Very Archie Bunkerish. If a moderator does something unreasonable, then a reasonable person may complain on the forum (I never said never). But first, a reasonable person would send an Email to all of the moderators in order to get an appeal if justified. If denied, only then would a reasonable person consider complaining about the moderators on the forum (and even then, it is probably not a reasonable action in most circumstances). This person did not do that. This person did not post a reasonable post in the first place (and especially in the second place). And now this person indicates how hard it is to not use four letter words in a moderated forum (boo hoo, poor me, the moderators are so mean to me that I may not be able to control myself). Quite frankly, I would not lose any sleep if this person just went away quietly. What is so "Archie Bunkerish" about that position? I have never claimed that people may not be justified in complaining about moderation. But I do claim that it is rare that people are justified in complaining (it is a moderated forum after all, people should learn to live with their agreement when they signed up). >> >>PS.

Can you beat Crafty on a regular basis? > >So, "lousy" comments are to be deleted? That's pathetic. Where did I say that? I said saying that something is lousy when it obviously is not, is lousy. I made no comments about any deletion of any posts. Try not to add spins on my comments. Regards, KarinsDad :)
