Am I the only one who's a Moderate Hero about the current mod spat?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

Now it's well know I don't like the moderation on this forum, consider it too intrusive and prefer the way things were years ago when there was little controversy over moderation and the mods only got rid of blatant trolls and spam like that dick picture guy from a few days ago. This forum functioned fine under the laissez-faire moderation and actually had less chaos since the over intrusive moderation has created a culture of paranoia and easy outrage. But despite all that:

-Bushie locked the Update on his own, and could easily unlock it at any time.
-Bushie has done this in the past multiple times, and I see little reason not to believe this will happen again before Christmas, since we all know how much his assurances he won't are worth (or rather just give us banal updates on his life in a thread while insisting still that it's not a new Update.)
-memphis was not banned, and there was never any evidence whatsoever he was, just big assumptions.
-There is no "list", and the only evidence at all being the claim of a troll who inexplicably became a mod at some point and paranoia on the level of that of teabaggers who believe Obama must secretly be planning re-education camps to round all dissidents up and into.

Any moderation system that bans jmfcst and Straha while keeping people like krazen and barfbag around (especially as the latter also hit 100 in the absurd death points system that was the basis for jmfcst's banning) is clearly full of issues but there is really nothing in this instance to fight over.

Am I the only one who doesn't get the jmfcst circlejerk?

He at one point received 10 death points for what basically amounted to nothing more than an obscure movie reference no one else on the forum got. Even if "trolling" which itself is a stretch that's hardly a 10 point worthy offense.

But that's irrelevant and over a year ago. The real question is what makes krazen more worthy of a poster than jmfcst.

-Torie talks about how he is counseling Jeff, and breaks the news to the forum that there won't be a re-opening of the thread. Sinister things are assumed, the standoff between IPU and the moderation team begins.

Bolded is what you are missing.

Lulz at talking about the "IPU" in a non ironic/joking context.

No reason to be a moderate hero here. There is clearly a right side (the mods who are doing their normal job) and a wrong one (the paranoid crybabies and their ridiculous fake outrage). It's that simple.

So every single banned poster in forum history is more deserving of it than krazen?

How about "silly meme that exactly one poster thinks is a serious thing"?

But under what standard does he deserve banning and krazen doesn't?
