Heh..as to the later I have no clue. But you do seem to be more friendly to him than I.
No you're not missing anything. That is why I said they are two different aspects.
Let me try a real life example:
The news networks. I definitely don't respect them. However, they are my only source of info. They have the entire story but often withhold information about it and show only the sides that get the highest ratings (funny how I could find an example that involved ratings). Each station is different and has a slightly different story. To get an accurate story I need to listen to them all and pick parts that are similar.
Unlike posters here, they are obligated to tell me the truth to stay in business. Though, the parts of the truth they want to add/leave out is their choice. Assuming BT was the truthful network was my fault.
Asking me to believe just because you're an admin isn't good enough after witnessing some of the admin responses on the first page. Insults and threats from an admin make me want to not trust admins even more. At least with BT I can expect insults because he is not obligated to respect posters (painfully obvious). How can I trust someone who has a moderator position and is hurling insults at me? Heck, how can I respect one that is?
Anyhow, all your questions are asking me to pull teeth and I am doing so as my rating is showing. The painful irony is that this is how corrupted the karma system can be sitting right in a thread about the topic yet is still not being taken serious.
