To Steel God

Ed/Erik;
You two should know better than to stir it up.

NOTE: This post applies to me an I am leaving Ed out of this, hence the use of I an me verses we.

I am quite confused with why myself is the only one banned for stiring it up. In my mind I took as many shots as I gave, but yet I am confused as to why I was only banned.

You've both been moderators and should have a better grasp at self moderation

My past as a moderator is irrelevant. I am a regular memeber and feel I should be treated as such. What you are implying is that I am being held to a higher standard. I am not sure that it is fair.

Since you brought up my previous life as a moderator, what I would have done in the running battle is PM a few people that needed to calm down and tell them as such. If that failed I would post it pubically and as a last resort ban. But that's me. I received no warnings and the disappointing part of that is that I was assured by a moderator of this forum that I would be giving the chance to clean up a post if need be as I did not ever want to be banned.

then merely walking the lines and pushing the envelope.

Other than a post referencing a deleted post I had not pne post edited or removed. I am I supposed to infer that I crossed the line? There was no actions taken by any moderators during this flare up and I know that the forum was visited by the moderators during this time. No action was taken. In the absence of action taken against anyone I assumed I was on the right side of the law.

You've both been given a week off to calm down,

I was never upset or lacked calm. Its just a game and I do like quality verebal sparring.

and when you come back you should consider the endless copying and pasting of rule books as obnoxious behavior.

I did not do this.

Surely a page reference or a copied sentence or two will suffice to make a point.

This is all I did.

If you can't make a point without being charitable in the delivery you should refrain entirely.

Then I would ask that this standard apply equally to all. I did not throw the first punch in this festival of squabbling.

If you can't abide by those rules we can part company.

Again I had no idea I wasn't abiding by the rules. Could I get a hint or a sign in the future that I maybe heading in the wrong direction?

I would have stepped off the gas well in advance of getting banned if someone could have taken a minute to PM me.

I don't want to be banned or part company.

Please send me a PM if you feel I am apporaching trouble.

Also this post is not to challenge and stir but it is to become better informed and to learn.

Thanx!

Hawk
