that’s not what’s in ota’s note above (edit: or Johnny’s note either). this seems entirely about cuse.
you can’t ignore a mod (lol at cuse still being a mod btw, but that’s a different issue i guess).
but more importantly, can you really not see why the “no dick” rule of common courtesy might not be extended to this one guy in this one situation considering what he’s directly responsible for in the forum?
