When you feel it necessary to personally reprimand or admonish a poster, please do it privately in an email, a PM, or over the phone.
The quickest way to insure that
this forum will turn bitter and discourteous
is for moderators to scold board members in front of all other board members. This is a major NO No when dealing with people.
Thanks for your consideration,

As a forum member here "Please do not speak for me" . If in your above post you were referring to yourself.... well then I may understand.
Moderation of this forum is anything but oppressive and i don't think members are going to rally with you under the banner of "The Downtrodden" . Even the biggest of egos here seem able to be the friendliest and most helpful of any of the forums I frequent, aaah ...such a breath of fresh air! I for one would certainly be disappointed if things went the way you suggested they might. Hoping all will be able to offer each other a handshake of reconciliation on this forum when disagreements arise I wish you all long sunny days and happy travels. -Wayne
