While you may not agree with the decision made, people must abide by it. We elect three moderators in trust thay they keep the board running smooth, and that members feel free to post questions, concerns, ideas, and results. If a moderator's decision is not followed and individuals continue to attack a person and not an idea, then I would see it as abuse and take action. On the second question whether the vigilante is correct or not. This is a difficult one but addressable. In the event that a moderator has made a bad decision it was still a decision. While moderators have very little time in some circumstances to make a decision the rest of the board has a lifetime to analyze it, or tear it apart. Moderators will make errors, there is little doubt in that. His or her decisions must be respected and followed, or there is little point to having them. Peter
