    In my expirience, SimonAppel ton is a good mod.

    And I would not say that he has his own agenda..

    you were told of the problem..

    "Wishing Org members fall of the face of the earth is flaming and unacceptable. I am going to edit the offending part of your post. "
    And
    Accusing CA of lying through their teeth and spouting garbage constitutes CA bashing and is against the forum rules.
    These are perfectly acceptable reasons.

    However I am not very impressed by your posting of the PM's
    The P in PM does not mean Public..
    Bear that in mind.

    Didn't like to say... but yeah, consider me an ass too.

    General4Hire tried to solve his differences with Simon Appleton through a PM, but failed to convince him that his posts were not offensive. Therefore he posted his warnings in the watchtower to show everyone that the warnings were unfair, plus SA's PM to show that he had communicated with the responsible moderator. Unfortunatly for him, public opinion was not on his side either.

    Shambles apparently cannot PM because his box his full (when you get a certain number of warning points your PM storage becames very small).

    Incidentally, I do think that this is flogging a dead horse. It is almost three weeks since the complaint was posted or any serious discussion took place.

    I agree: IMO it's bad form to post PMs without permission, except in certain special circumstances. One of which would be PMs from a Staff Member on official business. In any case, as Ludens point out, these were warnings, which happen to be copied to the patron via the PM system, rather than normal PMs.

    With my twisted sense of humour, I do find it highly entertaining that it looks like Kukri posted this thread!

    Here it is possible to be quite critical of CA, this is often done.
    General just needing to mind language a bit.
    You get away with implications of CA not saying truth, especial if you say how and why, and you must back such thing up with fact!

    You think this place is oppressive? I do not say that the .com boards are oppressive, but moderating is less tolerant of critical things there.

    Org moderators do so great job, almost always "spot on".
