Lets face it, you delete something and its the typical "Bob Hyatt" is a CCC dictator, or that this place is your own personal opinions forum. Quite frankly I would just delete the whole lot of crap, and handle it via email, and if they persist on posting about how you personally are moderating and ruining this forum, then delete that also. Good old Will Singleton did that once to me and a few others, he must have gotten rid of half the posts that day :) If they do not like what you are doing, they can always email steve to look into the matter if it comes to a stage where you, or any moderator seems out of control. Cause if it came to that stage I am sure Steve would get many emails and take action, not if he just got one from a person who is just out to cause trouble, then I am sure he would ignore it. Things have to happen in large numbers for action to be taken against a moderator as I see it. In my opinion you have been around long enough to know what people here act like, there are the ones who post good stuff, others who think they know allot about everything, and thus throw there words in everywhere. And the people who just love to attack you and anyone else who has made a name for themselves. Personally I play a few games against a computer, have a few programs that I play against each other when I have the time. Know nothing about chess program writing, and stick my two cents in, into topics that I think I have a little knowledge about, and only get into arguements when I think I am right. I think all the trouble makers think that they are genius's and writing the crap they do in some way makes them think that they are proving it to us all.
