Fair enough GOT. Not having a go or getting involved in the subject at hand. Not disagreeing about your decision you are obviously at duty to make about the primary concern. I just thought it would be nicer to spare her the embarrassment but that’s how the ship is run then fair enough. I’ll leave it.
No need to backpedal.
Clearly, you were having a go and you have got involved.
You've criticised the moderating action, and you've also criticised the integrity and motive of my moderation;
"To be scolded for the appeasement of the hounds when a private message would have sufficed"
Each to their own - I'd suggest if you could tag me in any future criticism - especially when it's regarding the integrity of my moderating, I'll be able to ensure you get a reply.
As I said, when the matter is on the integrity/fairness of the moderating of the forum and when it's a sensitive topic - I ensure moderation is open and transparent.
I also do not moderate to any appeasement.
Thanks.
