Please try to understand their decisions, which are always made in the interest of the forum and its members. Do not post your grievances on the forums, if you have a problem you should contact a member of staff.I do not see anyone being vilified.  Instead, I see an individual being held accountable for his actions.  To ignore some behavior only encourages more of the same.  Nothing hurts a forum more than over moderating.  The staff here has shown the good judgment to let us work most of these issues out on our own, then move on.  Every once in a while when a line is crossed, management appears to quietly handle it behind the scenes. That may very will be the case here.  Let's see what happens over time and in the meantime, enjoy that virtual drink.</blockquote>
