I dont know about the rest of you, but if I were a new member to a forum, and a member of the staff called me that, I probably wouldnt wanna stay too long...

I believe it's even ban worthy to a point. But the current Staff (HMW at least) aren't a bunch of easily butthurt crybabies, so it's a moot point.

I'm sorry officer, I know I was speeding but there was no one on the road, so your statement that I was breaking the rules is a moot point.
Please

The basic unwritten rule then was "they're right, you're wrong, shut up about it or be banned".
Trust me, that attitude has changed over the years.
Respect is after all, earnt, not given because of a title.
