Re: The Joys of Overzealous Moderators
Executor:
Callaghan is obviously a perfectionist type. i know the type well enough: my wife is the same, and we have been married for over 12 years.
Perfectionists at their best are a great asset to any organization/community, they are incredibly energetic and focused, so they get **** done.
At their worst, however, they are a handicap, they fixate so much on the mistakes of others that they become a source of trouble & conflict, alienating other members and preventing them from reaching their full potential.
It's easy to see how Callaghan has been both things for this comunity.
Rdonj: He has his friends, such as you, to vouch for him. He can re-join and speak for himself. He is far from defenseless. Who vouches for your targets in Invision? I bet anyone that shows to defend himself will rather suffer a piling on. That's exactly the way of old boys clubs, bullies & hive minds. Do not expect an applause if that's the way you choose to act.
Besides, your place->your rules. This is Shrapnel's place, guess who gets to write the rules here.
You are the one who is missing the point because of your coloured glasses, try to be more objective.
Really, the cards are on the table. Callaghan gets to choose whether he wants to be a valuable asset for the Dominions community or just a troublemaker.
