    Isn't that the point of forums? From an administrative view, more hits = more revenue. From a users view, more content = better user experience. Whether you agree with my tactics is another story, but the results speak for themselves.

    Yes. It's almost impossible sometimes for anyone to have a competent conversation about any topic without "that poster" bringing up Notre Dame, or Bryan Kelly killed a kid or some other BS that inflames everyone and drags the topic off track.

    I've explained it before and I'll explain it again. The only way to fight irrationality is with more irrationality. This is how you win and that is what I do best.

    The best way to fight it is to ignore you, but many people apparently can't and then the thread goes completely off track and nobody cares to read it anymore.

    Interesting perspective, but you are wrong. If nobody cares to read it, then why do they still read it? Do threads just die when I post in them? No, they do the exact opposite.

    Hope someone cares.
    HA! Obviously you care, or you wouldn't be sitting there arguing. It's nice to know, when you finally realize you're wrong...you just blow of the debate as "no one cares." The problem is, people do care. We get on here for entertainment purposes, then we run into lackluster, incapable moderators on a power trip, such as yourself. It's annoying. That's all I'm saying. And sometimes you're okay. Other times, you're a douchebag.

    I'm not saying anything because I am trying to set a good example. Just cry it all out. It will make you feel better.

    Crying it all out is negging someone for not agreeing with them and changing the subject when they're arguing with you. I'm trying to be constructive with you LJ. I love you, I forgive you and I aint even mad. Just trying to help you become a non-douchey moderator. And you can positive rep that to the bank.

    LOL--just read the past two pages, Justin, and that should give you a pretty good indication of where we're at. This site ain't for the meek, or "thin skinned" as sleeper refers to it. The mods have complete autonomy, and that's just the way it is. If you don't like it or can't deal with it, then leave--simple as that.

    Should I put each moderator up to a vote to see if they should retain their position or not?

    You would just pull a "sleeper' and not follow thru with the results.

    Don't let inmates run the asylum. Take opinions under consideration. You should make decisions. Don't make it a popularity contest.
