Matt, I'm aware that folk have feelings, so I'm not going to get into silly debate about anything that might cause your feelings to be hurt, but there are one or two things that don't sit well between us, and they are all very simple.
If you want to get on better with me, stop looking for the fancy lines, and the smart replies, and just be a genuine bloke. A perfect example is this current 'Fucks that I couldn't give' thing you keep trying to get right, but keep messing up. It has the opposite effect from that which you desire, and simply makes you seem more interested in how you say something, and wanting to be the clever guy, than what you actually want to say. Humour is great, but sarcasm is an art best left to those who don't mind an occasional verbal bat across the head.
Whoever came out with the comment "It's not what you say, it's how you say it" confused a lot of folk. Be genuine. Be honest, and be to the point, and you'll earn my respect, but some of your comments over the years have left you wide open, and you know the ones I speak of.
I don't mind moderators when they are needed, but on a forum that averages a handful of people online at any time, most of whom have been here for years, it's probably best to quit with the I'm a Mod' approach, and 'These are the rules', as it comes across a bit like a Monty Python sketch, where you have a group of Supervisors sat in an office, twiddling their thumbs, waiting for the day the new recruit opens the door, so they can 'Supervise' them, (in a piss taking French accent only the MP team could speak).
So drop the bollocks and we'll get on great mate, but quit pointing to rules written by a fat Everton fan (sorry Pat) scratching his arse on the Internet nearly 10 years ago wondering what to write down, like they're the flipping 10 commandments, and realise doing so is just strangling the site, and any natural course it may take.
We all loved you so much better when you were just a member talking shite like everybody else.
