I'm guessing this is Swerve considering this is the only post on this account which was set up just after he was banned,but anyway I can't speak for the mods for the exact reason but I feel he went against the intended purpose of this board as stated in the guidelines which says it's intended to be an open and free enviroment, many people have said they stopped coming as much because of the nature of his posts because everytime they posted something he didn't agree with he would post something condescending about the person themselves implying that he was superior and that they just were mentally incapable or seeing what he did ,and then he would hide behind a wall of ignorance thinking that his own opinion was the hard and fast truth and it made it a frustating and pointless exercise to post here anymore as it wasn't even a debate or discussion, I don't mind when someone doesn't agree with me but he would just go at the person directly instead of countering the original points they made even if the original post was a legitimate well formed argument which is a form of flaming, also in the forum guidelines, I just don't think it's good for the forums longetivity to have people like that,if people feel that even if they post an intelligent well written argument they're are going to be personally belittled they're not going to bother.
