Am I the one who's wrong?

[Lea Verou]

I'm really pissed off at the moment
Let's take it from the beginning...
I happen to be a member in one of the largest greek communities (perhaps the largest).
I found another site that had stolen some graphics from them that I knew the admin of the site had made them himself so I sent him a pm to report it.
He told me to create a thread in the Site Commenting forum he had so that the public knows about it and make a fool of themselves (the site that stole the graphics).
The thread didn't go this way as most members started moaning that it was pointless and "so what if they stole some graphics?".
So today a super moderator of the site closed the thread with a quote of a member that said it was pointless.
I had never mentioned my little pm conversation with that admin in the thread, as I think the opposite wouldn't be right for him.
I happened to have that super mod in my msn contact list so when he went online I talked to him about that and told him that the admin had advised me to make the thread. He was really rude and told me that the admin had told me so to get rid of me! I asked him what would be the reason to get rid of me as if he just replied with an ok (or didn't reply at all) I wouldn't bother him again. He just kept on being rude and at the end told me he too wanted to get rid of me and blocked me. :ermm:
I have sent a pm to the admin telling him the whole story but I'm almost certain that he wont reply, or he will reply telling me some stupid reason of why his mod did the right thing.

And I'm asking... Am I the wrong one? The whole situation just seems so... unethical to me...
Am I wrong? :ermm:

if you own the copyrigh to those graphical works then u have every right. if someone stole some stuff from my site i wouldnt hold a public thread about it because its none of the business or their decision. its between u and that site's admin and no one else not even their staff. if you want them remove, they should be removed. he even acknowledges their yours for christ sakes. just contact his host and tell them he wont remove pirated material. his host will most likely contact him and threaten to suspend his account.

No no no, you understood a totally different thing!! (probably cause of my bad english )
I found ANOTHER site that had stolen graphics from THAT site. None of MY grapchics or my site were involved. I just tried to help that admin as I appreciated his work and in a same situation I would want somebody to inform me. This has nothing to do with my site!

oh then disregard my post above but yes that is very admirable thing to do and its sort of rude to shrug you off like that. but after the community decided they didnt care, obviously the admin didnt, i guess they found a nuisance as they did not see it as a problem. dont feel bad though you did the right thing. i wish someone would do that for me if the situation ever arose.

You did the right thing and was trying to be nice. Seems that being nice these days doesnt get people very far. I would quit visiting that community. You did the right thing.

Thank you AN-Net and Corriewf
Urgh, that's why I hate Greece You try to help someone and they swear at you

I had quitted visiting that community some time ago because of a fight I had with some members but I recently started visiting it again as I decided I wouldn't quit because of some stupid members. However if that admin doesn't reply to me or isn't nice at his reply I will quit visiting it for ever.

If you are as hot as many other Greek ladies.....I will be nice to you.

Amen.

My attitude has changed a lot over the last year or so, after realising that very same thing.

Especially in regards of customer service....

You did the right thing. Some people are just jerks. Don't let them bother you or doubt your own intentions.
