People jumped on the “Hate Dare U Wagon” pretty quick I’d say. This isn’t the military, that frame of mind doesn’t work in the public sector. He may be a good guy (great guy, straight up as you say), so that makes it okay for him to play favorites and abuse his rights as a mod on the site?
I follow yours and everyone else’s opinion of Mk4 in person. If he was a little more objective and used some more of his real life personality here, maybe people wouldn’t jump on the “hate on this guy wagon”. Regardless of his personality outside of this forum, his behavior and actions on this forum landed himself right where he is, the same as where my actions and behaviors have landed me.
