Do I respect Tybalt? Yes and no. I do respect him for the amount of

time 

he puts into moderating. But I think he moderates too much. Some

threads 

are, believe it or not, really quite useful. And how many people

actually 

take a banned thread to private e-mail? Who knows what great ideas

would 

have been released into the world if Tybalt didn't ban threads. 

I have to agree here, as well.  Although the majority of it is less
than useful, I have seen the occasional thread or two that has truly
inspired me; likewise, talking to others on this, there have been some
lines that would have grown to become some excellent ideas, possibly
stories or plotlines had they not been shut down.  Extrapolation
threads, like any idea, need to run their course...of course, it's up
to all of us to take the crap to private mail.
 

Anyhow, since Tybalt is gone for the next few weeks, this is the

ideal 

time to insult, er, I mean explain how you feel about him and his 
moderation. Do you think he needs to improve, or do you think he's

doing 

just fine the way it is? And, while you are at it, come up with

some, er, 

creative names for Tybalt. Of course, this does all boil down to

who's 

the better moderator: White Wolf or Tybalt. (Gosh, I wonder who is

going 

to win...) 

I place my bets on Bill the Cat >_<
Seriously, though, I do think he's doing a great job (it's certainly
one that I wouldn't want), but i think he needs to occasionally lax up
on the idea or two, because it could just stifle a possible trigger
that could be the next FFML-rocker that everyone's waiting to read.
Once again, though, in the end, it could be very well what he's doing
now; no one knows what lurks in the mind of Tybalt except for him.  He
just, to paraphrase his own quote, needs to endure the occasional
villany that goes on around here.
