Ah, so you "don't give two shits about GB", but had the urge to comment on the thread and criticize BAS....gotcha. I think what BAS did was great, and I think a lot of people feel the same way as he does. The difference is he has to deal with all the complaints about it, so it's even worse for him than the posters. GB had been polluting the site, especially in the last couple days, and stirring shit with a lot of posters. I can't blame BAS for calling him out on it after so many people have stopped/slowed down posting because of the guy.
BAS is allowed to express any opinion he wants to. Just because he is a moderator doesn't mean that he can't express his views. It's his call, not yours.
I think GB can be a good poster who doesn't turn away other posters/hurt the site if he just sticks to capping and not the weird shit he does.
