I am mod :)

And I don't think saying 'Don't be a jerk' is ban-worthy. The other 
words (which yes, I was thinking) are. But I really can't think of 
another way to get the point across of how mean that is. I could very 
easily argue that what Stuart is asking for is theft. Given the context, 
I wouldn't even flinch if I saw that in the forums.

If you think I should be castigated for saying jerk, well, I disagree 
that it's 'that bad' of a name to call someone. You can't completely 
neuter people's languages and expect them to still be able to express 
exactly how wrong something is. There's a time and a place for strong 
language, and talking about ripping off someone's livelihood is it.
