The first couple weeks you came back you were perfectly fine, you were friendly and often willing to let minor things slide. However, throughout the past couple of weeks you have gained a very smug and narcissistic attitude which needs to be addressed. Dismissing someones opinions as wrong is a definitive sign that you are not prepared for this position and you can't accept criticism.
I've been taking and accepting criticism since I've come back. I never dismissed his opinion, I simply said I believed his opinion to be wrong because ultimately he's coming from a place of bias considering I banned him and he's got a grudge. He's now forum banned because even he cannot take criticism such as he needs to follow the rules. I even told people I knew that you guys were going to hate me when I started punishing them which seems to be the case now.
There's a nice quote here that would fit nicely here though:
"Don't take criticism from people you wouldn't ever go to for advice"
Off topic but I never understood why people believe they should take all criticism thrown at them, whether it come from a place of actually wanting to help someone become better or from a place of no intent to help someone better themselves. Not all criticism should be taken to heart. There's such a thing as constructive criticism.
Not entirely sure if you realize this, but you've just wholeheartedly proved my point. It doesn't matter whether or not you "want advice" from someone that's giving you criticism. There's your narcissism setting in again, and you downright refuse to accept any sort of suggestions on things you can work on unless you respect the person. I don't care who the fuck gives me criticism, I'll look at it as a positive way to improve upon myself and my character. Judging by your response, this comes as a personal attack to your already vain and egotistical look on yourself.
