I used to think Vegan was a total prick and disagreed with about 90% of what he thinks about skating. I don't mind him now because I realize it takes a village of pricks to really have a messageboard.
Having said that, I think Shawn uses his Mod deletion finger a bit too quickly because of some power trip. Don't front...you'd have one too if you could delete some of these threads. I'd delete about 3/4 of them.
But just like a police officer abuses his power and wallows around in it like some kind of pig, so will Mods wallow in power and abuse it if they feel a lack of control in other portions of their lives.
At least, that's my experience with people who really get off on being in some kind of power position, regardless of how mediocre or insignificant it may be.
I mean, fuck...look at security guards. Absolutely no real power yet they're the biggest pricks with the most to say. And they always have to get the last word in. I fucking hate security guards.
I don't mind vegan, really. I don't agree with most of his opinions and I feel he has a chip on his shoulder when it comes to casual debate, but I can't hold it against the guy. It's obvious he knows skateboarding...just not the kind that I'm a fan of. That's just my 2 cents.
