awww, muffin

Well, I must say that actions speak louder than words, but honestly, refusing to sit on the back of the bus isn't like blowing up a building. It says that that person refuses to be rated second class. I can just as easily say that in words. "I refuse to be treated as a second class citizen". Done and done. And its just as easily done as refusing to be bullied away from a forum. You can just as easily refuse to pay attention to the message that refusing to sit at the back of the bus carries, as you can refuse to listen to what someone else says.
And if you're going to say that there ARE other actions, like blowing things up, just think about the negative response people get from violent actions. But if you want to go negatively, there's hacking and such to prove points, taking away power from those who are in it.
If Synth is making this site so that people can enjoy themselves, he'd listen to what others say so he can attain this goal. Why on earth would someone not listen to what people say about their work, their baby?

A point of view is factual. Subjective, but factual.

Well, if people listened to Laharl, then he's got power over them by making them see his side of the issue, making the issue stop. That's my point, that listening to people empowers them, and we agree with that, as you said. IF mods don't do anything, then the power we all have is in communication. By listening to people, where the majority stands can change. The majority isn't static, but it will automatically be so if a minority never says anything. You, however, by apparently not choosing to listen to some people, and assuming that people are the same as you, in that they probably won't bother listening to someone, then yes, power is only in the hands of moderators, and yes, the current majority will always rule. A lot of what you say is true, but I don't like it and don't support it, and I obviously also think that what I'm saying is true.

If someone is addressing you, putting information in front of you, then I think we all have a responsibility to listen to them. To do otherwise is just not nice. :-p

Hacking or DoSing this website would be the fast track to getting banned.

Also, people listening to what Laharl has to say isn't going to make the issue stop, as has already been demonstrated through people reading his posts and, well, not stopping.

That's not entirely true. I've made amends with quite a few people over AIM in the past few days, and oddly enough, they were the ones to message me first.

There's still a lot of morons, sure, but that's to be figured when you're dealing with a site of one million accounts of people mostly between the ages of 13 and 17.

True kilga, even though apparently some amends have been made.
Listening depends on interpretation too.
