I'm just gonna post my short two cents on the subject, since this thread will probably be locked soon. I'd PM an admin, but I don't think there's anything they can say that will fix my measly issue.
The fact is, BT was never PMed by an admin regarding any of these issues. All of the "warnings" were in threads that were already heated. Kaolian could have handled the situation a bit more professionally by actually taking the high road first (as the person in charge, this was his obligation in the end) and brought the issues to PMs. Instead, after Senjiow PMed his complaints, an admin (assuming DF or Kao) told him to go waaahh in the feedback forums. This is not a professional way to handle any serious personality conflicts. I just think, if the Admins had begun the cordiality by starting a PM conversation with the posters they were having a problem with, it would have been a much more mature situation. As it stands, they got what they asked for/wanted and shouldn't act like BT and Mindel acted any way other than what they expected/hoped.
This isn't about "BT didn't know there were problems!!", but the issues were never taken seriously by any admins, at least not serious enough to warrant a formal complaint to his PMs. I just wish that anyone policing the forums will maybe take into consideration the fact that the PM system should be used to handle these situations, and ********** can be avoided.
