I don't see it that way either. I was not talking about your temp. moderating here. When I mentioned you I mentioned events that happened some year (or two?) ago, on some other thread, which used to be gold/pm and become politic thread. I can't to not mention you on this subject, you were unfortunately the main contributor and I will hold you guilty for it. When I mentioned 'careless moderator' I didn't have you in mind, but someone else allowing some endless religion posts at some other time, some year or so ago. I also agree with you about personal attacks. We should be mature enough. I was many time very angry at you (and I've complained) but there was no personal attacks from me. Yes there are on topic political posts and off topic political posts. First one's are ok and they are not causing flood of (many time angry) responses. Second one's do and they are the ones, that causing the problems and hard feelings. Those I was talking about. You know this. And, while I didn't agree about your "it's ok after trading hours" I really didn't have you and this in mind. I was addressing posters in general, using Koan as example, but it was meant really for all frequent of topic posters. Because my idea is(was), if we (every poster) decide to become respectful to others... then any loose thread rule wouldn't matter any way... And since we are adult and mature, this shouldn't be so hard... (so no, I'm not out there to get you) <g> This was my whole purpose. But I caused some off topic (although not politic) <g> msgs too so my apology, I'm now guilty too, and I'm now finishing with this subject. <EOM, EOS>
