This despicable persona he's built is the reason why people pick on him. Because people like seeing despicable people get pissed off. It's entertaining. That's also why the moderators have a double standard whether they realize it or not. Why people can say **** about his son or insult him for hours but the moment HE says something they all of a sudden enforce rules. That's politics though. You can't escape biased moderation. In this case, at least the bias wasn't petty.

Most of the rest is playful banter, except when they let Bat or OH do that thing where they look for a loose thread to pull so they can watch people unravel.





The complaint, WWWP, isn't that they want strict moderation, it's that they want FAIR moderation. You know that wasn't a luxury given to merit.
