Are you serious? You can't be that paranoid... right? What is your agenda here anyways? Sorry but when folks explain or attempt to promote some form of fear or other low frequency publicly, something must be done about it. Like right away! Bare with me please.
btw I feel very uncomfortable concerning your avatar, will you comply by removing it now pls? Okay... "Pretty please?" No? Well that's ok because I believe your correct in keeping your avatar the way that you like it. So long as forum rules agree which I'm sure they do. I don't know much about copyright material and you claim to be using something like that, I dunno. Maybe you bought that album so you own it and can place it on the internet? Again I don't know copyright laws well, sorry.
However, what ever you and that other mod have between each other is your business, not mine or anyone else here. Sorry I just don't feel to comfortable around those who so freely and willingly talk about other people. Such in my opinion doesn't immediately, completely and evenly defend all involved as well. Are you a mod in another forum or have you ever moderated a forum or chat room for over six months?
Because that does make a big difference in my opinion. You see being a mod, especially one who volunteers her or his own time and energy and intellect to such a large forum, like this one, should be paid money for all the stuff they must endure. Guess what? A mature mod, one who goes by all forum rules doesn't complain to the internet public especially to his or her forum members concerning those whom cause her or him any grief about anything in life. If so then such mods should seriously rethink about staying in any forum as "mods". Have I moderated any forums before??
You bet I have.
So it's like your saying that the public in this whole forum, or at least those who've read your comment concerning your mod in question, should now take your word that the mod is wrong (or negative?) and that we all must now judge that mod?? What right does anyone have to judge anyone? Am I better than you are you better than me, for that is a form of judging. Why couldn't you just contact the forum supervisor and tell them what happened between you & that mod?
Even if you did contact any mod supervisor why are you still complaining here and now? If you couldn't get it resolved then that is the only logical reason why your explaining it all or some of it here in my opinion. Now if, only if, it wasn't resolved between you, the mod and the mods supervisor(s), then friend me and you should definitely talk about it all right now and get it out in the open more. If so please tell me the mods name and I'll invite her or him here to present more information here as well.
Another point is that we all, me especially are here to learn and evolve, not continue any more low frequency. Like you I too make mistakes but I also try to resolve things as a whole (for all involved). Doesn't mean that I am a saint either. Even if this is your way of venting, by explaining your mod story to all here, then it's still not good in my opinion.
For me it's more about knowing that everyone does change for the better, especially mods & members in this forum. We all must change together by helping each other. Like giving each other more perspectives on what ever challenges we all face. Hopefully your not offended by my perspectives here. You may even experience them for yourself if you chose to and I really hope you do.
btw, I am no more special than you and we both (believe it or not) needed to say what we had to say here. Call it life path of education if you like. My main point is that I do not desire any more challenges for AVALON, Project Camelot and all involved already have in life. If I am wrong for having any such perspectives then ban me from this forum right now.
