In the last several posts you have (probably not meaning to) questioned almost everything we have been doing. I take no offense, but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why Bruce or any moderator might. I think you probably did not mean any of this, but looking over them I see you asking questions like "did we question the other moderators decisions", "when will our term be up", "why are we making decisions instead of having the whole newsgrop vote on everthing" and so on. We would have to be pretty thick skinned not to notice all these things. Can you see how this might be interpreted as criticism? You also implied that we would simply punish you if you spoke up. So what is up with this? Is there something on your mind? The thing that is incredibly annoying to me is the whole tone of parnoid mistrust. I cannot understand why anyone would not trust any of us. I find the other 2 very intelligent and very reasonable. Also, I am wondering about this exchange which I can make no sense out of: Bob Hyatt: >He can be >interesting when he wants to be (and maddening when he wants to be also, >of course). Hopefully more of the former than the latter now... YOU: I don't subscribe to the equation that if somebody posts *also* on topic, he has any more rights to attack others than somebody who posts *nothing* on topic. I hope that this is not what you intended to say. What does Bob's statement have to do with your reply? - Don
