in a way i respect an admin who's not such a push over and does everything we request. It's his forums so he does have jurisdiction on what he wants to implement. Some thing, yeah, get frustrating but overall im not that unhappy with his administration.
I'm not unhappy either, I made like, what, two comments then the whole freakin panel flipped out and starting flaming with "You insulted me" which none of them have yet to provide any concrete examples of me insulting anyone directly.
Despite this or that I still will have respect for any mod or admin. You may disagree with someone, but you should still respect them for what and who they are. Which I do, and I've said that on more then one occasion.
