Now I'm definitely fed up with this kindergarten mentality of the people in charge here. I run a community forum myself, and moderate several (high traffic) others, and I've never seen such childish behavior by staff.

The only bans I ever did, were spammers and non-users (people posting crap or insulting without actually being part of the community). Critics are users too. Critics can be vocal, but proving your point or disagreement by wielding your power is not done. We've always solved things with discussion.

As some $DEITY$ fan once said, let those who are without sin throw the first stone. How some dare to nitpick on others behavior is below my norms.

And I'm equally fed up with the typical OS mentality that, if you raise a point, you better step in and help out. Well I already do more than my fair share in other projects, as much as my personal situation can handle.
