I actually have no idea how you moderate.  I've been a good boy, so I haven't needed to be moderated. I just think it's bad when the moderators get all personal.  Moderating under an alt would fix that, then you could get all personal with me without the moderator badge giving it an additional layer of bullying.

In seriousness, you are a witty individual.  "Brevity is the soul of wit." But by definition a witty statement is missing context or other aspects of the "whole truth".  This is why I can say I'm more honest than you.  I don't mean any malice.  You are what you are and I am what I am.

Therein is the rub. If I was a bad moderator as you suggest then you'd already be gone regardless of what you have or haven't done, just because your nonsense irritates me personally. On the flip side, some consider me a bad mod because you're still here, because your nonsense irritates them personally. You're entitled to think whatever you want, but what you think has little bearing on reality. But if you think I do this out of malice, that's a mistake. I do it in an attempt to create a sense of self awareness within you about how your hubris always overrides your good sense and rubs people the wrong way. But that will always be a losing proposition since, in your mind, you are the good guy (or in this case the victim of "bullying"). I'll never be able to overcome the arrogance of your self image, no matter how much I rub your nose in that fact that it's just an illusion. But that's ok; I'm not paid enough to be your shrink, just enough to be your foil.
