Default Request removal of "powers", abuse of them

Sorry to have to do this but Ursula is now threatening users for their opinions, and making wild threats against gnutella clients.
Being a representitive of Gnutellaforums this should be of concern to all moderators here.

http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=12591

"If this particular unregisterd 'braiser' wishes to carry on his crusade, there are several established clients which are ripe for the 'roasting'."
Threats?

"You are now tracked."
More threats? Should I worry about this anon unknown moderator trying to hack into my computer because they have my IP address and a personal grudge against me?

"Cool it with the negativity. I said 'please' the first time I asked you this....... there will be no repeat of that word."
More threats? So are negative opinions not allowed here anymore? And what besides editing/deleting my posts is next? DOS attacks against my IP?

"I will NOT except unfounded and unproven negative comments which blast away at another client, no matter what or whom that client may be."
Abuse of powers, and editing posts when it's unnecessary because it's against this moderators opinion, or just to show the "power position".

"Why, I am someone who out-ranks you here"
More abuse, show of "power". I didn't know there were "ranks" of users here, and am I on the bottom rank and have to obey this "commander"?

Yea, maybe I am a pain in the **** sometimes, and have strong opinions, and bring up strong controversy but I haven't violated any forum rules.

Even this message could be edited, deleted or modified so abuse of this type of power should be not allowed. Only level headed people should be given moderator powers.

Why was this person given "super moderator" powers when it shows this person has only been around here for a month now? What are the qualifications?

Power corrupts.
