i didn't make it about myself and why do you feel the need to defend your actions, as a mod, for the above situation i listed? to be honest, you did a wonderful job and were very fast and very helpful in the situation. perhaps i mis-spoke when i said "slap on the wrist". and perhaps you didn't see the attacks in live chat, even though you eventually showed up towards the end of it. i just pointed out that i hope the new mods are better than some of the older mods. i deeply apologize for expressing my opinion which is relevant to this topic and i believe very note worthy to many who do not believe or see mods engaging in activities as the ones i have pointed out. i have had several of the "new mods" pm me and ask me questions about certain things that have happened over the past week and in the past and for my input and to hear both sides of the story and to help themselves acclimate to what is going on. wait, i must admit, this did become about me. why? i am a regular user of this site. a paid member. and i was flamed by a mod and attacked by him in live chat. i think it is reprehensible, and it appears more care was taken with the selection of the new mods than with several of the older mods. so yeah, it is about me, because i am a user, and this site is about US the users, paid and freemium.-0
