Gerry, I have found very few posts here that were offensive, in the almost 4 years I have dropped into the AD forums. I have found none of yours to be offensive. I hope all will be well with you, and I do hope that you continue to drop into the forums.
BTW, I have a problem with a name of one person posting in the Safety Valve forum. I find it disgusting, and hopefully, something will be done about it.
To all, this will be my only reply in these matters, i've got a sore forehead from banging my head up the wall while sitting back and watching all the forum fireworks go on and on..

No mods that i know of fight amongst ourselves/theirselves, in public or in private
Originally posted by zudzig: I've implored moderators and members alike to stop this fighting in public
i've now given up imploring members to see common sense and stop using our public forums as a battleground
Originally posted by zudzig: I apologize to Creaky ... again, not for what I said but for doing so in a public forum. God knows I've fired people at the office for doing the same thing ... not for disagreeing with me but rather for the manner in which it was done.
that's the only reason i get involved with these threads, just to keep some order on the public forums
Originally posted by zudzig: So, once again, I apologize to the group, not for my sentiments, but for the public fight which brought all this mayhem about and ask you all to please stop the bickering on my account.
it would be great if the minority who insist on airing all their dirty laundry in public forums would listen to you here Gerry, you can all say what you like in private but just because this is the Safety Valve doesn't make all the petty bickering any less public for our half a million users (or whatever the figure is). It's pretty clear that no-one will listen to what i or other mods say (i find it easier to just close the threads to stop the public mud-slinging from dragging on). Please for once would the minority take heed of Gerry's request, do it for his sake if no-one else's. What i will say is that I would advise the same minority to start PM'ing each other with your email addresses as if the bickering doesn't stop pretty soon, i for one will just remove all offenders from the site. (to be fair if people are so friendly you should have personal email contacts anyway, just common sense really). It's not right that half a dozen unhappy people out of something like half a million members should keep using the public forums in such a manner.
Ireland, how about you get your hide back in here , if only to stop these people going mad :)
I actually chose the wrong verbage myself and really meant to say "I didn't get a chance to respond" Don't be a stranger.
