QS has probably been badgering the people who have just excluded Lauda for quite some time until they acquiesced to his demands.
I would invite hilariousandco to present evidence of this. Or perhaps, those that have been badgered can come forward with quotes of these PMs.
If he is unable or unwilling to do this, then hilariousandco should admit he was wrong, and apologize.
If he is unwilling to do any of this, then I would question if he uses these same standards when making moderation decisions. Does hilariousandco need to see a rule being broken (or even evidence thereof) before taking a negative moderation action against someone? Or does he merely need that person to say something he does not like?
