The moderators have finally decided to do some public moderation, and have found just the right timing, place, target and tone for this. I think you did a bad job at moderating this. By CCC standards, this was not that bad, we've seen much worse. You could have aborted it before it reached its peak, and without stepping on too many toes. I told you in email: "To every action there's an equal and opposite reaction". When Bob went into high gear, I was silent for a while, and you chose to keep your silence. In these circumstances, it was to be expected that others like Christophe would jump in, and indeed Christophe has since been busy explaining that he's not Muhammad Ali and was just responding to intense and unanswered provocation. If not Christophe, there would have been someone else (there were others in fact). I think you made errors in applying the rules too, like the claim that no offenses to the charter took place does not seem correct to me, and I'm still amazed at your ruling that the falsified quote is not an offense. If at least you had bent the rules to keep peace and harmony, this may have been understood. As it is, you achieved neither. And you are now busy fighting off accusations of favoritism (which did not come from me). >[snip] >> >>At this occasion I complained to the moderators, since I thought this is >>definitely OUT.

I'm starting to get the idea that the real injured party here are the moderators. Understand this: Being a CCC moderator means being able to take heat. I was a moderator in a period much more difficult than the present, and I've never had a job where I had to take so much abuse from so many angles. It's part of the job, and you are supposed to keep a business-like, even friendly, tone at all times. Your "can you spell hyprocrite ?", I'm not sure who it is directed against (me ? but it seems directed at a whole crowd), but wins my award of Worst Public Performance by a CCC Moderator. Look, when I ask if you are on vacation, I'm using the lightest and friendliest tone I can think of to express my frustration at your absence. If you found that offensive then: 1. I apologize. 2. Consider quitting, as this job may not be for you. >> >>One of the moderators suggested that I take what Bob says with a grain of salt. >>Duh. > >I guess you only read what you wanted to read out of my Email.
