Something these forums could REALLY use is... [edit/delete]

You would be the only person having that problem (that I know of).
I just hit the Preview button. Nothing wrong.
Sometimes I look over mispelled words or improperly stated comments, even when I preview and re-read them.
PERSONALLY, if the Admins have such a HYOOOOJ problem with giving people the ability to edit , then that's their business. They just can't trust us. No fucking biggy. I don't trust them as far as I could throw them. My custom title is my fucking proof. The only one I trusted was Phade, because you could ALWAYS depend on him to do what was the most uncontraversial (is that the proper prefix?) option.

Yes I'm sure, preview and submit do the exact same thing with me...not sure why that is. Maybe its a browser problem I dunno, but it happens believe me.

... wait, you only trust Phade, because he could be counted on to have no backbone?

Oh, and what about that off topic thing? That was Phade.

Ya, but he did that with a real purpose. He was MORE than justified. I busted his chops about it a wee by making joke threads afterwords about it, but I never really comaplained about its loss. I knew enough to know that Phade only makes decisions based off of what he thought was right for the people on this site.
You fuckassed admins just go around throwing your "power" around. Rather than show us that you are trustworthy, reliable, or even capable, you choose to show us that you are having a damned power-trip. You don't care about the people on this forum. All you care about it "HUUURRR, I CAN DO STUFF OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T. SEE???"
The current admins are just a damned waste of time. A provisional government created after the rather involuntary absence of the original "leader" (he didn't lead though, he merely kept order, which is by FAR more than what I can say for you dickasses).
Phade, in truth, was for the most part VERY fair and VERY modest about how he ran this site. I appreciated it. You cock knockers make yourselves out to be a gestapo of immaturity.
FURTHERMORE, you TRIED to shift your faults of character onto Phade, who A) Made this site B) PROBABLY gave you the status of admin and C) Isn't here to respond to it.
You're a real fucking man among men, dickshit.

You argued Phade only did things that were uncontroversial. I offered a counter-example.

I knew enough to know that Phade only makes decisions based off of what he thought was right for the people on this site.

Odd, a second ago you argued he only made uncontroversial decisions.

You don't care about the people on this forum.

Which is why we've done things like bring back the search by anime & musical artist, cleaned up various pages, went through over 1200 video deletion requests, went through, and have been going through the anime database to clean that up, etc.

FURTHERMORE, you TRIED to shift your faults of character onto Phade,

When have we blamed Phade for anything that is our fault?

C) Isn't here to respond to it.

Phade is everywhere, and yet nowhere; somewhat like a archmage of correspondence.

Now you're just trying to cloud your lack of an intelligent answer with snottiness. Good job.
"Uncontraversial" was a bad word to use. I should have used justified. Phade always had a good reason to make the changes he made. You guys see making change as a way to show off your status.
It doesn't matter anymore (to me anyways). I have expressed my disgust for the current forum administration. I don't need to discuss it anymore. All you guys can do is react, not respond. It's a sign of weakness.

Perhaps you missed the rebuttal of your assertion that we don't care about the people here? Or of your assertion that phade only made uncontroversial decisions (your bad word choice can hardly be blamed on me). On the other hand, I note:

You have asserted that the current administration does not care about the users here. On this assertion, you have provided no evidence. Despite that, I have provided evidence in rebuttal.
You have asserted that the current administration is "a gestapo of immaturity." You have provided no evidence for this disparaging assertion. Due to the non-clarity of that statement, it is not possible to rebut it (but none is needed, as no evidence was provided).
You have asserted that the currrent administration (or possibly just me) has "TRIED to shift [its] faults of character onto Phade." You have provided no evidence for either part of this claim: Neither any examples of faults of character nor any examples of blaiming Phade. As it is impossible to prove a negative, I am unable to rebut this; however, as no evidence is provided, I need not.
You have asserted, or at least implied, that the current administration uses its power arbitrarily and without reason. You have provided no examples of this to back your assertion.

All you guys can do is react, not respond. It's a sign of weakness.

m-w.com defines "respond" as "to react in response <responded to a call for help> b : to show favorable reaction <respond to surgery>." Without you providing clear definitions of both react and respond this statement is vacuous and thus can neither be considered an argument nor rationally rebutted.
