@ krellin - I can't see your posts, and I could unmute you to read them, but I really just want to say this, so I won't bother. I gather you're objecting to the idea that abgemacht is encouraging others to mute you. Well, frankly, if you want people not to mute you, you maybe you shouldn't be such an asshole all the time. I don't mute people who are occasionally rude, or sometimes say things I find objectionable, but I don't think I recall a single instance where I read a post you wrote that wasn't full of venom, hatred and condescension. Reading your posts makes me angry, and genuinely does make me enjoy this website less. And as to abgemacht being a hypocrite, I don't think so. Obviously he understands that you make me enjoy the forum less, and so encourages me in that case, to mute you so I can enjoy the forum more. However he does not feel the same way, I guess, and finds some value in your posts that is not worth what he would miss by muting you. What he's done here, is set aside his own thoughts and feelings, and considered the situation from my point of view, and come to a reasonable conclusion. That he is capable of this does not make him a hypocrite. I was going to say that it surprises me that you seem to have so much trouble with this concept, but really it doesn't actually surprise me at all. It kind of explains a lot.
