Let's not be too hard on Journal. He is actually giving his argument for this case, and all we do is talk about him without involving him in such discussions. Like I said, he has displayed proper judgment. We just feel it has rubbed us the wrong way.

You're damn right it's rubbed us the wrong way. He's acting like a pompous brat to people who were just trying to find out why he was closing random active threads like he has been doing, the exact opposite of how a responsible, charitable and caring Administrator should act. If all he's got is sarcastic quips and non-answers to people's responses to his behavior, then the way I see it, Journalistic is deserving of whatever negative response his actions incite in other Users, and since we run ourselves like a democracy and we try to hold our Administrators to account for their actions these people have every right to express these negative attitudes towards Journalistic's actions towards the man himself if they feel they have any legitimate complaints against him. If these complaints are illegitimate, then it should be quite easy for Journalistic to respond to and debunk them. He makes his case and tries to convince his detractors why he isn't in the wrong, he succeeds, then all is good -- we all go home and move on with our lives. But speaking for myself, I feel that Journalistic has yet to respond to the criticism he is receiving in a manner I find satisfactory, and there are several others on here who feel the same way as I do. Until I am giving a good reason to be more lenient towards Journalistic's actions, I'm going to respond as negatively to them as I damn well please. Can we go easy on the language? This whole thing started because of my stupid thread! And I made things worse by asking him why! I'm tired of hearing all this stuff being said about him because of what I did! Maybe he didn't have a legit reason to do what he did but we're attacking him like a pack of wild dogs! This isn't the proper behavior for any of us (admins or not.) We're supposed to have unity here. How can we call ourselves a commUNITY when we're not acting like one? We all make mistakes don't we? This was, short of Journalistic spontaneously reforming his behaviour, inevitable as far as I'm concerned, and honestly only a few users here are actually criticising him for his actions.
