You're right. The site is not to blame. But rather ridiculous interferences like this from the staff. There certainly are better things to do than send me warnings for calling people fools as I will keep calling them fools just as much.
----------
It's not just that you've called people fools, you also went completely off topic in that thread. For what reason? And whether there are better things for us to do than manage the community and resources is our job to think about, not yours, unless you have constructive advice, which I have not seen so far.

I merely alerted people of my presence, in attempt to give at least some life to the terrainers who can't bother to participate in the contest since the low or perhaps even unexisting amount of challenge.
----------
And that's the way you went about it? Why didn't you state this in the thread? Or write anything that'd correspond with it? How are we going to interpret "fools" as "hey guys, I wish this had more life to it, I'm gonna join this, anyone up for some challenge?". There's a way to convey the same message, in a way that's easier to read and moderate, if you get the actual message across.
----------
I'm curious whether I'm considered some sort of a rebel for not abiding to every rule like I never have.
They're more like guidelines really. Not to mention, I can complain about anything I feel like to people who I don't bug off with my presence without someone coping around in my affairs.
----------
It's not because you're a "rebel" and "not like everyone else", but rather that the rules are there for a good reason. In a way, disrespecting the rules all the time means you actually disrespect this community and the staff, because it's built upon those rules. It's gone a long way from pre-wc3sear.ch merge days to what it is now, and there have been people like you all along.
If you disrespect this community, you can't ask for respect and nice treatment back. But you're getting it anyway, because people are, in fact, too tired to really deal with the annoying stuff that you do. You go ham about receiving a WARNING, but in reality, a warning is nothing, it's just a reminder to follow the rules. Unfortunately, and I wish this were not the case, that just shows how childish you are.
I don't think you realize there are people who moderate this site. Yes, that's right, we exist. And along with all the stuff we have to go through every time to create a better community, we also have to deal with your posts. They are getting reported pretty often, people are displeased with what you're writing, they just don't confront you directly because they hope we'll be the ones to do it. And even then, we don't ban you or anything, we just remind you to follow the rules, almost as if saying "please".
So if not for yourself and even the community, could you at least try to make lives easier for us on the staff? We all have to compromise to help keep all sides equally happy, and it'd be wonderful if you did your part too.
Thank you in advance.
