Ok, that's it, I can't keep my mouth shut about this. Do you know why CP got banned this time? Because he was bloody well second guessing the moderators. I mean, he also used an overtly hostile tone and phrasing when he should have actually paid attention to what he was told, and yeah, that's the direct reason, but he only got there because he was acting like bans and not bans should affect his discussion or even be his business in the first place.
I'm not going to tell you to stop backseat moderating, that's simply not my place, but I am going to say that I find it offensive. Our mods aren't thin skinned and I doubt they'd want to address it, because when you're a mod everything you say about mannerisms and rhetorics can sound very different, but it's insulting when you loudly proclaim they're running this place wrong, and that's _exactly_ what you do when you're second guessing them like this.
Look, Jonas said it right here:
And CP, arguing against me, or any other mod here, will not get you banned. Pulling the "oh no I can't argue against you, you'll just ban me!" card will only make you look like an asshat to a community that I bet can't even remember the last time somebody was banned from here
Using the concept of bans as some kind of discussion token, like Vector and you and CP did in that lovely forum play, as a rhetorical slam or a put down, doesn't just misunderstand the sentiment this place is being run with, it also seems to say that you know better than the people who run it. I really like the place the way it is right now, so to borrow a phrase, to me, it makes you look like an asshat when you say stuff like you just did.
