But this isn't "anywhere else".
Look, I personally could give a two-shilling shit about this whole fruitless debate, but I am baffled why you continue to "rage against the machine" (following the Zach de la Rocha metaphor used earlier), when you are both overreacting and overreaching in your efforts? This isn't a government or religious organization - individual protest is fruitless. Forums like these are more akin in design to a deific creation model: we have the pocket universe created for us by the owner of the board, and he appoints his servants (the mods) to watch over his creation. You don't rebel against the maker. Unlike the rules extant to a government or religious group, you can be snuffed off here with a thought, and no one will carry on your struggle when you're gone, because what most people on these forums (or any forum like it) learn is that you play by the rules, or you go away. I've been on boards where the post-locking/deleting policy was "if I don't like it, I'm deleting it". I'm also surprised at what this board lets slip: this is one of the first privately run boards I've been on where you can quote a whole page of text from a previous post, and add one original sentence to the bottom and not get railed on for it. Believe me - this place is far from being totalitarian.
More to the point: Voices is a bit hardline and perhaps absolutist in his short patience span regarding rules violations, but what you seem to fail to grasp in this is the why of it. Being a mod on this board is certainly no power trip. It doesn't give great power, or substantial influence. Truth be told, being a mod here is damn insignificant in the greater existance that is battle.net, or the network of Blizzard games out there. So, be certain that people who are mods on this little dog and pony show are not doing it because they lust after the largess and glory that is theirs to reap by being able to lock an occasional post. Truth is, the mods here most likely only have one thing in common: a love for low level dueling, and a desire for this site to remain a non-polluted sanctuary for people who also share that love of low level dueling. They are harsh because they want this site to be successful, and success is measured not by content but by quality. If Voices is a hard-ass, and rough on newbies and screw-ups, it's probably because he wants this place to be as good as it can be for those who come to learn about lld'ing, and find a community to play it in.
You, on the other hand, seem to think past contributions give you carte blanche to mouth off whenever the mood strikes you. Hey - you know what? I think I may be the most quoted person on the site right now (I think I've seen things I've typed in four .sigs in the last two days), but you don't see me wearing it like a chip on my shoulder. (I did, however, have a t-shirt made commemorating the occasion.)

You know why that is?
Because you're damn funny and very articulate. 'Nuff said.

was. but i start caring less and less about it when i have people constantly second guessing and questioning my every foot step.
as for the quoting. it probably has something to do with the fact that you actually make sense when you talk, and you have a rare ability. the ability to understand more than your own point of view.

only thing about editing posts is that people will not go back into the useast forum if it doesnt show the darker color for new posts... or they will go into the useast forum and see that there are no new posts in your particular post

Ahhh, c'mon! Underneath that gruff and tactiurn exterior is a man, who... well.. has a funny haircut and probably drinks too much.
But underneath that is a guy that likes being able to say that due to his strict yet thankless dilligence there's at least *one* corner of the b.net related universe that isn't a total catastrophic clusterfuck. C'mere ya big lug! You know we appreciate your hard work. <gives Voices a friendly, yet masculine bear hug, then goes to watch football and hoot at women to reaffirm his otherwise undeniable heterosexuality.>
Actually, on the subject of "the way things are run", that puts me in mind of a suggestion I was ruminatin' on...

Wow. You're one timely mofo. Your ability to comment on the extremely non-relevant amazes me.
Why, I bet the other day you walked up to a Catholic guy and said "hey, you know what? That whole 'sun revolves around the Earth' thing? I'll bet you feel pretty dumb about that, huh?"
Hey Prodigy - you what's really cool? I hear they're making an expansion to Diablo 2! It's gonna deal with like the Lord of Destruction or something... they haven't said for sure yet. I hope that new game has like... two new classes , because it would be totally sweet to play a female ninja or something like that.
(I know this thread is like... two weeks old, which makes me a flaming hypocrite. But I'm okay with that. ]
