I don't have the time to knock on everyone's door and point out the mess and I would probably become very unpopular if I tried which may have the opposite effect to what I was attempting to do.

Your analogy doesn't really fit, and that wasn't what I was doing. "Live and let die" is all well and good, I am a fan of that philosophy. The only thing I would have ever said about anything was politely asking that we tone down the pictures in the politics thread because it was bogging down my internet and becoming overwhelmingly distracting. Fink wasn't even an issue in that situation, he was great about it and took no offense.

What I did in this thread was not me telling someone I think they should behave more like me (i.e. knocking on the door and asking people to pick up liter), in this case someone was treating another forum member in a way that I felt was unjust, so I stood up. A more appropriate analogy might be me witnessing someone knocking on the door of another and telling them not to liter (make pointless redundant complaint posts) while mocking them (he can go VanDerBeek), and I run over to them and state that I find that behavior troubling.

Suggesting that I am chasing Fink around from thread to thread ragging on him makes you sound more than a little bit like crazy ol' Vaderisnohayden. If I were doing that I would be going into all those SOS threads and causing a fuss, but I am not because I really don't care about what goes on in them. But when I see a thread by Skyjedi, who I find interesting, and click on one of his threads only to find it instantaneously derailed because someone else deemed it irrelevant, that irritates me.  

In the other case, someone stated their opinion on things, and since I actually agreed with them I decided to say so.

I suppose the fact that I gave my honest opinion on fan edits which turned out to offend Fink can be used as further evidence that I am out to get him and "pushing my weight around".

As for "making voices about leaving", it wasn't a threat. I was having a bad day, I came to the forum to relax and found every single thread full of shit. It got to me, and I was seriously fed up with it all and was thinking about just giving it up. I didn't leave because I realized how many posters there are here who I really care about, and decided they were worth wading knee deep in shit to continue posting with (and yes, I include Fink in this).
