It just seems to me as if you're a wee bit 'into' the policing of that particular forum. Opinions are fine but moderators need to remember that their position alone tends to be that of a wedge in certain scenarios. I learned that the hard way.

Just trying to help.

But, just a question for everyone, can't we mods have opinions too? Please notice I've never "threatened" anyone for disagreeing with me. I really try to separate my opinions in the P&R forum from my more "official" duties as a mod. In fact, as I said (or implied) in one of my posts, anyone who wants to can call me "stupid", an "idiot", a "moron" or any other epithet you would like to use, (as long as it passes the forum censor - no "bad" words) and I simply don't care. I'm happy to engage in conversation about most any subject, and I don't care what you personally think of me. I'm too old to take offense over things like that.

Anyway, I'm going to go with the advice of the other mods in this.

Thanks again for the input! It's been something I've been worrying over myself.

- Jack
