Administration, punishing people and then being offended that people get pissed off at you is sort of stupid.

I've fired about ten people in my career. Probably about half of them were pretty pissed off about it. I wasn't surprised because uh, I just fired them.

When I was a VIP at Dio's I maybe deleted a dozen or so threads. Half of them resulted in people being pissed off. That's *expected* as an administrator.

If you can't handle it with a smile and your only answer is to make yourself look bad then maybe you're in the wrong field. Hell, I got thrown off the Dio's VIP team and guess what? Life moves on.

Sorry you don't get a free pass to be in a position of authority and not act like it.
