Your a moderator, then it is time to kick butt, delete the whole thread and go
stand in the corner and tell everyone who asks, that you did not do it :)

I would if I told them to stop a thread and then they started having a go at me
as to the rights and wrongs of letting a thread go, delete the whole thing,
cause I usually read them as mostly personal attacks on the moderator.

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.
