Being a member does NOT give one any responsibility for someone elses posts. When you csalled Mike on it I called out ALL people involved. Baiting (as was done) is no better than being baited and responding inappropriately (as was also done). This thread was the first time he posted a PURE off topic bait after I was a moderator. Rule 3 applies and the key word for this discussion is ONLY
3) Posts that are made only to insult, defame, attack or threaten another member of the forum will not be tolerated and may be removed. Mike was very good at getting around this. I am sorry your feelings are hurt but I am NOT responsible for that. The end result was that no one was moderated, no one was banned, and Mike un-subscribed. If you want any more than that please see to it that the moderators get paychecks and a medical plan.
