However, I do agree with you point about it; that it is something we should strive not to do.

Dare i say it then but that doesn't say (too) much about that person's character then.
Anyway. You guys have a tough job as mods. Boy oh boy.

Well, I don't know if I would go that far. I don't think that the people that I have had to confront, infract or ban are necesarrily bad people. In fact, they may have been very decent people in real life. It is really only a problem with what they chose to be here.

I appreciate your sentiment. You do have to read threads that you normally wouldn't read and hang around the more toxic corners of the board more than you would like. Every moderator has voluntarily taking that position because they deeply care about the community and want to keep the ship upright and on trim. And it makes it worthwhile if we can give guys like you and others that really embrace what the community is about a nice place to hang your virtual hat.
