Johan, if I were to call you "arrogant", as you have done to me in post #302639, especially more than once in a single post and going out of your way to be insulting and turn a discussion into a personal attack, I'm certain that Tim would ban me from the board for flaming you, and with good cause. As a moderator you can (and do) ignore the rules as you see fit. However, until such time as you learn to be civil, and behave by the rules that you expect from the rest of us, I don't feel obliged to speak to you further.

This thin skinnedness is a bit rich coming from you. Whatever happened to 'not mincing words' and similar the phrases that you used to be so keen on.

I'm not sure she's thin skinned so much as pointing out a perceived hypocrisy, a double standard. If a notorious flamer (like Stormie or me) attacked her, she might brush it off. But it really does seem like anyone who insults someone associated with Illwinter / Shrapnel gets threatened with banning, or Banned. One of Shrapnel's people had posted a threat to that effect in the Last month. And in the Last week, Cohen was telling people again and again and again in all the MP games he was in that he'd been Banned from the forums for clashing with Zen. Of course, we all take Cohen with a grain of salt, but still.
If the powers that be want to have such a nice clean forum, they really shouldn't be throwing insults themselves. _That's_ the issue. If it's okay for a PTB to insult people, why isn't it okay for everyone else to insult people? Or for me, to insult non-people?
Or is it okay for straight forward insults to be cast about once more, in which case I don't need to be indirectly insulting to certain people anymore. Unless they're PTBs?
