@Terminillis: If we got technical then most of the members would have one kind of infraction on them or another.
People are more then capable to voice their opinion without being demeaning, crass, vengeful, etc. It is when they choose to voice their minds in these negative ways that we step in. Sometimes it is before actual TOS rules are crossed becuase we try to steer people away from crossing that line. But ultimately it is up to the member to decide if he/she wants to be civil. And it is when they choose not to be civil that we take appropriate action.
Oh, and your little slam about how Mods should be the first to clean up their rudeness is a libelous, generalized snipe of a statement that breaks TOS.
To generalize all the mods as being the same and rude is in itself very rude. In fact I would go so far as to say you took that quote and totally validated the posters feelings by using it in your reply.
