Look, I'ma put you all in opposite corners of the room!

Wait a minute...I'm not a mod. I can't do that.

Oh well, carry on.

Moderating a board is a tough job. The best thing to do is to alert the mods in regards to an offensive post rather than expect them to find it on their own. Then you really do need to give them a reasonable amount of time to respond.

And just like in prayer: sometimes the answer is no.

That doesn't make it any easier to swallow an insult. Which is why it's sometimes wise to take a break from the board(s) once in a while. I know I need a break every now and then.

What's your problem, Ray? I was joking around on that post. And of course no one cares, except possibly you, since you took the time to bitch about it.

Just giving you a taste of your own medicine. You'll find unchallenged support for your views on RFM, but here it's different. Would you like a catalogue of your insults too? It's free of charge.

Jersey, this is too harsh. As you have used the only vote you feel you possess, I can't sit idly by and continue the flamewar.

Had you contacted me privately I would have removed the post and apologised based upon the nature fo your concern.

Yes it was over the top, yes it was a tad bit pornographic. And yes, i have been giving you the lions share of crap.

Happy now?
