I'll be completely honest here, folks... This whole "mods vs halforumites" thing seems completely stupid to me. I mean, the mods here are certainly not some sort of secret cabal or Joe Keatinge-like overlords ruling over the huddled masses or some other crap like that. I can count with one hand the times yours I've had to go and use the modhammer here - over the past year and a half!
Besides, I think it's an unfair perception: like the mods are not "true" halforumites, but some kind of elite clique that needs to be opposed or mocked. Especially by one alpha Union Confederate shark kerfluffle... Personally I see nothing constructive coming out of this. And that's my €0.02.
