And I am going to be outspoken about it, it's my right. No, you had the same power they did, but you were not abusive with the power you had. You don't earn respect by being abusive to members, if they do not understand that concept, they should not have took the job. I don't have any problems with what they have done as moderators, that is their job, except in my eyes writing abusive and unfair e-mails in their job as moderators. I do have respect for you, and you seem to think they are doing a good job. So maybe I am being to harsh with them and unfair. We all make mistakes, so I will drop my criticism of the new moderators and start new.
