As a compare/contrast to the Mechaman poll.

FF, a good guy, just needs to smoke some good weed and calm down a bit, but a good guy nonetheless.

If he wasn't a mod, he'd just be a moderately friendly guy that is reluctant to join in on the fun. But as he is indeed a moderator, he's an absolute terror. It's actually kind of sad. Would anyone here have a problem with Inks outside of his moderation "duties"?

Nope.  I rather liked him before he became a mod.

Most of the people who complain about me as a mod do it because it's the "cool" thing to do.  If other mods took the actions I took, there largely wouldn't be any outcry.  Torie seems to have fallen largely into this category as well.

Apart from an accident, most of the people here who complain about my actions complain about some pretty trivial stuff or are part of the opebo club who think that even users who post porn shouldn't be banned.

To be fair, Inks, that's partly because you have a tendency to stick your foot in your mouth when explaining your actions.  Not saying that's an issue with the Mechaman case, but there have definitely been cases over the years where I thought your actions were perfectly defensible, yet you tied yourself up in rhetorical knots in your public explanation for said actions….the most infamous being "anti-pro-heterosexual rhetoric".

Also, why do we have two threads on the same topic?

Sure, at times, but not often, and that wasn't a mod action.

I actually mostly like him as a poster. In his current position as a moderator though, ugh...

I found some of his "tough love" tactics that he tried to use on BushOklahoma to be pretty distasteful but other than that, no.

No problem with him whatsoever. I don't post in all the social forums, so maybe I'm missing something... but I don't really even understand where the hate comes from.

EDIT: Oh, the Mechaman thing? Holy Christ, I thought it was something serious.

FF; the only time I called him out on his moderating I was in the wrong.

Like Torie, the more he pisses off the complaineypants, the more I like him.

I disagree with him a fair bit on moderation but he's a nice person who takes his moderation seriously. Doesn't deserve the flak he gets and is of course way more likeable than his attackers. You guys are the worst.

Basically don't get a job in Public Relations. Ever. Unless, of course, you intend to do this for causes and/or organisations/individuals that I detest, in which case you should totally consider that as a career.

Wanted to make my point without a stupid hyperbolic title. However point made. Compare his ratings to Mechaman's.

I'm glad I waited to vote in this.  My decision was pretty easy.
