Dialyn: You're right, there are some moderators here who do a sterling job, Crescent for example and a few others. But there is always one who decides he's funny and won't talk normally, rather just making blind comments and sweeping statements while smirking at his cleverness. Jeff has revealed himself to be one of those. My dislike of his behaviour in this thread doesn't alter my opinion of the moderators here who do show respect and are "up-front". My opinion of at least one moderator here though has undergone major revision. Yes, respect works both ways, it's always been a two way street. You can't get what you don't give. But I refuse to give what isn't earned and especially when everything is treated with contempt and flippancy. Take Spike for example. His responses to the majority of threads is one line. "We're dealing with this" or something similar. There's a reason I don't take off after him for not answering a question with a straight answer. That reason is simple. While I might not like that kind of answer I appreciate that Spike is busy and has a lot on his plate. So, I don't snipe at him (very often) and I don't make an endless point of it. He has a job to do and mostly does it pretty well. A pity that others don't set their own examples by people like crescent and others here. But would rather gratuitously label people in general as morons, blocks of unclarified messages as crap, and claim it's all "so much extra baggage". I expect that sort of nonsense from an ordinary member who has little or nothing to lose, not from an "official", a representative of this site. That's something else entirely. If jeff has such contempt for the members of this site then perhaps he should take a break or move on to something that isn't such a terrible burden.
