Eh, I guess I'll jump into this again a bit, even if I know you won't listen. It's more for clarification to the community.
The only people I've ever seen make the claims about the staff abusing power are those who well, are those causing problems and driving people away by kicking off flame wars, spamming, etc. Not seeing that your actions have been contributing significantly to these things over the years, why you should alter these behaviors, or why they may cause forum moderators to finally say, "Hey, knock it off already or we may have to take action"? That's pretty obtuse.
The only problem is that, as Tal posted, we let these shenanigans go on for a lot longer than we should have and that things should been done earlier. But, you know, we have lives, and so did Dan, and sometimes that takes us away from the site. So yeah, I guess it would be a change in tone from what you've gotten used to, but it would be more like how it was prior. You know, hopefully without daily flame wars and such.
