How about respecting him because he has the power to lock this thread and not give us any second chances?
... Ew. In a perfect world, someone would be on the staff because they have the personality to handle a situation in the proper way that would make the greatest number of people happy without upsetting any delicate social ecosystem. Alas, such a way of life is not yet the way of things, so we have to resort to the "put up or shut up" method sometimes. If that's the way it has to be for any particular case, it might put out a fire, but it doesn't stop the fuse from growing short.

I for one, want to discuss ponies. If we spend this valuable pony-discussing time complaining about an admin, we might never be able to discuss ponies here again. And that would just suck. So let's drop it and get back on topic, hey?
But speaking as a person who greatly enjoys the series, as well as the discussion, and not as a staff type person, I do rather enjoy the metaphysics of this particular notion.

Pretty decent troll The Satellite, 6/10 Hope you're feeling proud of yourself!

Eh, it was a self-contained post. Pretty much the whole post has been said before, and it doesn't appear to have done anything, because it doesn't actually touch people the way it wants to. It's just words, relative to our own innate desires for the show that is loved.

Pokemonmaster64: I don't really think it's such a big deal to justify a topic split. I just want it clear if people are going to post spoilers in here or not so I can know if I should stay away from it.
Perhaps there ought to be some sort of rule set forth that everyone can agree on? I would rather see this arbitrated and then moderated than get out of hand. Yes, it's so much easier to just say "get the hell over it" but honestly I'm sure absolutely nobody actually
wants to be that kind of an arse to anyone.
Any suggestions? Is continuing as people are, doing any good right now? If not, then suggestions would be in order.
Of course, that's not to say that people can't find solutions for themselves that don't interfere with anyone else. Anyone is free to do so on their own.
