Haven't seen a single rant regarding you so far, so your argument kinda proves itself useless. Besides, I'm actually being nice to reply to your arguments with complete sense and logic when I could just close the topic, warn and leave.
Authority? What authority? We enforce the rules, so, at best, we're rule enforcers. Last time I checked, I had to attend to various tickets of players, train new GMs, mod the forums, hold events in-game, support players on msn/forums/in-game. Yeah, I guess you're right, this job is full of joy and fun.
Nice thing to know you love the place, I guess that'll make it even easier for you to abide by the rules of the forums.
I wouldn't call that a rant. More of a call so you people would let unbased rumors die already.
