Try to not let it affect you too much. You do occasionally make a significant contribution to a thread.
Don't let this totally discourage you. Everyone has some value to add.
Reinvent the British and you get a global finance center, edible food and better service. Reinvent the French and you may just get more Germans.

BQ, I prefer not to name drop.
To use your own words, if you would have noticed, my long and stellar career in the backroom has led to a lot of changes in my style of posting. I have tried to abide the rules.
However, as you say, you are a "spirit kind of chap". So if you deem the spirit unwelcome... ... ... Anyway, one might have wished the rules would have been more clear, or YOU more friendly (don't really have a problem with most other contacts with mods). I guess that makes me a spirit kind of chap huh? I dont like your moderating skills (or lack there-of).
The infraction I posted above, where I get a infraction for bumping a thread is a prime example. How the hell would anyone see that infraction coming, I just bumped a thread after I noticed it had been mentioned in another thread, to make it easier for people to find it. Didn't insult anyone, didn't even make a stand on the issue. It was one of those times when I could prove with actual dates and times that you were wrong. Did you step down, nah, your personal little e-peen wouldnt suffer that. Instead you just whimsed together some other accusation totally unrelated to what the infraction was about in the first place. Bad style, and def not the first time you have made bad calls on intention.
See, here is my point:
You can read something in a positive way, neutral way, or negative way.
There are examples of forum users, a few comes to mind, who push hard to read things in a positive way. There are also people who do their best do read in a neutral way.
You, however, let your emotions seep through, and often act on what you believe is the intent, and quite often from a negative perspective (specially if you don't like this persons beliefs). You must understand that gets, well, tedious after a while.
So basically, from what I have seen and witnessed, you let your own personal judgement at large cloud your functioning as a mod. I am not impressed. At all. On occasions you have even assaulted members in threads, I have def reacted to some of your posting. Very uncool.
And I know you argue this is a "illusion" from my point, that will stand for you. I have another view of the issue, and that is that you read some members from a positive perspective, and some from a negative. Of course we all do that to some extent, you just happen to be the least controlled.
Beskar, as I said, I didnt enjoy the little forum fight with centurion1 either. Snide comments sure, and it could easily have been resolved. Was I rude, sure, but imagine meeting personal attacks including a whole lot of asterisk's in thread after thread, you would probably also start to get a bit rude after a while. I do not think that you, or anyone else, can accuse me of unprovoked having jumped on members, or?
Fragony, BQ is the only mod I have had issues with. Rest seem to do as OK as can be expected.
Meneldil, probably not. Tata.
Vladimir, 2 months is a long time, and I am sure that by then I will have found something else to occupy my time. Actually, already have, hence my delayed response.
Centurion1, I am not sure your rebuttal actually went against anything I said. Crap might not be seen as vulgar to you, but then, BQ has tried to give me infractions for writing "pubic hair", so I def take no chances. That was however one of those few times some more cognitive side of him came awake and told the rest of his brain he was being silly.
I actually dont think I got any infractions from our squabble, except when they gathered all the close-to infractions into a 2 month ban for some reasons.
Anyway, I am off now, just wanted to assure you I have no ill feelings towards you what so ever. I by far do not consider you an idiot, and never have. We had an issue a night when I was drunk, I tried to stop it ASAP, and after that I have just been slightly tired fighting you on the forums (and I guess it showed).
But I must say, I didnt put any real soul into it, dont know who you are, and from the little I know you seem to be a promising young man :)
So all the best of luck to you :)
Big thanks to TosaInu for putting in the time, has felt like a home for years.
Also big thanks to the backroom, so many strong characters in one place, keep duking it out! Cant really single out anyone, friend or foe (then, I dont really have any foes from my side, even the ones furthest from me politically have been staunch side-kicks in some threads).
So, time for me to bow out of this forum...
*bow*
if it means anything to you Kadagar_AV, i think your "list of flags" is quite impressive regardless.![]()

Damn to be honest, despite being opposed to his irrational and hardcore atheism and his promotion of cognitive differences between races, I'm kinda gonna miss Kadagar. He did make the Backroom an interesting place at times. I'd put up with some trolling for that.![]()
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?
One thing has held true throughout the years, though. You will never win against the moderators (not that I think you should win in this situation). You have no rights, and are only allowed to be in the Backroom at their discretion. They are usually quite benevolent in exercising their power, but make no mistake that it is their power - given directly by the site's owners/administrators - to do with what they will.
He'll be back. They always come back.![]()
