but in past were the "moderators" known as "Kalwejt" and constantly-cantankerous "Hashemite", quasi-fascists and totally incompetent for this job. Pretty ridiculous that they were chosen for it ...
I guess you'll just have to forgive me for saying that it seems like an interesting coincidence that the two examples of bad Moderators you gave are the ones who wished to curtail your Austria-posting in the international boards.
You were canned for your abusive outburst, and by Dave, who made that decision himself. It wasn't a question of your moderating decisions. I imagine if you asked Dave, he would say it was not a mistake, because there wasn't another option in his mind. I'm sure if anyone else on the mod team said what you said, we'd also get booted out. There have already been similar examples since last year.
The problem here is the obvious hypocrisy: "Kalwejt" is a literal fascist, who thinks he can do whatever he wants and deletes posts that are not in line his world-view. Frankly, it is me who can post what I want here on any topic and as much as I want, as long as it's not against the rules. But yeah, I get de-modded for a single, not even-seriously-meant comment ...
And then there's "Hash", who (among other filthy, character-assassinating backstabbers) continued talking and ridiculing me behind my back on the other forum ...
But hey ! They can stay on as mods ... Great judgement, Dave and Co. !
