However, I would like to remind you of a few things:
1) I very much dislike personal insults against other forum members. If you can't post with courtesy, don't post at all.
2) Words most certainly can hurt people. Smashing your fist into someone's face will leave them sore and bruised for a short time. If you find the right words though, you can hurt someone for a lifetime.
3) I may not be a "mod" but I still wield a banhammer and I am not afraid to use it.
4) Ken has shown a heck of a lot more maturity than the people bashing him, despite their superior ages. That speaks volumes, I say.
Rov will be Rov. I will be me.

1: Its not personal when its me. Its just the way I treat everyone.
2: A word is simply a conveyance of a thought. A means to communicate. If my opinion really matters that much to the people I insult, they need to go out and find some friends, in real life. Because I have no idea who in hell they are. If I did, I just might convey my thoughts with fists instead. Its not as fun to hurt with words, simply because of my belief that a word has no power unless the listener allows it.
3: Shouldn't my willingness to speak frankly with someone who can ban me in a heartbeat be refreshing, instead of forcing you to point out that you do heft the banhammer?
4: I've seen no maturity from him. I've seen him whine and complain how everyone makes of him. I've seen him drag religion into a conversation over what was harmless teasing (which was in fact, bigotry. Discrimination of gay people.). And, I've never once seen him acknowledge when he's wrong (which is a staggering amount of the time). These are very evident signs of not being mature.
