Ok, I've bounced back & forth to this thread a few times, trying to control my anger...it's not working...
Yes, the mod in question is a self-confessed control freak, who has been delegated by Kim to keep the topics within certain lines...I don't always agree with the mod's decisions, but like Sharni, I know that the decisions made are in the best interests of the site...and it gripes my ass to no end to see some newbie come in & tell us how we should be running things here (don't get me wrong, I love newbies who come in & play by the rules)...
And just for the record, I've been having a bad day for several weeks now, & am very short of patience right now...ok, that's my rant, I could be wrong...
