Hey Puffy, don't get mad at me. I'm just stating my opinion. Honestly, I don't really know him. However, I know i've seen him posting around a lot before, and he keeps the mood light around here. I will agree that the thread was childish. I think he was just having a "mood swing" but a lot of other mods have "mood swings" as well, his was just a silly one. We're all human, just because someone is a mod doesn't take away their human factor. I think we oftentimes expect mods to be "superhuman" we don't want them to show that they're angry or sad or whatever when they post. However, as we all know, our attitudes are shown in our posts. It's in the language and tone of the read that we leave for others. And the same goes for all of us. When we're in a certain mood, our posts reflect our mood. The only difference is all of us do not have the power that goes along with it.
So, yeah, the thread was childish and stupid. Did it hurt anyone? No. Was it offensive? No. Was it serious enough for a permanent ban from someone who's a mod, and an active member who I've never seen cause a lot of trouble before. I think not.
Just my opinion.
