No. The problem is that sometimes your "strong beliefs" come across sounding like unreasoning emotional responses. I don't think you're a nut, but I do think sometimes you seem overly excitable. Believe it or not, I'm on your side.

Your misinterpretations are really your problem Steve, not mine.

Okay, I'll drop it, and even apologize. But the next time you start complaining about people "attacking" you, you might want to think about it.

We're seeing a good example of why Pride, of all things, was considered the most dangerous of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Care to explain that comment?

The comment refers to the fact that you display such a level of hubris that you are unable to come to terms with your shortcomings; in this case specifically your interpersonal shortcomings as it relates to this forum. As such, Steve did not create a mistrepresentation of you, rather he spoke the truth. It is simply a truth that you didn't want to hear.

I hope that is more clear for you.

And I find you both biased and judgmental. You really are a terrible choice as moderator. I hope that is just as clear to you.

If someone that acts like you thought I was a good guy and a good moderator, I would have failed in my job. People like you shouldn't like me.

I am biased and judgemental, and no I'm not proud of it. That said, I'll stand by my observations. Sometimes you seem totally reasonable and at others you seem to be more than a little excitable. Like now.

But I didn't plan to say all this in public. I made a joke, and you got your back up about it. As I said, I agree with you on this subject. Yes, Feurer Frei is right - this specific point hasn't been touched before. On the other hand it is just one more gun control thread. So I made my joke, and I made my comment about topic spamming. Right? Wrong? Some of both? Either way I'm sorry for the derailing.
