Look if it was a "joke," then I apologise but if people don't give any indignation that they are joking on the Internet, how am I to know this?
I will defend my friend til the end of the earth - it's who I am. If I get infracted, so be it. but it's who I am. if it was a joke I truly apologise. It honestly came across like the people in question were nitpicking and the mods on BL do an incredible job. Think about it? Not only do they have to update any thread that gets to 1000 posts but they have to check reports, the staff forums, read through the whole of the sub-forum - so if they make a few errors please try to give them a bit of leeway. If you really have an issue, why not PM them? Think how you (you, meaning everyone) would feel if you were so publicly criticised, especially if you have other stuff going on - as some of the mods have already pointed out to you, in various posts.
If speaking my mind and defending a friend makes me toxic, then I'm toxic. But this is me. I've grown up this way, I always defend family and I think of close friends the same way.
Right said enough - gna check the fishfingers 've cooking....
Take care,
