I understand that. I tried to get my point (formerly above) across in as civil a manner as I could without stepping on toes and without causing hurt.
It was just something I felt was the right thing to do regarding all that went on in that other thread.
Memnoch responded by editing the opposing posts in that thread and in return, I came back here and edited what I had previously posted in this thread out of respect for you guys and the job you do, stating in my edit that I think I came down a little hard on you guys.
I know your position is not always an easy one to have but at the same time, neither is ours when we are being verbally accosted for our opinion or for standing up for it when it gets taken out of context for the sake of continuing an argument or taunting someone.
I feel like bent over backwards to show respect the other day and got repeatedly accosted anyway...that's my problem, not yours but I do thank Memnoch from the bottom of my heart for editing out those flames.

Anyway, its true that LoA was VERY harsh in those comments, but you say that everything is ok now, and ive talked to him about it, so the best thing everyone can do is forget the incident, but learning from it.

Agreed. I just did not think it was right for it all to be left there.
I hope you can understand that.

I think that everyone is responsible when flaming, saying "he/she started flaming me so i replied" is not valid. If anyone gets flamed, the best thing he/she can do is report a mod by email, like saz said, and wait. ziroc and sazerac are americans, memnoch is australian and im spanish, so we cover a lot of time, but its still possible that no one of us is online, so dont be impatient, be sure that as soon as we connect and read your mail the first thing we´ll do is come here and try to fix it. sure its good that members try to deal with a flamer or a troll, but deal with it without flaming anymore... like they say (at least here in spanish) "it´d be worst the remedy than the illness".

I agree with you and I admitted my role in the argument that went on. I would not expect to be shown any mercy if I flamed first or flamed later...if you want me to restore my above post to contain its original content I can.
But, when a mod is participating in a thread where such obvious flaming is going on, it should not go unnoticed or unchecked!
I have no problem sending an e-mail when no mods are around, but when they are, and even participating in making posts in a thread where someone else is being so cruelly flamed and nothing is done to the flamer, I, like anyone else here, would think, if I were the one being flamed, "What's the use?! They obviously see what has been said and I account for nothing on this board."
I hope you can understand my point of view here...not just in the post I made earlier, but in my editing it our of respect for you guys as well.
