Once again.........Heretic................You are a Moderator here. Stooping to the level of banned posters makes you look just as bad. i see no need to pile on someone after they have been banned. As a Mod, when do you take the high road? Shouldnt a Mod be able to take some heat? Criticism?
The honest way I look at it.
1. Truly stooping to his level would involve making multiple lowbrow profane posts attacking others on a regular basis. Under the many names of this dude, he's had multiple instances where he does that.
2. I have no problems taking heat or criticism. Like, this post by you doesn't upset me one bit. It's your opinion and you presented it maturely and reasonably. There's a big difference between that and what Elliot/King was doing. He repeatedly has argued with/verbally attacked Justin and a couple other mods and immediately escalated into mindlessly profane posts when confronted. After a while, it's hard to come to any other conclusion other than that he's being how he is solely to be a thorn in our side because this site won out over his.
3. I see what you're saying with the "take the high road" part, but here's how I look at things. I'm a mod, but I'm also a user who likes to BS. I don't like needlessly modding people because they're being a bit abrasive. And I have no qualms against being a bit abrasive myself. The way I look at it, I'm not going to do anything to you for posting like I do. But when you go over the top like he did, the gloves come off.
