@Shane
The admin here already know how I feel, and I already did contact you and nothing came of it.  I had hoped that mentioning the problem to both you and the admin would have at least resulted in the post being put back by now.  It hasn't been so I assume that's because they are leaving it up to you to decide.

And for what it's worth, I don't hate or dislike you.  I agree with your take on a lot of things.  As "one of the lads" on the forum you're fine, but you have the wrong demeanor for a mod (I reckon so anyway).  That's not meant to get at you personally, it's just an observation*.

*So anyway, if I contact you by PM, are you going to put my totally harmless reply to Khai back?  I already contacted you once so I don't see what difference it would make, but if you want me to contact you again, I will, no problem.

Like I said to Shane, no one has been able to give a reason why any member should be expect to put up with a perfectly harmless post being removed while the bait that caused it, remains.  Even if Shane put the comment back I'm guessing only one or two more people would see it, so that alone should tell you that this is all about the principle of the thing.

I only want it putting back because it should not have been removed in the first place.

I couldn't care less what Khai said, but the point is I've been silenced from telling him I couldn't care less what he said.  If he's allowed to say that to me then surely I'm entitled to reply to it in the manner I replied to it.  I could have gone the nasty route and replied how a troll would have replied.  Instead, I respected the ToS and posted something in good humour instead.

It still got removed and the post that prompted it is still there.

Like I said before, it will either get rectified or Renderosity won't need to ban me, I'll simply stop posting here until they sort things out.  That might sound like a victory to the mod, but actually, all it does is indicate a failure because he was unable to bring himself to accept he was wrong, and put it right.  I'm never going to forgive him for removing it unless he puts it back because there was no reason to remove it.

I'm not in the wrong here, Moriador, so I hope he will rectify it.
