That's not what I'm saying at all. I think her comment was in poor taste, and unnecessary in general.
However, that being said, it was not a declaration of unholy war on all things Jesusy as several here are taking it as. I didn't find it particularly funny, but nor did I find it as particularly awful. Certainly not as bad as to cause this level of animosity.
And yet a number of the people here have found it that insulting. That's why moderators exist, to moderate between people who think something is a violation and people who don't. When a moderator themself is part of the problem, that only exacerbates things.

People here say stupid **** all the time. Hell, I should know, I'm one of the biggest **** talkers on the board as is evidenced by my post count. Yes, what she said was stupid, yes it was inconsiderate. No, it wasn't against the board rules as written.
Yes, we all say stupid stuff from time to time. Yes, it was against the rules.

Besides, since when has "mod" been anything more than a community crossing guard?
See my point above about Mods exacerbating problems. This is why they should be on better behavior than your everyday poster, because once they're involved in a dispute personally it creates additional problems.

I know you're still bitter over the You and Taskiss thing that caused the splintering of Hellfire a while back. That's neither here nor there though.
Actually, you don't
know ****. What I'm bitter about is the fact that Dash has let the place go to ****, doesn't care, and doesn't want to have to care. Well tough **** titty for him, because he took on the mantle of administrator. Being a passive **** does not coincide with that very well at all.

At the end of the day though, I come here for entertainment, community and sharing like interests with like-minded people. We're all fairly different, and we all have fairly different perspectives on some things. In that is our community strength. Getting overly butthurt over a perceived injustice or infraction isn't conducive to any of those things. There's no real reason for any of it IMO.
Ask yourself, "Why am I here". If you can answer that "Because I have fun hanging out here, and I see it as a positive part of my day to post"... you're probably here for the same reason I am. We're all people.
There's no reason to piss on people either, Mus. And while you and Talya and some other people may be nihilistic or nearly so, most of society actually cares about certain things. We have rules to protect community members from insults about those things they care about.
