[i]Wrong. They have passed a "test". They've all shown a long track record of "moderation", long before johnny-come-lately's come harping from the peanut gallery, thinking they know everything that's going on.[/i]

Nice one. I guess you think someone who knows the law makes them a good law enforcer.

That statement doesn't make sense to me. Of course someone who is going to "enforce the law" should have a knowledge of the "laws", as well as someone who has a knowledge of the laws, should have an opportunity to enforce them if they choose.

Which is what the moderators have done - chosen to enforce the rules of the site.

I don't get all this drama lately. It's like a gang of spoiled kids with too much time on their hands - fussing and crying over who stole tinker toys. Christ almighty - grow up & move on. Does anyone really think belaboring the point is going to change anything? Will gathering up your toys and running home change anything. Last time I checked most of us were over 21 - start acting like adults.

Honestly, I'm thrilled that the moderators have chosen to enforce whatever small rules there are to this site. People have come in & treated it as if it's their own personal yousendit repository without regards to the owner of the site's request & throw a hissy fit at the slightest mention of not doing that.

Play by the rules or leave - it's that simple.

You're always the voice of reason around here. Thank you. (I'm not being a smartass. I really mean that).

Sorry, I was going to edit it, but I thought people would get the idea. What I should have wrote was:
I guess you think anyone who obeys the law makes them a good law enforcerer/police officer.

Obviously, there's more to it than just that. Laws don't tell you what to do when the shit hits the fan.

PS. Yes, I know I'm beating a dead horse here :).
