No1, I'm quite an open minded guy. If it offended me, I'd have gone through the normal means of reporting a post thats available to all other members here. OK. Thats a little inaccurate. There is a similar process however, for mods to use which works the same way. Just that it's for mods to use. At the end of the day, all greviances are discussed and debated in the same place.
No2, I may be a mod here, but my moderating opportunities aren't about my peace of mind. or what offends or doesn't offend me. I can suggest something and the rest of the mods will give their take on things. I like to think it's a pretty good system that helps to avoid over reaction. After all, lets face it. If all the mods just did things on a whim, they would soon be accused of over reacting or even taking sides.
The overall point being, wether I like something or not, doesn't necessarily mean it will be moderated. And when things are moderated, theres always more than one of us who agree.
You mentioned earlier. That you suggested that some members are more tolerated than others due to their post count. Perhaps insinuating that we let stuff go due to a member's long standing here. Seeing as you 'randomly' picked Alth, I'm sure he will tell you himself this isn't the case. I will conceed however, that a member's behaviour could influence a decision made. A simple example would be a situation where one member deliberately 'baits' another member. Then recieves a retalitory response from that second member, and the 'baiting' member takes offence, and sees fit to complain.
