Sometimes a mod feels compelled to take swift action without the luxury of waiting 12 hours or so to hear back from the other mods. I have acted in such a manner at times also and I have similarly come under fire. The mods receive unfotunately, very little thanks for their efforts, mainly jibes and criticism. Like I have always said, it's a case of damned if you do and damned if you don't. Regards, Graham.
