Heh heh, good parody of a newb-...Wait, you're serious? You actually think "whinging so pathetically" is a personal attack worthy of sanction? I'd call whining about someone calling you a whiner ironic, but somehow I actually expected this. If you were Anglius, I'd sympathize. Since you aren't, you are nothing more than a hypocrite with a fascinating case of selective amnesia. Let me jog your memory a little.
"Given that Cyde and SlimVirgin are both infamous for being dicks..." "Does Cyde have ANY redeeming qualities whatsoever?" "I would never link to anything written by Cyde, even if I agreed with it - I won't give the bastard the satisfaction" "I never thought much of Gmaxwell since he did one thing to earn himself the title of "dick"." "Ryulong is batshit insane (now at least) if you ask me."
I don't know how guilty Nathan may be of anything, and I'm not interested in finding out. Still, statements that presume guilt, or that accuse someone of whinging could hardly be called respectful language. He may very well have made all the comments above, but that does not justify having the admin descend into the same gutter. Admins should rise above the fray with more dispassionate and neutral language.

Perhaps, but spades are spades, and sockpuppeting blocked users are just that. In addition, if that refers to me, I'm not an admin now, nor was I at the time I said that. Had I been, possibly I would not have phrased my remark is exactly that manner.
