People need to start taking care of themselves anyhow. If he is involved in a thread (same for the other moderators) and feel he now can't delete something in it, then good. It completely baffles me that people think that this place should be some sort of perfect world in here, and that there should be no conflict, and no insults whatsoever. Everything should be peachy all the time, is that it? I don't think so. People have to stand up, take a stand, protect yourself, protect others. Why should the moderator do your work for you? I don't want the moderator doing the work for me. I don't want the moderator deleting a post before I get a chance to read it, and I also don't want him having any say about what I should be able to read or post here. It sounds to me like you want the moderators to not be involved so that they will be free to take things away from you. But I want moderators not to moderate as much. I'm sick & tired of this place being one big padded cell. The place more or less proves that the moderated forum concept doesn't work all that well. Pete
