I too must defend the moderator comments. It is a learning process and if anyone thinks you get the same from the site once "given the keys"...well let me just say its not all bubblegum and candy when your just browsing the site to make sure there are no out of control flame wars going on while you were at work all day.
When the site was new I met some of the original members but have not met many since. Often times I must read through an entire 45 post thread before coming to a conclusion as to edit or not. Why? because there are many little friendships and enemies around here. Its often hard to know if people are busting stones with their buds or seriously having a beef with each other. Quite frankly I dont know enough people here to know which is which and I am not about to start keeping a notebook on it either.
What offends one may not offend another. 50% will be upset if you delete and 50% will be upset if you dont. Those are the facts.
Maybe I should let the ax fly like so many seem to want. How do you all think it would go over if I deleted anything and everything that bothered me about a "hottie" thread? If I so much as make a move there I would be crucified by the masses......
Its impossible to get it right everytime. Sorry to dissapiont.
