see there's one problem with your train of thought, and that's that you think we just start picking on random people out of the blue. the golden rule isn't about "treat me well now" it's about "treat others well first." it's funny you say i would need reminding when you're just apparently incapable of comprehending it. i can't speak for other staff but in this zone i generally mind my own business in public until someone starts saying really bogus things (such as for example, the implication that a sysop thinks he is a god.) such an !@#$%^&*ertion just shows how far out there you really are, this is just a game, and it's an ever changing one, no more, and no less. people in this game like to think that the staff is out to get them, because it's a convenient excuse. of course it ends up becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy in my experience. your excuse for behavior is that you think we are out to make your lives (though actually just this game) miserable by making the game "worse." our excuse for our behavior is that you think that. doesn't disallow me: if you don't want things posted in your threads, why post threads? especially ones where you're trying to provoke yet more controversy. don't forget, you called me out in this thread, why are you so shocked that i'm posting here? edit: ^ I didn't see this post before, but it sums up my post. let me know when something is added or changed in HS with the intent to offend you.
