I cant really see how someone could get so worked up over an internet forum.

Perhaps if you had pled your case in a mature manner instead of making a big ******* deal over it I'd be tempted to agree with you.
Uh this is a mature manner. It's not like I went on the forum right now and said "OMG you're ALL St00pid!"
Give me a break.

Moderator favorites and fools like h0t_sauc3 are bringing this forum down.

If you want to be technical about it, from what I remember asking someone to 'leave' or ordering another member around is against the site rules. You definitely want to be careful what arguments to make if you have a point to make.

Tell me this... What isn't against the site rules?
So many people get away with everything and I get pushed around? It's not going to happen. I can name several members right now that HAVE NOT been permanently banned after breaking COUNTLESS rules.

Very good post Chompton and I agree almost all of it. Some people on these forums seem to get special treatment from the mods (I myself have gotten special treatment) while others seem to be singled out for doing the littlest thing which is unfair. Viva le revolution!

It's really not all that mature. I mean sure you tried to make it look mature by typing it up in an organized manner, but it really is just one big, long, subdued temper tantrum. You pretty much just state that you are mad and plan to somehow get even, and that they can never ban you and you dare them to try. It's the content and attitude of your tirade that makes it immature.

Is that supposed to be funny, or are you really that dense?

You've been here for as long as I can remember, and a lot of times, people get away with flaming, even mods, I remember.
It's sad how Mr. Eat decided to single you out, but you shouldn't really have been flaming in the first place.
I do think, however, that we veterans with 1000+ posts are being a bit rude to newcomers, who are just try to reach out to us, like h0t_sauc3.

Hear, hear. Though I admit to being stupid lately, I think the mods have been a little harsh on people, and some of my posts have been deleted. Some topics of discussion are shut down before they get a chance to be read, like RaiLs demanding an apology from me. I was writing one, when the thread was deleted. And some people have been kinda mean, though they dont really have any responsibilty, unlike the mods, so you cant really blame them. You have my support Chomp.

Well that's your problem with what I wrote. I'm tired of seeing all of these acts go unfettered.

In all seriousness all you had to do was swallow your pride dude. Your account was disabled for a reason and complaining isn't going to do anything about it but make things worse. Bottom line dude: you don't make the rules. Long standing member or not you did something to cross the line and Eat caught you. If you still have an issue with that then get sufficient evidence and take it up with Bond otherwise your entire arguement is moot.

I felt it somewhat my duty to reply to this, as it has been seen as a "hot topic" throughout the history of the forums, nay, the internet.
Your altercation with EatChildren, without having seen your post, from the sounds of his taken actions, it most likely hurt the "rogue moderator" more than you expected it, you possibly thought the post would not have been able to have harmed anyone. Every person has a breaking point, as EatChildren demonstrated in his decision to suspend you, and you in your retaliation.
If you would be kind enough to find the post which caused the suspension and or warning, unless it has been "removed". So I could further analyse, for at this point I'm just pulling stuff out of my *******.
Why must humanity always try to cause suffering upon itself?

Why didn't he catch the others who were harassing me or who have been harassing me? That's why I take things into my own hands. I want this argument to be seen by all who frequent this forum. This is just a wake up call to almost everyone.
I know I don't make the rules but neither do others. That's including the moderators. They just enforce the rules. All the non-existent ones mind you.

Something that just popped into my head after reading this thread.
Maybe the staff here could create a subforum designed to allow members to provide feedback to staff/moderators. It would perhaps create a better relationship and thus prevent "explosions" such as this.
