Threatening to use mod powers over a personal disagreement?

You say "that's one"; one what? One post where he said that he's going to continue responding to Merc? One post where he said you shouldn't threaten to ban him for responding to Merc? Do I get a strike for saying you shouldn't threaten to ban him?

There's a joke with the punch line "That's one".

That's what I took it for, anyway.

All I see is you making assumtions. I didn't say anything about banning.

For some reason you can't get it through your fucking head, that my posts have nothing to do with the work I do as a moderator. I might add, you don't even see what I do as a moderator, except occasional results of cleaning things up.

I hope that's true. If so, you should probably keep in mind that throwing out a phrase that is one of the banning criteria, and following up with "That's, one" has an entirely different complexion when coming from a moderator.

If I misunderstood, I apologize.

I'm confused. If I misinterpreted you, that's one thing.

But are you seriously trying to claim that a moderator (who one can assume knows the criteria for banning) quoting one of those criteria in reference to a poster is too subtle to be interpreted as a reference to banning? If that's subtle, what is the obvious interpretation?

You are the only one that said anything about banning. I was reminding them of the fucking rules.
A lot of people, myself included, are sick and tired of the Merc/Redux pissing match being repeated, verbatim, in threads they don't belong. They are more than welcome to take it back where it started, and piss away, till the cows come home, but in this thread they're becoming intolerably irritating.

I would not support Redux banning. What has happened is between him and I, just as it has happened between many others.

I accept my responsibility in the exchange but will not waver from my convictions of my statements...

Carry on.
