Clearly you have some enemies Game. Even though this poll is sullied, I voted No because although I feel you have some qualities that are in line with being a moderator or an admin., I think you also have a unusual understanding of bias and close-mindedness. For example, this post :

It wasn't supposed to be serious anyways, I made it as a joke because I am wildly unpopular right now and probably forever, not to mention I am here in the prison. I just thought that would be really funny, unfortunately people took it as a serious opportunity to just be rude. My understanding of bias and closed mindedness is not what has been projected. If being biased means that you have firm beliefs and you stick by them than sure I am. But when it comes to hearing others beliefs or biases as their called when coming from me, I am totally open. Just because I reassert my stance does not mean I have not heard or do not consider what someone else had to say. Most of the time I try to simply explain my beliefs but like I said, no one wants to hear my beliefs, they just want me to hear theirs and let them go unopposed so that they are right. It's not even about who's right or who's wrong as far as I am concerned. It's about people being able to share their views fairly and without fear of being ridiculed for them.
The thread you posted there was horrible. That was the kind of thing I have a problem with and what I wrote was dead on for the topic. It didn't matter what Twist tried to say it was childishly turned against him with accusations, name calling, and blatant disrespect and false assumption about the person because of what they professed they believe in or don't. I am always going to stick up for the guy getting rheemed, and try to come to their aide some way. In that case it was letting the guy know he was defeated before he even spoke.
Then, when I try to be the bigger person, let everyone else be right, and walk away then it's just me getting owned on the forums, rather than anyone seeing it as maybe being someone who isn't trying to argue with a group who doesn't want to hear it anyways. Even with you, eventually it was nothing but a futile effort, I bend and try to compromise but no one wants to meet on middle ground or come to some agreeable compromise, I just have to be wrong because I am defending religion or god or I don't defend gays, abortion, or something else in that arena.
you seem to be of the opinion that if someone disagrees with a religious persons view on God for example, they must hate God and your beliefs.
I can understand how it may seem that way, but that's not the case. I judge by what people give me to judge. If I see people constantly degrading and attacking God or religious views what am I to assume? That they love God and they just defy him and any religion for fun? When I see people refusing the idea of I.D. solely because it has anything to do with God, and abortion because some radical Christians are against it, or you calling God worse than any tyrant and people just taking their hats off to you for it, and the championing of homosexuality mostly because Christianity disagrees with it, what else would you call it? Especially when it is done in a hateful, accusatory, attacking fashion that I have seen it.
It appears to me that people hate God and hate religion because it forces you to recognize that there is a God, That means as a human you answer to that higher authority which means if half of what God has said is true, than a lot of people are leading a life undesirable to God and must answer for that and who wants to answer to God?
It comes down to people having an authority complex and since God is the ultimate authority, who else gets the heat? His supporters. That's what it seems like from my side of the aisle. People say "No that's not why" but continually attack God and Religion while saying they are doing otherwise.
Neutrality and fairness are a big requirement of being a moderator or admin., and I don't know if you have that at this point. Then again, I think there are also people right now who are moderators that don't fulfill this criteria either, so who knows. Either way, not using this as an excuse to point out what I perceive to be your flaws Game, but that's how I see it.
I do have that, sometimes people force the hand though and that is apart of being fair. Just like this. I forced the higher ups to punish me and so they did, I might not like it, I certainly don't thinks it's right, but it is fair. I may have even got a little bit of preferential treatment in not being banned. The only time I stop being fair is when I see others being unfair, then I give them a little taste of their own medicine. In handling other peoples issues I am the most fair person there is, no matter if I like or dislike a person or what they believe. If you can to me as an admin and told me so and so were flaming you I would check it out and if they were than ok, their would be a consequence, but if you drug someone into it by being rather rude yourself, I would do nothing. That is fair, that is neutral.
