I think this is stupid. I've been to forums where the moderators were much more tyrannical than Aaron (hell, I never thought he was OTT, despite any jokes I made), and people there accepted it. What this comes down to is a split in the forum, between the PM and BM people and this little conflict reflected that. According to the rules, Aaron was right, and really, no-one should expect to be treated politely online. Still, what's done is done. I can't help but think, though, that Metal Reviews isn't the place it once was.
I think you're overanalyzing things. Especially considering you just—in another thread—asked for moderation. Unfortunately DM was a mod that got modded.
Remember when I just said in that other thread that when moderators start moderating, people start flipping out and calling the mods "Nazis" and whatnot?
"I can't help but think, though, that Metal Reviews isn't the place it once was."
You just proved my point.
