`  == You see... ==  ...I respect the rules; I think they are a necessary backbone in our society. Sure...there are times when one must chose to ignore them (for good reasons) but one should treat the rules as a backbone, a guideline of sorts.  But the rules are simply words and letters; what gives them importance is the way they are carried out. It is like, say, a football tournament: if there is blatant cheating, controversial circumstances without a doubt, and similar cases, then the competition would lose prestigue, importance, and it would matter little.  The rules are very much like that; in here, I was blocked for some BS. I will admit that I could have prevented the situation and acted better; however, it doesn't change the fact that some people here have blatant double-standards that I had to endure personally. And when the rules doesn't apply to everyone on a somewhat equal level, then the rules lose meaning, it becomes pointless, and it transforms into something I can wipe my ass with.  Where does that stem for? Giving the wrong people the wrong tools. I understand there are certain factions that are here solely to protect articles against vandalism (something I have done once or twice to test my theory out), but it seems the emphasis has changed: a great deal of the admin I interact do not try to protect articles, but seems to spend more time blocking users who are deemed ``unlikeable``, mostly because of difference of opinion (most of the time, it is nothing more than that. I have personally read a great deal of the admin's incident reports for this year).  So yeah...more or less. Plus, Digirami is a dumbass. I know he is getting pissed off (which I take great pleasure on), but mostly, I do it because he thinks he own the articles.`
