That moderator respect rule hasn't been enforced on anyone calling Phobia a douche, dildo, or whatever else they're saying. Let's not put Phil on the cross. He may not like Hootie, but he handles the abuse with some dignity. And he's not abusing his powers on everyone talking shit to him. Just sayin...

BTW, I agree that this isn't a democracy if AustinChief decides he wants to do something. But it really was more democratic in the past than it's become. The fact that you make announcements like this now show how much things have changed (for the worse).
What's the moderator respect rule for? You should earn your respect not dictate it. What purpose does it serve except that it can be a fig leaf for banning someone who gets on a moderator's nerves? It would still be a bad change for CP if we had moderators who stayed above the fray and behaved professionally at all times, but we have moderators like you and Phobia who are plenty willing to get down in the mud with people.
