How are you still a mod? SidSpaceman featuring Various Styles

Note: I was originally going to make this a private message, but this is the kind of thing that people should see because I know there are more people who feel the same way and it wouldn't get resolved with this guy if I were to PM him. Original message here:

I love how as a mods of this site you guys resort to personal attacks, mocking users who you've given out yellow cards to, blatant prejudice ("klan=repugs=spazzos"), and homophobia (calling your own posters f*ggots). You guys were somehow granted power despite not being able to handle situations like a moderator should and it tarnishes the image of the site and turns off potential posters/lurkers from wanting to register and be ridiculed, thus losing ad revenue which helps to sustain this site existing in the first place. Maybe DK and Huss are ok with how you guys act, but I doubt it. When a poster gets out of line, why resort to attacking them back? Isn't it your job as mods to squash that and not stoop to the same level, using your moderating powers when necessary to hand our legitimate cards? Why are you even engaging these posters in an argumentative way? Maybe I'm mistaken but it gets brushed under the rug and its pretty embarrassing for your fanbase and for the good posters at BSMX (Rafael Hernandez, In My Defense, DGreat etc. etc.) who have something worthwhile to say and are clearly miles ahead of you when it comes to critical thinking and taking the right actions dealing with posters.

I've gotten out of line tons of times, admittedly, and probably should have gotten a yellow for personal attacks lately in the USA-Mex rivalry threads. But then, I'm not a representative of this site and this company. Do you think this is something a mod should be saying?

How about this?

This?

I don't think it is. There are likely more examples of this but I've wasted enough time posting this in the first place and I think you guys get the idea. Maybe these two should take a different approach with applying their moderating skills.

 

Believe me, I understand this is a culturally accepted thing, and while I don't personally care since it doesn't affect/insult me personally, do you really think there's no one reading that who could be a homosexual that takes offense to it? I'm sure there is and while I generally like your posts (not that it matters), this strikes me as something that would, again, turn off potential posters and create a potential loss in ad revenue because of that. If this isn't an issue for anyone else and if its something that is just different as far as rules of conduct go on the BSMX vs. USMNT boards, then hey, I guess I'm just concerned about something stupid for no reason.

Anyway, I appreciate your response, thanks.

Look at you, still managing to deflect your obvious issues. Good for you, Sid. Way to be a big man.

 

What is this, some sort of, "Well, he started it!" argument on your part? I already addressed that post in the thread it was posted and I'm sure he'll get a yellow minimum, though I think it deserves a banning. Regardless, individual (non-mod) posters are easy to deal with and I already reported that post (as I'm sure others have), but when it comes to a mod getting out of line, like YOU, there has to be a different course of action apparently since you can't even account for yourself. Instead, you deflect from the issue and ask me to post Potowmack's post like that's relevant to this discussion?

Here's a hint: As a mod, when someone gets out of line, you give them a yellow/red/warning and respond to them how you should as a rep of this site. You don't engage them like some immature child. Deal with it how you should and be done with it.
