Thechef, Im not sure a lot of people/anyone wants or wanted you banned, what you describe sounds a lot like the shaming-to-post better routine.

Whenever I see this routine, I always think less of the ones performing it rather than those subject to it. It's extremely tedious and I doubt it works particularly well. We can use me as an example if you like. I have been subject to this "routine" but I haven't changed my behaviour because of it. It is just that you agree with some of my posts and disagree with others. You decide to call them "good posts" and "bad posts" and by doing this, you are implying that you are the voice of reason. Anybody who tries to elevate themselves to this status is automatically disqualified from the position in my book.

Besides that, I don't think it's as measured as you make it out to be. I think it's more likely that people either enjoy behaving like I described or can't help it.

The fact that your positions are unsupportable and perhaps insane is entirely beside the point.

I don't advocate banning you or any of the other tedious lot either, for what it is worth.

How about us non-tedious posters? Should we be banned?

I'm working on being less tedious, but it requires more effort than I'm willing to give...

If the chef thinks OOT has delicate sensibilities he must be an exceptionally ****ty person.

It's thechef that has delicate sensibilities. He can't even admit to himself that he's a thief.

I was talking about a small number of posters.

I'm not offended that you say it. You're just wrong is all.

27, I have faith you'll get there eventually. I haven't given up on you yet. One day this will be you:

But until that day, there's no shame in asking Rapini for help.

Pretty sure only reason 27 bans anyone is for criticizing him.

Ban reason: belittling a mod in their home forum

Jesus. You'd be all over Rapini's case if he did this.

Quite the contrary. I warned him he was on thin ice and he posted a huggies commercial as a reply and said I'd get there eventually. Well I'm here bitch.

NEXT!

The irony is 27 pretty much just showed how he takes traits from all 3 mods he ranked. Spite banned chopstick, can be a sociopath at times, and wants to shape OOT into his own image (although not nearly at Dids-level).

Well done.

Disgruntled posters start thread complaining about B&M modding

27 offsuit tells Rapini and Lattimer they should follow his hands off approach from OOT

Disgruntled OOT posters say 27 should mod more like Rapini and Lattimer

27 abandons hands off approach and bans critics

??????

Irony
