No, it's a reflection of you taking a message board waaaaaaaaaay too seriously. And no, you didn't ask nicely, you said it with a certain insufferable pomposity that seems to pervade most of the posts you've made in the last year or so. Your sarcastic little "buddy" closer in that last post is a prime example.

I don't think anyone has suffered any truly hurt feelings from anything that's ever been said on this board. Abcd is a douche, no question, and he seems to take pride in it. But he'll get an ass-chewing for it, and so what if it derails the thread? Big fucking whoop. It's not like a thread going off-track is going to keep some important legislation from passing. It's just a bunch of yo-yos on a message board pretending they know some shit.

A guy can get called out for being an ass, whether it ruins a thread or not. The thread can always be brought back on track. Waving magical moderator powers around is silly and pretentious.
