pan, I really honestly don't know if you are talking about me or not, but I'll go ahead and answer as if you are.
I know that I can have a temper as well as an overly sarcastic streak in me, and I also know that have shown it on this board.
When I have done so I have tried to publically recognize it as well as appologize for it, even to people that I privately may not care for, even Manx.
BUT I have also gone out of my way to avoid the apperance of letting my personal feelings dictate how I mod a board, and I feel that I have been mostly successful. In the case of Manx, I took far more abuse from him than I would take from anyone in normal circumstances, so much so that other mods were surprised and offered to ban him for me.
No, it took him being repeatedly rude to other posters for him to earn a 7 day temp ban (which I did indeed issue). Others, both to the left and right, have recieved the same stepwise warnings/bannings and are still here. But Manx had to sign up as another user to bitch about it. This is why he was permanently banned.
But like an angry child, he can't stay away.
So if you are talking about me making a joke of him, I'm sorry, but you'll have to live with that. I didn't make a joke out of him, he did it himself with this sort of behavior.
