Hell Benton is a J/N mod and has drastically reduced his posts in this forum and IMO the forum is worse off for it.

One cannot expect to be taken seriously as an unbiased moderator when that person continues to show their bias.

Given you are one of the more even-keel posters in this forum, but you are not above slanting to one side and it has been shown on more than 1 occasion.

As to the "mind reading" on my part. Here is the definition of Snarky:

In the future if you wish to be considered humorous use humor. Sorta like the "not getting out of life alive" bit.

The mod should be unbiased in how they apply the rules, but one cannot expect anyone to not show some political leanings in their posts. That's silly. If Matt started deleting posts or threads that were pro Mike Huckabee while keeping those that attacked him, that would be grounds to question whether or not he should be a mod.

Matt only spoke from a position of science and history. You stated numerous times that you agreed with everything he was saying. Considering this, how could his response to when you said "unless the definition changes" be seen as belittling you? Since you seem to be in complete agreement with him and, from your responses to him explaining the history of how mental illnesses were viewed, understand what life was like for those considered mentally ill, his response should have been as amusing to you as it was to him.

Why did you take it so personally? You don't believe that deviant behaviors should be returned to the list of mental illnesses, right?
