First - you cannot suspect of anyone usung alcohol when you all see is plain text message posted here on this forum. Last time I checked, the internet does not convey redshot eyes, slur speech, unsteady balance, blood tests etc. To say "suspect" is not a logical conclusion from the evidence that is available to you. The poster that you made referenced to, wrote to the moderators through the proper complaint channel (e-mail) and complained about your post. The poster you suspected of using alcohol does not drink alcolhol at all. So your "personal unfounded attack" was not simply a "only in the minds(sic) of the moderator" . If you do have a complaint about a post, please use the proper channels. We simply do not have time nor the desire to read every post. FYI, I was not the moderator that deleted your post - but all three of the moderators were on the same page - your post was deleted for all the correct reasons. We can take this to private e-mail if you wish to discuss further, Michael
