (read: other CMers).

It's amusing you think that my issues with you and my readiness to be honest with my feelings about you have anything to do with "power". Yes, I'm an admin. That has absolutely nothing to do with anything I've said to you on this board.
If I were "drunk with power", I would have banned you long ago. But instead, I've conversed back and forth with you for days.
I've brought the issue of you up with the other mods in the mods forum, yes. I did that because I don't just go banning people without the other mods/admins agreeance. But hey, I'm drunk with power! I guess getting a vote on this instead of doing it on my own is just me being self righteous.
