Intolerance
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2006 11:57 am
After reading some of the previous posts from the Avatar Sizes thread, I felt I should bring about an issue that I have long had with some forum goers. Many of you seem to hold serious grudges against the two users under the names Malf and Veegie, yet with what I see as unjustified hate.
These two users have been around for an extremely long time, Longer than most of the moderators here. Though they may get a little rowdy sometimes, their contributions to these forums easily outweighs any harmful material they have brought in. It seems many of you have such an intolerance for any deviation from the rules, or even accepted ideas, that you must pounce on anyone, and especially these two, whenever any deviation happens. Some of you are so quick to judge, so quick to hate, that you even attribute various happenings to Malf and Veegie when they could have not possibly been involved in those instances. In relation to the instance where Malf and Veegie were accused of banning an individual, unless you have logs to dispute my claim, it did not happen. I will be happy to defend them on this matter.
If, for whatever reason, any of you reading this thread have not seen the recent positive activity from malf, then my suggestion of future moderatorship stands all the more.
You cannot correlate Malf's activities outside of this forum to any idea that he may perform poorly as a moderator, or even as a basic forum user. In comparison, that would be like challenging my title of Administrator because of things that I have done privately, in my personal life. It is utterly incomprehensible.
If you people cannot learn to take some negative criticism, and even the occasional flame for something you've said, then in my opinion, you should not continue to be a part of these forums. This is life people, and not everything can be censored or dumbed down for you.
I would be glad to hear any complaints, suggestions, and even flames from any who would like to contribute them. Lets see where this thread takes us.
