Brian,
List your troublemakers and why you think they are troublemakers. Lets have a "forum hearing" and decide who is right and who is wrong. If your pm box is burning up with complaints then I think that would be best. Your personal "war" with the troublemakers isn't the way to go. In all fairness, you have the mod button, not us. List the names of the troublemakers you suggest we have in the regulars here. I agree to leave if deemed a troublemaker, would you? Would anyone else? Your opinion shouldn't be the only one heard, you don't like me, so, of course ANYTHING I say that you don't agree with will be used to form your opinion of me.............deeming me a troublemaker. I can and have admitted when I have been wrong. Will you?
I can believe your explanation of the editing situation.......Maybe every now and then it doesn't say it was edited. I just wonder why Charlie would lie about it though (not saying he lied) if in fact he did.
In closing, you suggested you guys are reading our pms!! Is nothing private anymore?
