BamsBams say that if certain people followed forum rules, there would be much less need for moderation. As far as making threats goes: I don't make threats, I mean exactly what I say. Now, since you've decided to take your complaints public, it would be a disservice to anyone reading it if I failed to inform members of the following background:
In 99% of your posts that have been moderated - intervention was used because you've either started, or attempted to start, flames with other members. In a couple other cases, you have posted completely off topic with posts of a personal nature - criticizing other members, or your post simply had no redeemable value whatsoever. I was gone for months, and I've returned to find you breaking the rules more than anybody else around here - so naturally, the hammer has fallen primarily upon you. You are solely responsible for that. I have copies of everything you post, and so does GB. I can easily back up every action taken on this forum to stop you from starting more trouble.
It is fully within the realm of powers as a moderator to delete posts, lock topics, and correct adverse forum behaviors as we see fit. Graybeard has made that very clear to all moderators with very few exceptions. The idea that I am on a power trip is utterly laughable. I have NEVER exceeded my authority or gone beyond the rules for moderators. It's YOU who is on some kind of ego trip.
Anyway, if you're not happy with the way things are being done around here please contact GB about it. Nobody else seems to be complaining except you - no surprise there either. All I know is, you ain't gonna be stirring up any trouble around here while I'm on duty. Got it?
I consider myself very complimented by your post above. It says to me that you're simply finding it more difficult lately to start trash on this forum and you've become frustrated by that - which also simply means that I am doing something RIGHT in my responsibility to preserve the peace around here. Unfortunately for you though, the regulars around here will be able to see right through your little game above.
By the way, if anyone DOES agree with this guy? I'd be more than happy to give someone else a chance to put up with the nonsense I've had to deal with on this forum. I don't get paid for this work, and could certainly do without it in my life, but I chose to be a moderater to help us have a peaceable forum where everyone gets along, or at least, stays out of eachother's way. *smiles*
