With all due respect, there have been several instances since you became moderator that you have taken your duties a little too seriously, IMHO.  At the time, it made more sense that you deleted it than the author.  If I had the power, I might use it myself now and then just to irritate people.   8)
I wasn't gonna respond to this thread but now I think I need to. Being a moderator is a thankless job that is most of the time more trouble than it's worth considering there is no pay. I'm a moderator on several forums and an administrator on another. You have to find a happy medium that satisfies everybody and that alone is harder than it sounds. There will always be somebody who doesn't get their way and is eventually offended buy the moderators action. The site awards a moderator the power to make their own spur of the moment decisions and usually stand behind those decisions regardless of the outcome. With this in mind I respect their decisions even if I don't fully agree with them

Moderators, keep up the good work doing a thankless job  :T

You have no clue why I do what I do. You have no idea how many PMs we as mods get from people complaining about other people and the things posted on here. Until you walk a mile in my shoes you have no right to judge why or what I do. Also you know what they say about opinions..........they are like butt holes..............everyone has one and they usually stink!  ;D

I'm out on this one.

It appears the job is making you a bitter man.  As I said before, you might just be taking your duties a little too seriously.

I love this website. And, I appreciate the thankless job of the moderators. But, I donated money as a contributing member to it, only once. Because, after I'd donated, I realized that I was paying to provide a pulpit/forum for people to insult, fear and hate people they chose not to like. Also, a few years back, I had one of those "Save the Manatee" license plates. That is, until I found out my money was going to create MORE no wake zones in our waterways that would prohibit me from operating my PWC at any speed above idle(even though I had no propeller to harm any manatee).

The way I see it, I enjoy my time in the pulpit and I'm willing to throw a few bucks Bones way to pay for the bandwidth.  Since you don't seem to mind using his bandwidth for your own time in the pulpit, you might want to consider tossing a couple bucks his way as well.  You certainly have no qualms about jumping in the middle of the fray so why not help a guy out?

Or, instead, we can donate our money to groups who actively-oppose some of the insulting, fearful and hateful ideals(expressed here). Or, let's make it strictly a pay site. We can pro-rate the annual donation fee according to which person(s) or group(s) we'll be authorized to insult, fear and hate. For example, Newbie Mudslinger, Junior Mudslinger, Supreme Mudslinger, etc.. :)

By the way, I love this thread. I have to say that both trx and NYRaptor are freaking jerks.
I love it when the heat gets turned away from me for a while. ;)

Matt, you live in Coral Springs; the land of milk and honey!  Certainly you could afford a couple bucks for Bones.  It's the least you can do for the amount of wasted bandwidth you use.   :o
